W(a)nder

I w a l k
Through life
Not knowing
Questioning everything
My life
My love
My thoughts, ideas, feelings
Your motives
Your looks
Your questions

I watch
e v e r y t h i n g
The trees
The bees
The birds
My words
Your eyes
Your lies
Your lips

I hear
the tone of your voice when you ask if i'm okay
the music playing softly in the background of my day
the engine of his car revving as he drove away
the condescending voice in my head as i try to hide the pain

I feel
empowered
alive
wise
and
free

I feel
like
me
