Poem №026

She was afraid of abandoning
Didn’t want to be left alone
She wanted desperately to belong

So she twisted in knots
trying to fit the molds
of everyone around her

But she wasn’t made that way
she cared too much
and felt too deeply
and saw things too clearly

So, one day
she stopped.

And she quit
trying so hard
for everyone else
and began
loving herself
into freedom.

She finally belonged
to herself

Where she fit
just right

And was never
alone again.
