They say blood is thicker than water...
but this well has run dry..so my bruises "pop" like they've become part of my
outfit...
Potentially I saw better
Potentially I wanted better...
Potentially I knew it would be worth it...
But it’s the potential that got me here...
That has me disappointed in you...so blinded by what you could do
Turning my face away...from what you're doing. Society said you got the
potential...
So stick with it...
And that's the problem....the potential....
-A.C.T. 9/17/15
You ever been in
strong like or in love with a person because of their potential? Like you
legitimately saw so much more in them than what they were displaying? It was all
in the way you looked at them and how you noticed their drive and ambition for
certain things, how it was clear they had been hurt before, struggled with so
much prior to you and even during but you knew that it was nothing but greatness
within them. That if they put their heart and soul into what they truly loved
they would excel. So you encourage them, their gift, always sending positive
vibes their way, pray for them, wishing that one day they would see what you see
them.
Yea potential,
it's an awesome thing to see in someone because you always want to see the good
in people. It's a rare that many people ACTually see what a person can become so
when the time comes it’s magnificent. So if you have yet to experience this
...there's a message in this post for you.
So, anyway...you
see the potential and as I stated before you encourage them, you understand
their past, that people have misunderstood them for so long and they are dealing
with deeper issues than you could imagine but you become a listener, a friend, a
companion, what it is that they need.....now wait , let me interject something
right here... (You become what they need for the MOMENT, or this particular
moment in time).
Okay, now again
You help them in
shape form or fashion that you can, praying for them, being mental and physical
support because yes a person does require both. Everything you do is the
opposite of what others have done because one you've been there before and know
how to come out of all of that and two your support is genuine. Now, understand
it's perfectly fine to be supportive, show that you care and to help someone who
shows that do want help from someone willing to help them out. However, what
happens is that no matter what you do for them something still seems to be
missing from your eyesight.
Every day you try
to figure you what in the world is wrong with them based off their reaction to
things or they always seem to mistake a positive for a negative because they are
so used to people being negative towards them that what you are doing is simply
abnormal.
Well in one sense
they really need some time to themselves to figure out who they are, to remove
themselves from every battle they are in and change their way of thinking along
with their mindsets. It’s called "hurt" which if you never let it go for it to
heal than its something a person can live with forever. It will block out so
much from the things they truly want because they are consistently looking for
the bad in everything.
So as much as you
try to help ...you are doing good and the impact you are having on them is doing
its part but it can cause you to be frustrated and lose focus on yourself;
trying to help them out.
But they seem to
be non-chalant, continue lying unnecessarily, overreacting, and continue to do
things that they need to stop doing. They may drink heavenly because it's an
escape route to have a moment where everything stops for a few seconds. They
seem to want to party all the time as a distraction for their reality or they
show they care but their turmoil causes problems (cheating, excessive lying,
distance) those types of things.
Again, the entire
time you are just simply going...What is wrong with you? Because you seem to be
the mature one, extending open arms to be there for them but again all of these
things still exist.
See what I mean?
How something as potential can cause you to lose sight for who a person is RIGHT
now
So yeah you see
the King or Queen in them, but the truth is they have yet to see it. You can
tell them all day but until they recognize it, it meaningless. Sometimes you
have to let go of people so that they can see who they are through your eyes.
Allow them to tap into that by going on with their lives without you and if you
two shall meet up again they will think you for it. When you make a great impact
on people they remember; to be honest you are better remembered then all of the
people who have done them wrong.
This was me
once....I had fallen for someone based off their potential....I never will
regret it...
I saw so much in
them...the crown they wore. The kingdom they could rule...
As a writer...the
ability to construct how magnificent they were in their future into words and
pictures was a present I still have wrapped....
They had so much
in them...I knew no one could see what I saw. Because their eyes were so focused
on bad things that to hear a positive word was strange beyond measure....
That was an
experience....I'd tell my readers...my followers...my children. And the man I'm
going to marry one day....
Stories like that
can change people. Reach a new mind...
That was me....in
strong like of potential...
Nobody once wanted
to hear the truth from me....
Potential. Most
would say its eff'd up....I say a joanin..is a real feeling...that can take over
your mind as well as your eyes...
potentially I just
saw more.. So I LEFT!
potentially.
