.Beyond.This. (Poem)

I sit and I listen
I sit and I read
I sit and I give advice
To this mediocre problems those around me seem to be having
These little ass things I would die to be going through instead of what I have went through.
These little ass things you need to just suck up or DO SOMETHING about.
These little ass things that are starting to annoy me.

I'm a good friend.

So. . .
I listen.
I give advice.

But
In the back of my mind I'm thinking. . .
WTF?
Are you serious?

Maybe because my pain was on a larger scale and I can no longer see these things as a problem.
I'm beyond these things but I can't fault my friends
I can't NOT be there for them because of my personal feelings
But sometimes. . .
I WISH, they could see things the way I see it.
See that there are so many things Beyond This to worry about.
So many worse things that could be going wrong.

And maybe because I have grown to just get over the little things.
Not saying i don't get mad
frustrated
anger!
even irritated at times
I DO!
All the time!
But then I think back to where I was a few months back.
What I was going through,
how I felt,
how I had no one
And then I see where I am now and where I want to be

And I am
Beyond This!

Beyond these mediocre problems of the world.
Beyond the. . .
I need new shoes
She is pissing me off
My mom will be mad
blah.blah.blah

Onto the. . .
I just want to be happy.

Because in reality your personal happiness is all that matters
When you begin to let the outside things take over your insides
YOU FALL.
And I am not willing to fall again!

So, I am Beyond This.
