I am an option,
One you’ll tire of,

Towards the end of last year, I learnt the valuable lesson in self-care by staying firm with my boundaries, even at the risk of conflict and saying goodbye to a few people in my life.

May I bottle it, keep a jar,
For a rainy day that drowns me,
May the rays keep me warm,
Until I find the right path to be on.
Am I tied to a place-
That sends me sinking,
Into an abyss of self-loathing,
A weight in the pit of my stomach,
Knowing I don’t belong here.
The forgiveness and love I give,
So freely to others in abundance,
I deserve to give to myself too.
Honey, it’s okay,
You can ignore it,
It’s only my heart.
My voice is strangled,
Words cut off from the source,
I wish so much to tell you things,
But if I do, I wonder what you’ll think-
Of me by the end.
I yield,
As soft as clay,
An unnamed victory.
I thought I could tell you everything,
Then I realised that by doing that,
I pushed myself further out to sea,
And now I’m drowning.
I collect our memories,
Polaroids and old tickets,
Moments I cherish,
Though not as much-
As my love for you.
