Looking again
I thought I found who I was
But I ran from her
I made connections in ways I never had
now they’re lost
I came back to what was known
im reminded why I fled
I don’t know how to be comfortable
I avoid it
I wish I could let myself
be
Something scares me
I find it so eery
The idea of forever
I don’t know how to give myself

There’s always a little voice
because of you
I wish I could find turn it down
I wish my biggest enemy wasn’t me
I found her
I couldn’t accept her
I lost her
I miss her

"I’m definitely getting a feel for your structure. It’s a free verse but all your poems have a similar cadence about them. They’re really fluid. You’re a good writer, able to articulate your thoughts and you lend the fee…" -
