WhereA Poem by Armistead LindseyBoundaries are so important when relationships develop into something close. best friends can either stay as best friends or become or less, but boundaries or lack there of make it hard
Where should I stand,
In the corner? Head bowed Trying to prove my guilty side, That it was always right? Where should I stand? Behind the pews? Hands clasped Asking for forgiveness from a god That I never believed. Where should I stand? In the middle of the ocean? Chest tight Breath choked out of my lungs, like the truth. Where should I stand? On a sandy beach? Toes spread Celebrating my only victory of Conquering my own mind. Where should I stand? Before your eyes? Nervous, shaking Waiting to be judged, scolded, Applauded, hated, loved. Where do I stand? © 2015 Armistead Lindsey |
