The Depression of Leaving and the Empowerment of Left
August 13, 2021
You left me.
and now,
Your moon is not the same as my moon. 🌙
I side with you
when all your stars are gone
and your sky is empty.
Bang!
A cloud collapses
and its hot, hot center time lapses
A star is born 💫
Your new sky awaits. ✨
You leave me again.
I will not cry.
I will not cry.
I do not cry. 🚫
But you do.
I pretend it's the cloud dust and leave.

Hi! I'm Tria. I wrote this when I was 13 when my best friend and I were going through a rough patch. I realized that I was giving more into the relationship than I was getting back and deserved self-respect. This poem is a story, but more so it's a message of empowerment. Sometimes the choice is harder than the act. You just have to admit to yourself that deep down, you know the answer.
