Whew

Inexperience told me

Go with all you got

Head first

Heart and soul

Mind and body

Life’s worth it

 

Mom told me

GOD loves you

Making me think

The red flags

Were deep rose colored

Blowing in winds of excess

To test

My strength, endurance, and loyalty

 

Life moved

Within the boundaries

Of my love

Like a tornado spinning

Over hallowed ground

Breaking my resilience

Loosening my tenacity

And hiding the real me

 

Detached emotionally

I remained obligated

To domestic fear

Financial confinement

And familiar pain

 

Torn between logic and

Reasonable expectation

A cold came over me

Parallel to my future

Perpendicular to my happiness

Engulfing my sense of self

Destructively

 

 

 

I was lost

So I warned others

Of the impending doom

Thinking if I saved them

I’d find myself

 

I was wrong

That’s fine

Because I’ve grown

To embrace my emotions

 

I’m coping

I’m dealing with it

I’m going thru it

I’m accepting

I’m liberating unhealthy thought

I’m reaching out

I’m working it out

I’m trying

I’m OK
