Change Without Complaint

By Abyssia

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Dis-proportioned philosophies blur - What is it about you That grounds me? I used to think myself enlightened; Now I know I am just a dreamer. Normalcy has never been my gig - But something about you Makes it so appealing. My erratic quest for distinction Has come to an abrupt end. Patience has never been A virtue that I possess. But you instill in me a calm That would allow me to wait For days on end. Femininity was never a friend of mine - But your strength Makes me doubt That I could ever again be Any less of a woman than I am now. Confusion taints the edges As reality sinks in. What I thought to be me, Never really was... Not that I'm complaining. The more I change, The more I remain the same. This distorted version of me Has made me more myself Than I have ever been.
