Space Cling

Space Cling

A Poem by Elleannatasha
"

It's all about respect... which must start with self.

"
You know you can sense when it is time for some space
A little breathing room to let heads stay straight
To regroup, find direction, commune with your goals

That need that you observe, fearing its meaning,
Is not an invitation to cling, it is not rejection
Nor is it a catalyst to close yourself off.

It is simply an invitation to give and receive respect
Because someone who knows to keep their energy inside
When it isn't that savory or safe for consumption

Is someone who understands the nature of the thing
The need for balance and room and breath
They know how to know themselves.

Savor that, celebrate it, kill the fears that whisper.
Those who know when to withdraw and take stock 
Are hamonious chords in the din of self abuse.

Deep...and introspective. You've made a lot of "connections" here to a global feeling that I think many can relate to. I love the idea of respect beginning with oneself, though it is often a difficult thing to employ. I'm naive...I believe that I will get back from people what I give, and that is not always the case. Nevertheless...this was a beautiful write. Well done.
