I saw my life the way he saw it.
Small.
I chased behind him leapt to please him and all for-
Naught.
I knew it but screw it I blew it
And I hated the little tiny mousy me
So I hated him for making me hate me
Then.
I wiped off my lenses.
Today
Cleaned my windows and rear view mirror
I see
Beauty and resilience
Shiny
Bigger
I see my life the way it is
I remain free
It’s good to be honest with yourself because if nothing else
You’re clean.
