Becoming Me

Darklady

Peace.
An elusive desire.
I feel more now
With no one.
Inside me
Is where it lies.
My illusion was that
Someone had to
Make me whole.
Reality is that
I am me.
I am whole
Already.
I walk through
My pain
In my own way.
How dare you say
The way you heal is
The way that I
Should feel.
You have no idea
Who I am.
Precocious child,
You focus on yourself.
I stand alone.
Much different than you.
My process is
Perfect for me.
I see you reaching for
Gossamer webs.
I see you
Trying to hold onto
Air.
Turn a blind and happy eye
Away from truth.
Clutch the straws that
Make you think
Of youth.
