A Poem a Day

Keeps the heartache at bay

Sovereignty

You ever been so uncomfortable your skin crawled? Your eyes well up with tears that threaten to fall. And still, you don’t allow them.

You out here still being considerate of mfs who don’t give two shits about you and your comfort.

But you can’t bring yourself to be loud and take up the space you deserve.

Why, cause you’re afraid to hurt feelings and sit on your throne?

Are subjects not supposed to bow before their sovereigns?

Instead, you allow them to frolic in your castle, doing and undoing as they please, and you sit a ways away, seething.

No wonder who you are now seems so foreign.

You’ve allowed this to continue without voicing your own feelings, you know the ones that matter most of all?

You’re allowing them to trample all over you but you won’t do the same to them?

Why not?

It only matters to you, to them it matters not.

Obviously because they suffer no lack of comfort, they exist in your realm because you allow them to.

But isn’t it time that you worried less about them and more about you?

Invest the energy into yourself and take back the presence in your throne room.

There is power in you, waiting for you to heed it, to wield it to do anything but keep it dormant.

Make yourself known, you are sovereign and they are little more than garden gnomes.
