Unshared Poem (March 2nd) by Samantha Romanchuk
Take me out of the game.
We both want the same.
Right now I’m floating in space.
Let’s end this chase.
With me you’re so gentle
Together life feels whole
I see your hidden soul
We work toward the same goals
I don’t want to lose you,
I want to move you.
Uncover our truths.
I love to pursue you.
I get so much excitement.
I get lost in the moment.
All the joy I get from it
But we should discuss it.
You’re so special, I’m fearful
that I’ll be a bull
Breaking the glass bowls
losing control
I won’t follow those fears
I’ve had anxiety for years
And sometimes it steers
when my mind isn’t clear.
You’re presence feels like home.
I'm making it known.
It’s been shown
By how much we’ve grown.
You’re a bit afraid of constraint
Of hard expectations
But I’ll give you space
And full appreciation
Be who you want to be
take space, and feel free.
I want you to follow your dreams
Whatever you need.
I’ll be right here
So let go of fear.
Talk to me I’ll hear you.
I’ll cheer you on.
Love is openness.
Together we can always rest.
We can meditate on death.
And pass time’s test.
I’ll never feel love-less
For as long as we exist.
Big Ego by Samantha Romanchuk
Left and right
You’re always right.
Frequently you’re missing out
Because you’re so full of doubt.
Too sure to listen
For me, the opportunities glisten.
The light blinds you
Doing everything it can to find you.
ALWAYS what if this, what if that
Then you let it fall through the cracks,
You do it for protection.
It leads you to the “safe” direction.
But friend, there’s so much you’re missing
I want you to see a little different.
The mechanism working in you
Might have done something good in the past,
But since then your life changed and grew.
Now it’s only holding you back.
I’m waiting for you to let go.
It’s time to close the door.
Talk to your ego. Let it know,
It did a great job before.
But since then things have changed.
Ego, You want me to keep holding on
Now you only limit my range
There’s so much more to see beyond.
And slowly ego will be lessened.
Each new experience, a valuable lesson.
I love every mechanism working in you,
they each have a function.
But now I think it’s better to
Let go and go a new direction.
