Solution

By Katie Pope

By Katie PopePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

“Solution”

I’m not the solution to

the loneliness you feel,

nor am I the solution,

to the shame and anger inside of you.

Just to let you know it is okay,

to feel the sadness and pain in you.

I will leave you cold,

and can not be undone.

I don’t take the pain away,

like you think,

I just move from you to,

your closest love one.

I limit you and eliminate,

Any hope of things to come.

I limit any hope of things,

getting better for you.

I am a permanent solution,

To a temporary problem.

I am selfish and cold,

Praying you choose me,

Over living life.

A life that can be,

So free and fun,

If you choose to live that life.
