Whispers of the Inevitable

A poem of impactful reality

Currently I wish to play the victim as if this role would win me an academy award,

I loathe both the intensity of my emotions and my sensitivity,

Either I’m in a war for love or a war for peace,

I can’t be in two places at once but I try my very best,

I’m the happiest I’ve been in over a decade yet I can see familiar patterns brewing,

I can see me failing once again in the journey to be happy longterm versus the instant gratification I’ve become so accustomed to,

I am lost in my season but found in my same old patterns,

I can’t front, I want my life back,

I need to love myself more,

I need to slow this car down before I injure those around me,

Be that is the king of destiny and the appointed prince of solitude,

I grant my higher self to intervene and prevent the inevitable from occurring,

I allow myself to change,

I give myself permission to love fast yet responsibly,

I approve my petition to be complete on my own,

I embrace my individuality,

I embrace the changes.
