When did freedom start
Feeling so confined
How does pure desire
Find its way to shackles
&
Wade so deep
In
Codependent indecision
Just settle in
With how you've been
Afflicted
Don't worry child
Life's never mild
Don't make it bigger
Than it needs to be
To have a reason
To run and flee
It's OK child
It stings
When you feel
Hungry on Tuesday
& by week's end
You're
Diving off the deep end
Do not be alarmed
It's just your
Beating heart
Earning every drop
Of love you've
Fought for
Dropped for
Stopped for
