It Was Nothing
The strength
was nothing
next to power
needing
not meaningless
validation
in seeking the
inane
as you are
forgotten
you don't deserve me
my solitude is simple
complications
only in forgiveness
but perfectly pale
I am inspired
by the tragically
imperfect
I am the scars on my side
I am
my intuitions
progressing towards
aggression
anger
not internalized
is intellect
acceptance is its own admission
of your under
appreciation
the affections
are nothing
next to presence
of being
growth
I am led to mine
and you are full.
Anna Malagrida
