i should probably go, i’m not from here

sometimes i have no idea how i’m going to make it to the end of this life being the person that i am. but every time i try and change to be more like the world, like others, thinking maybe it’ll hurt less,

i feel less, i care less, i love less, i lie. 

the less i like myself. so i will be fatigued, but i, as me, will arrive, at peace. 

every dog has it’s day. i hope even for a second, i see mine coming. i hope i’m proud when it does. 

there are too many unkind voices in my head.

only one of them my own. 

i know the others.

meaning

who they are.

i’m free inside 

there’s peace above the chatter.

externally it’s war 

humanity is lost.

i won’t go with it

my definition of love exceeds what i feel in most of my relationships 

most but not all

it’s a lonely cold existence 

but i feel warmth when you’re near 

i know it’s love.

i wasn’t meant to stay 

the way i feel grief and joy

the way they feel

just the same 

reminds me so 

but i will see my last day 

if even for a moment

ouch and thank you 

here but ouch 

ouch 

but

ow

man, i’m brave 

standing up for myself is healing my inner child and 

preparing me for motherhood 

this is what she needs 

this is how she’ll be treated 

that means

me

too 

ferociously 

imitation lion real life crab 

i’m 

afraid 

if 

one 

more 

person 

mis

handles 

me

will

remove 

every

single 

other

person 

in

my

life 

in

pure

retaliation

this

is

my

last

and

final

straw 

there’s a list of people i will not reach out to again. i have tried and i have tried and i have tried. i am not the one who’s out of reach. 

you know where to find me, but the access has changed. i’m not sorry anymore. i’m not a revolving door.

really,  

i should probably go, i was never from here.
