Stale…

She said she’s grown tired of my stories

Yet she’s helped shape so many of them

A part of my tapestry

I can see she’s worn of us

Certainly of me

And I can’t help but be weary, of my damn self and all that I destroy

When I don’t keep it simple

When I try to overcorrect for my childhood

Reparent myself through maladaptive protections and projections

As if that start to this unfinished life ain’t part of my very splendor and power

When I run from or smash into my story

That she’s grown so tired of

So let’s create new ones

And heal
