A Poem by I Am Svetlana

I didn’t want to be like this anymore.
So cold, so closed off.
I wanted to just be myself.

Never asked for anyone’s help.
That was everything I feared.
I knew things weren’t going to be perfect.
But at least I could’ve tried to put in
Some sort of effort.

Either way,
No matter what I tried
Nothing worked.
I couldn’t bring myself to open up to the world.
Accept or cherish it.

This was me
And I had to deal with it.

the simple, direct style with which you poured out your sadness makes it ring and resonate. The walls we build to protect ourselves become a prison, and we chafe at those bonds.

But maybe...not forever.
