Evader

Hi guys,

I'm making my grand entrance into 2019 with this next one, it's called Evader.

If I had an explanation of a scenario for which this poem applies, I would share it with you. The essence of it stems from many times I've experienced in the past.. but finding one to share with my readers was difficult.

I guess we all go through things in life that we never share, but I've noticed it sometimes helps to at least understand the mind-frame, vibe, emotional state or environment the people around us have found themselves in before. I feel it helps to understand their soul, ahead of their human cloak.

Anyway, since you last heard from me, I have visited the trenches of my mind various times. I dressed in armour, brought my guns and ammunition and hid it out for a bit. But no one shot first, and then no one retaliated. So I stood up, shouted out and the echo was horrifying.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I'm my own worst enemy and I've been attacking myself for years. What's I'm taking from this, and from all the scenarios on which this poem could be placed, is to hold on. Put in the effort, the love, the trust, the support, the gratitude, and do your part. Because at the end of the day, if it's not enough, it's not because you're not enough.

Because you are enough ❤️

Evader

If you feel the need to push
Who am I to stand in your way?
Who am I to throw notions to your mind,
Skip solemnly in your path?

If you need to sit still in isolation
Who am I to intrude?
Who am I to invade and question?
To accompany you?

If you want to move forward
Who am I to protest?
Who am I to hold you back?
To keep you in the present where you're trapped?

If you care no more
Who am I to cry?
Who am I to be broken?
To love every piece of you?
