If it was always an option...

If it was always an option to turn and walk away, 

I wish you would have that same day. 

Since you left I’ve had to stray and because of that, I’m finding my way.

Noticing the ones that stay, 

They stay because they like it this way. 

Despite the growing, 

Changing,

the darkness inside,

 They stay because I no longer hide who I am or who I will try to be. 

They stayed while you left, 

because they know what love can truly be.

Sharing my art and articles here is such a lovely opportunity!
Thank you for reading and engaging. Constructive and kind feedback is always encouraged.
I hope you are enjoying my posts.
I would like to state that I have a collection of all of my poems in three published short books as well that you can search and reference or read more of if you'd ever want to.
A Gentle Mind on Fire, A Gentle Minds Embers, A Gentle Mind Smoldering.
