I found solace
and a small fragment of inner silence.
Strange its not with any of the individuals
I yearned approval from
...
I had a crushing epiphany;
They were not the margins I should have been reaching for.
They are the weights that were holding me in discontent.
I desired their company so fiercely I never noticed
...
They were very much a part of me
But alas, one of  me I wish to leave be.
I am sorry I hadn't left them sooner
more than I can apologize for doing them wrong.
