Elexis Johnson
Running around in circles
For 9 months
Walking lighty
Walking away
Telling myself they dont mean it
Which hoping
they would stay
Truth needs to be patient
It waits
Sharpen itself
In darkness
When it finally fit
It didn't whisper
It came like lighting striking a tree
Fast, blinding,
Hard to ignore
Now everything made sense
Their distance
They're excuses
The way they made me feel small
To fit inside a life
That wasn't for me
The truth didn't break me
But freeing me
Giving me thee key
For doors i was afraid
To open
When i saw it clearly
It was hard to unsee
