Re-Adjustment Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

I’m sorry I left you.
I left myself too in a poem;
wrote all of me out in the lines.
Didn’t design it that way,
simply retreated back to my center
like I always do, when my world
becomes challenging; confusing.
It’s easy being in my mind,
it’s quiet and peaceful;
I can get my bearings,
a part of myself back in line.
Writing keeps me sane,
albeit distracted from the world.
I know I can’t stay in my head forever
So how do we fix this?
Now that you’re re-defining yourself,
I need to come out of myself long enough
to meet in the middle somewhere, like we used to.
I want my life to have you in it again
and you need to re-adjust to who I am now too.
