By Charlotte Musgrove
Dawn of realisation
Electric clarity courses
through dusty memories
You were a product
of your environment
A person with fledgling
wings that never allowed
you to soar
I knew
You knew
That’s why I stayed so long,
but the acknowledgment
never came
Thank you
Thank you for showing me
what true fear and weakness
looks like
Terrifying
Painful
And so deeply lonely.
And so those memories dissipate
Appetite for understanding quenched,
They once again retreat
into the internal universe
of me.
