Poems
2d
return to sender
baby, don't
misunderstand
internal
struggles
are a mess
all i've got
is hope
that one day,
i'll find solid
ground
so i can return
to myself
and safely land.
return to sender,
i will not surrender;
this postcard is
a testament.
i promise you that
my will is strong,
and i will find
solace and center
because
i didn't make
it this far
to give up
on a future
together,
forever.
so baby, please
understand
internal
struggles
are a mess.
all i've
got is hope
and my word
that one day,
i'll return
to myself
and safely land.
inspired by nsync’s “this i promise you.”
a poem about loving someone deeply—even while fighting to return to yourself.
this is a promise written in the quiet.
