locke-e
You let me breathe,
Even when I can’t see myself.
For the nights I felt too full,
Too heavy,
A burden in my own mind.
Knowing what was better for me,
Was telling me to stop.
To take it in,
And come back when I was ready.
I couldn’t see that from the start,
Thought it was another careless thing to say.
But I took your advice to heart,
Ended a call,
Made it short but sweet.
Slept on it,
Woke up,
Feeling like me again.
You were right,
And maybe I was too blind,
Too in my head,
Stubborn to think I needed to take a pause.
Thank you for trying to do what’s best,
For telling me this wasn’t right.
That me feeling this way,
Could,
And should,
Be worked out in other ways.
