The tireless view grows distant
and I'm trying to be okay with that
of the letting go,
It meant all of everything once
and the beauty was in feeling it
and letting it flow
Back in the beginning
when I didn't understand
anything about growth,
I let things be decided for me
while I accepted my hand
and, baby girl, it showed
It meant hiding me
into the nooks and crannies of the land
shielding others from any blow,
And while the honors kept coming
It reminded me I was constantly unmanned
and I realized it didn't have to be so
From now on even if it means
no one else will understand
I am taking my body whole,
And all that I have ever needed
I will crush into the grip of my stand
and decide for myself, saying aloud "No."
It has been a long time coming.
