WHERE I HAD LEFT MY FEET..



My post # 401

 Written for 3WW: Vindication, Impetus, Solace

Where I Had Left My Feet..

Your ascent
Vindicates my slide
Don’t take blame
Of pushing me
And giving impetus
To my descent
It will happen anyway
A steady fall
Towards my own
Ground, where
I had left my feet
While opting for wings
Offered by you
May give me solace
Yes, standing and
Walking back on
My own feet slowly
Climbing again
Could be interesting
Ah, this time I won’t
Have to carry
The constant burden
Of your likes and dislikes
Finally, I get my chance
To stand in my own light...

    Everyone said what I would have about standing in your own light...so I will say instead: Yes, sometime you just have to do it YOUR way. A thoughtful poem!

    The journey to finding oneself is the most important one we'll ever make, isn't it.
    It's amazing how in relationships we give so much of who we are to someone else and trust that they will take care of it, and yet, we lose our own identity then too.
    Glad you have found your feet once more and, no doubt you have grown 'within' from the pain in the lesson.

    Standing firmly on the ground is a pretty good place to be. This is well expressed.

    The serious side of MS revealed! Wonderful how the persona bares his hurt feelings with a stalwart stance.Good read.

    Maybe standing on your feet is more noble than learning to fly..Jae
