Misty

No shade all tea

By Mesaye Published 3 years ago 1 min read

I don't want to be anybody's anybody

I can not be last or an after thought

My love is not for sale: it can not be bought

My fears must be acknowledged

Give me some validity

Me trusting you trusting me gives to a normal fluidity

A reason or explanation just to see

Where this takes us, how we will be

I've answered the call ringing from my destiny

Very promising, it's speaking win for me

If I had to repeat don't know if I could again

My past is my past, yeah we had a blast

But subconsciously I knew that that shit wouldn't last

Mainly because I was lying you see

Me being with you, I had to change my identity

I wasn't being true to me & owning this shit now is devastating G

For this barriers have been put up

Doors were closed shut, falsehoods a protective shield

Hermit mode became a source of torture, a punishment if you will

Anything or anyone getting close never got the real

I've watered down my existence as some form of penance

Until the universe shifted reminding me of what I've been gifted

I was prepared to die with the lie, complacent as could be

Of the world never truly knowing me

Only knowing me by name...

Oh, it's Misty...

From the moment I read my first Edgar Allen Poe story when I was 12 yrs old, I knew what made my heart flutter & what drove my imagination. Writing has been something I’ve loved doing, fell far away from & am now drawn back to it!
