Wishful thinking,
Dreaming,
Got me here.
Why it’s gotten harder,
I don’t know.
The truth is my own heart I fear…
The more I control it,
The more I want to let it go.

By preemptive I mean this was the first thing I submitted, and I was unaware of said photo 'rule'

Just commenting on my own work, my note was preemptive.
This was the first poem I wrote in 2020 when I decided to pick it up again. It also bothers me when poems don't have a photo attached, but I don't have the time to add said photos on myself. I apologize for being a hypocrite.
