Sometimes it’s not others from whom we must escape, but our overly critical selves.
Your Tender Morsel No Longer
No words
Are more powerful
Than the piercing silence
Of walking away
And leaving behind
Those who no longer
Empower you …
… including the one
Eagle-eyeing your existence
From the mightily
Misguided mirror

I absolutely love the power in this language. I feel like it’s so hard to walk away from things and you really need to find the strength and power within yourself to do it when it’s right. The language that you used exudes that.
