I woke up this morning
Feeling lighter than ever.
I realized with clarity
That I no longer miss you.
I realized
Through sleepy eyes
That all my grass
Has been much wetter,
I mean greener.
I see now
That it was me
That I must choose.
-
Cause I've been watering the wrong side.
The wrong me.
The wrong tribe.
I've fed into the wrong lies.
The wrong hooks.
The wrong ties.
I may not understand
How you can just
Use any man
But I have come to
Realize that
Morally
That is not part of my plan.
-
I don't need
Your recipes,
No, I don't need
To taste your "truth."
I've conceded
You've defeated me.
Your wrath was so uncouth.
All the gaslighting
And little traps
Have all been rendered moot.
They've been trampled
Under greater strides.
They live beneath my boot.
-
"You are no longer allowed to love
Those who don't love you back."
I have sealed all of my smallest cracks,
I'm holding firm to that.
Of all the sheep that form my family,
My fleece was always black.
I just focus on the inner me,
And stack.
And stack.
And stack.
-
I woke up this morning
Feeling light.
My soul has been refreshed,
And I can only hope you find your peace,
I wish you all the best.
I love that I can recall memories
And not feel it in my chest.
I thought she had killed the best of me,
Nah, I just needed rest.
