Wrenches, cogs, oil spills
triggers, hurdles, mine fields
barriers,
keep spinning that wheel
keep feeling those feelings,
shouldering those burdens,
having those meetings,
interventions,
voicing of opinions,
and confrontations,
It’s all necessary –
don’t apologize,
unless malicious,
which you aren’t
they don’t know your heart
like I do
they don’t know your heart
like these five do
they don’t know your heart
like she does
they don’t know your heart
like he does
Some can’t take in the pain, and some can respect it, like watching the news and flipping the channel
Some won’t buy the product, and some become invested, because they truly care about reading the manual
It’s okay, girl, this little circle is enough even though it doesn’t feel that way
When each loss, or perceived rejection feels like an ancient burden from eternity
