Heartsick
and frustrated
when we can see
that people could be
so much more
so much bigger
so much greater
so much happier
if they only choose
to let go
to let go of some of their demons
some of their own insecurities
some of their own self-hatred
we can’t do it for them
and
it’s unimaginable for me
to let go of the HOPE
of anyone’s potential
if only he would ___
things would be awesome
maybe I could just ___
and it would all be ok
but I have to realize
that I can’t
I can’t fix it.
I can’t fix it for anyone
other than me
And so I must move on
without him
and focus on seeing
my own potential
Your poem is so powerfully descriptive…I can feel the pain in your words…your peace and strength shine through…

Because of Grace, thank you so. I pray for each of us to feel peace and strength, and it moves me that you see that in me. xoxo

Part of waking up to your own worth is letting go of those who refuse to honour it. I feel the pain of this truth deeply – the journey toward wholeness is one marked by deep suffering! May God give us grace to walk in dignity, standing firm for our own value!

You have a natural talent with verse, my friend. For the life of me, I do not–so trust me when I say you do!
