This is Me for You
(silent edition—Piece 2)
_______________
waiting.
at the door.
that you closed.
knocking
knocking
knocking
let me in.
talking
talking
talking through the door.
i want in.
waiting
waiting
waiting
the sun through the window now blinding my eyes.
trying not to
trying not to
trying not to
cry.
so i do.
i can’t tell if you hear me over my screaming whimpers.
i want in, let me in!
you won’t let me.
you Can’t let me.

i have to walk away now.
my legs are giving out.
and i have to leave before they give up.
cause i’ve given up
on you.

The poem is titled
Self-Love

It’s about the process of accepting being unwanted. And the necessity of doing so.

You can try, you can try, you can try, but if someone closed the door on you, you’re wasting your energy.

You’re giving yourself away to someone who doesn’t want a gift.

And that is exactly what you are:

A gift.

So realize that the person is not going to open the door, and walk away before your legs give out.

Because you’ve already had people give out on you. You don’t need to do that to you.

The moment you walk away

from the person who closed the door on you

Is the moment you know
SELF LOVE
