I am happy to be the me you might see.
Then there is the waning need to lose myself –
In a good book, a tv series or a cup of joe.
I truly wish I could fix it all.
Grab them all by the collar,
Dust off my boots and pushed through.
Dragging my feet on the rest of my mission –
Finding the peace I have been missing.
To think, I could have been another person.
Someone likable.
Something adorable to look at.
Somehow relatable.
Someone lost decades ago.
The world got messy.
The storyline blurred.
If I had to choose a time in which I wasn’t sad –
I can smell the beach from here.
I just wanted to run away from the triggers.
Hide from the noise.
I just wanted to be a kid.
I want to be left alone.
I wanted to play beside, not along.
I wanted to loved.
I give to my own so they don’t feel an ounce of this.
A chance to break a cycle I didn’t start.
A leap towards whatever normal is.
I would never hold them back.
I just want them to be what they want to be.
Know their worth.
Respect themselves.
Make the best of what the universe has given them.
