She may fall. She may fail, but she’s moving into a new space.

haven’t i run from my fear
have i proven avoidance
doesn’t give me peace
i couldn’t bury myself
long enough
for it all to end

nothing
washed away my pain
laying myself in the grave
gave me time to breathe
but how did it meet my needs

of course
i would believe
i had no right to live
it was the pill
fed to me

didn’t i learn
what they demonstrate
that i wasn’t worth their time
that my value was not more than
what they could extract from me
all i was willing to give
i emptied myself
ignoring my need
didn’t i feel disposable
despised
even though i tried
desperately
to prove i could be more
