My Passport Away From YouA Poem by ABellaDonnaI found myself in a foreign land, all alone"and with me I carry my baggage of memories which is you. I closed my eyes and said to myself, I did not leave my home to escape from you but to find myself and get a new perspective. With every place I’ve been without thinking of you, I finally could breathe a little deeper and see more clearly. It could have been real, but circumstances didn’t allow us"I always knew that I allowed myself to get trapped in a relationship for all the wrong reasons because I refused to believe what they said"that your Angelic face was a shell. My Achilles’ heel was always giving everyone the benefit of the doubt. But you knew that I guess? Being away for a while restored my faith in the kindness of strangers and the beauty of the unknown. I got a taste of independence, although at times you would still cross my mind and it always hits me like a truck. The food, the art, the people reminded me of what I truly needed at the moment"that I didn’t need to be a fool to feed someone else’s ego, because I was on my own in a different world, suffice to say I can stand on my own. Maybe my dependence on you was just a phase because I needed someone to understand me, I just couldn’t let go when clearly I needed you more that you needed me. But it was okay, mistakes are inevitable for a broken person like me. I just realized that a new environment was the only catalyst for me to wake up from reality, that you were clearly a mistake"I can see it now. -A.B. © 2016 ABellaDonnaAuthor's Note
