There was a time
when I was inclined
to become entwined
and entangled in
your emotions

Your feelings
would coerce
and immerse me
in emotions
I couldn’t control

But long in coming
at long last learned
That you choose
your emotion
of each and
every moment

I can listen
I can give you
my love
and truth

But you can’t
have my peace
of heart and mind
anymore

Life is too short
I’ve grown too old
to be anything
but me
anymore

Can't blame you. As they say, go girl.

Bravo!

Reclaiming oneself takes a lot of courage.

It's not just a 'two-way' street out there, it's a boulevard. If that's not respected, then we break out the quill and write our own 'Rules of the Road'.

Yes, well I don't need to "go" any further than inside my own skin. That is a trip in and of itself! LOL

I hear you. There is a lot of truth in what you say.

Thankfully, age seems to give us back ourselves.

I'm finding age does give back some things as it takes away others.
