The Chase [poem]

10:08 AM Kaitlyn 0 Comments



I've been chasing their approval
Though it's not for me to take
Still, it's ever in my mind-
Will my deed they appreciate?
I look up at my mirror
I squint, then shake my head
That woman I see
Longs to dance freely
Yet she binds herself
And hides the key

Day by day she wonders
When she will learn to just let go
It's easy to preach
Easier to condemn
But no amount of inner lectures
Can give success to her attempts

I've realized just this week
I've been chasing their approval
And how trying to hold on
Is poison to my survival
I look up at my mirror
Inhale deep
Smile
See-
A woman who is flying free
With only moments of cold feet
She is learning to let go
To breathe and exhale peace
She has found the key to success-
Let her approval only
Be from her King
