Notes About The Poem

wrote this one about peace, sunsets, and choosing myself. kinda soft, kinda happy.

the sunset wouldn’t let me leave

i didn’t mean to stay this long,
but peace like this just feels too strong.
the air was warm, the world stood still,
for once, my heart was mine to fill.

i used to chase what wouldn’t stay,
but found myself along the way.
the sunset’s glow, it made me see,
the calm i want is born in me.
