Let Me Explain

I take care of me, 

so I won’t need you

and it will take me a while

to even say I want you.

I won’t let myself be that person

that relies on someone else

because that has never really

worked out for me.

At the end of the day,

I’m all I’ve got,

and that’s enough for me

if that’s all I’ll 

ever have.

Something I've been struggling to explain lately

wow, someone put my thought to words before i did
every one of us has our own image of how and where our lives will be
the heart stands blocking our way and we experience the loss of what we think we had
it's called life
you have put to words what most cant
well done

I have no profound words for you.

I like it.

These are such wise words, Green! Everyone wants to be dependent on themselves in life, and you have expressed it here so wonderfully. Loved it!

These are wise words dear poet. I taught my daughters. Make your own money, never depend on someone for your life. One day. You can be alone and you must be able to pay your own bills. We do learn. We must depend on ourselves. Thank you for sharing the amazing poetry and your thoughts.

oh wow, keep struggling, enough, it is well messaged, but needs more uniqueness. You will eventually feel it, hun, great read! :D

I think it's wise to be self reliant.
I can relate to this.
