He says my desires cannot be his desires
That my ambitions aren’t his problems
That I should learn to walk on my own
Nor wait to have his hand stretched out to hold.
He says my home cannot be ours
My dreams he cannot commit for sure
My conversations he cannot comprehend
My writings he cannot understand.
I pause for an answer….
The long wait has left me stranded in a dark corner
Civilization: I have left far behind
Learning to fight once again
My lone battle one more time.
The depleted strength regained
Are reminders of the days
When I stared fear in its face
Walking down my own path
Leaving footprints for others to fill.
Fading memories left behind
Replenishing the old with new dreams
Struggling to reclaim my space
In a new world order
Hoping none of it is a tall order.•
awesome…made me so sad…keep writing
