I am Mine

I am alone in a living room filled with toys.
Shoes on,
With nowhere I want to go,
Only wondering where I went.

You used to think I was so interesting.
You used to think,
So captivating.
Here I am,
Wanting your approval,
Your desire.

I am in a living room full of toys
With my shoes on,

Wondering where you went.

I am alone in my thoughts,
On what I am and who I can be.
I push past any moment that was defined by
Others.

I’m left with an ocean that goes beyond eternity, and it is mine alone.
The seas are rough,
But I call them home.
My heart has weathered more beyond your
Callous skin
And careless time.
I am here,

And I am mine.

    I feel like you wrote that for me - the me that I was 8 years ago when I found myself newly divorced, a single parent of 3 children, and alone. There's hope. There is. Your poem is drenched in that hope. Courage. Strength. Resilience.

    So beautifully written, Kristy.

      Sometimes when my thoughts are a big, huge, confusing mess of cloud, a poem is an awesome way to express it and clarify a bit. Thanks so much for commenting!
