Unhealthy attachments
I’ve had them one, twice, probably more than thrice.
Only then do you realize,
Not solely the things about yourself,
But in recognizing the signs
Of an unhealthy attachment.
You learn to set boundaries,
And to stop explaining,
When you’ve constantly already said enough.
You have said your part,
Now it’s up to them to learn theirs.
You have learned to control yourself,
From not becoming too involved in their lives,
Or too curious or interested,
Or worse, dragged into their mess,
Because of the greed of attention,
If it has become excessive,
Will hurt more than anything once it is gone,
Or will suck the life out of you,
If you become a co-dependent.
Know your limits,
And know theirs.

I write poetry and blogs about my curiosities in life. Why do we stress? We do we settle for less? Whether it's heartbreak, inspirational writings, I'll just write away~
The Golden Valley
The difference between light and dark could be as quick and simple as a flip of a switch, the drawing of a curtain, the opening of one’s eyes. It could be more gradual like the slow adjustment of the diaphragm on a microscope, the turn of a planet on its axis, the growing light as you approach the end of a tunnel. A flicker in the dark, a steady glow in the distance, a flash in the night sky.
