I am All Mine - A Poem
Updated: Mar 27
I am not your “Go To”
For the bored, the lonely, the empty or the ‘let’s see”
I am not your safety net,
Your sure thing,
Your easy option. Your drunken dial.
I am many things,
But
I am not your
“Go To”
I am Fire.
Phenomenal.
Formidable.
Beautiful.
Ferocious.
Alone.
I am not the easy ride,
I am the road less travelled
I am never someone’s “Home Base”
I am the resting place you never had.
I am not tame,
I am the Tamer.
The Slayer.
The Fighter.
The Warrior.
Sometimes,
The Seducer.
I am the solid ground you chose not to stand on.
I have become the strong boundary you tried to break.
Now you can’t catch me.
For I flow like water,
Breathe like fresh air,
Ignite like distant starbursts, And rest surely in my grounded self.
I am all this,
ALL THIS without you.
Alone. Without you.
And Myself again.
