been coloring the creations of others

distracted from creating my own

stuck in my mind

afraid of the pen

my greatest ally

dearest friend

feel the waves

of breath give life

to words unformed

inside my mind

free write

free flow

let it all go

structure unneeded

rules broken

this is my soul

it has no mold

I scarcely know

the shape myself

days like today

grateful with love

for love given me

by those who stay

stay

for now

and leave me never

all I need

is your embrace

love me whole

let go

untether

I need you

in my view

my life

don’t judge

me for my

anxious nature

I struggle

to be who I wish

but life goes on

problems get bigger

calls of

distraction

seem to win

don’t want my life

to lead to nowhere

a lonely woman

self-protected

once open fully

now to the few

who prove

they love me

like

you

do.
