Maybe the correct word is walk out


Self Talk

It feels awesome
to come home to oneself
It does.
I tried hard to get
a few things done
in present
to redeem the wrongs of the past
but i was determined
to do all that needed to be done
with peace in my heart and possibly, love too.
Alas! it was not to be
for some do not understand the
words, i state
or the place they come from.

And i cannot forget the history
of an instrument, which for me
determines its trajectory.
Its fate is doomed and it is dead
with me wanting to bury the body
but the other sees me alive
and thinks i am the relationship.

No, I am not the instrument.
I was wholly a part of it once.
subsumed in it and its paraphernalia
and then i lay bereft of it, mid stream
but now i am swimming to the shore
the other side and walk on.
