maybe it’s me

maybe it’s not you.
maybe it’s everyone else.
or maybe…
it’s me.

the one always called
too emotional,
too cold.

so maybe what i need
is a plant
growing slower than my thoughts,
a cycle
moving forward when i cannot,
a lego set
to build,
to break,
to begin again.

and maybe then
anger
will finally
leave me alone.
