What am I afraid of?
I asked this question before,
and it is a lack of love.
Freer with the pen,
I begin to understand
that not much goes as planned,
but for this reason,
I sabotage myself,
again.
What if I am as successful
as I want to be?
What if I can move
as freely as my body
pleads to me?
I am done noticing,
because I scream knowing
that I am scared
and this is the reason,
I go back to too much.
Too much sugar,
food, spending,
and anything else lending
a helping hand
to making me unchanged.
So, maybe this is the time I type,
pick up my head,
and tell myself I have had too much,
since this is not enough.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Omggg, this was so relatable! Hope you're doing okay. Loved your poem!
First of all, stay out of my head. Second, I really like this and I think that you have hit on things in my life that I have tried to ignore.
