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.

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.

Just commenting on my own work, my note was preemptive.
