Next Generations (March 23, 2024)

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.
