There is Always a Reason
Cold
Shaking
Never knew fear could be felt so hard
—
Terror
Trauma
Death feels like it is trying to take me away
—
Visions
Dreams
Hoping all of this is not for no reason

I’ve loved so many
But I didn’t love me
Neither did they,
Though they did say,
They didn’t show me,
So they drifted away.
I choose me,
For so long I have chosen everyone else.
So many men,
Even a women,
Just so many,
I’d rather not say.
It’s time to be here for me.
It’s time to focus on loving me.
I choose me and that’s okay.
You may see me and want to change me,
But I am fully taken,
I am taken by me.
