"Keeping me to myself"
I learned something, about my Self
interesting enough, through someone else
Isn't that the way, often forgetting to see
that another does reflect, that which is me
The same place, in, that I am
a different view, in, which I stand
It is beautiful, what I finally do see
because it is, the reflection of me
It's in this place, I am home
it matters not, if I am alone
Disappointment to you, perhaps I may be
but I no longer have room, for the negative occupancy
Disappointment to myself, no one's tougher on me than me
I'm no longer chained to those voices, I'm setting myself free
Validation, confirmation, a wheel I no longer seek
for all that is, resides (centered) within me
Please don't misconstrue, for truly grateful I am
with all good & bad, as neither exist in life's exam
I'm tired of being tired, of trying so hard
figuring the hands dealt, the meaning of the cards
A flower does bloom, through the tiniest of crack
encased in broken concrete, and it knows not of lack
I am that flower and all else…goes on the shelf
I'm breathing in this space, and keeping me to myself
Words from a dream long ago:
"All is as it should be"
and I begin with;
"All that is"
~Love
Keeping me to myself
