Independence
I was dependent for a time
Perhaps too long for the need to get unused to
An old for the new left behind
What I know now to have wished I knew
I was trying to be dependent
Trying to rely on everyone and everything
And only to become independent
Because there is no one and there is nothing
And it wasn’t a short road to have walked
Am I lucky enough to realise how long I was stuck?
A kind of life living for whence life caught
To only become so hard for humanities to accept my part
As naturally as I flow and lived
I am who I become independently
There are no more needs for belief
To finally believe who I am... individually
I was dependent for a time
Long perhaps yet perhaps a need to
The old for anew to find
What I know now... I no longer need be real
