Give her a break

You

always

always

always

follow her around

getting into her personal space

never letting up;

yes,

I know that you two are and have been best friends since kindergarten

but isn't that a bit much?

You do as many things as possible that she does

and I can tell by now

that she's getting tired of it;

she's human

she wants a break

I'm not speaking for her

but I'd just like to say

that you're getting way too close

she needs space sometimes, too

she's not immune to exhaustion and insecurity and introversion

I know her well

and when I say this, I mean it

give her a break, would you?

Give her some space

I know you like her

but it's getting on her nerves

heck, it's getting on my nerves too

just let up a bit, okay?

It's nothing against you

she just needs to breathe

    Your new-ish house

    your dog sleeping on the rug

    my family and your family chatting comfortably

    your kitchen with your hot chocolate

    the fun spinny stools at the kitchen island

    that's one of my happy places

  • Acceptance

    When we see flaws in ourselves

    we withdraw from society

    curl in on ourselves

    trying to hide from our insecurities.

    The thing is

    people struggle to understand

    that their faults are a part of themselves
