I resign from myself
It’s been overdue.
I envelope it now
I stand by my truth.
I’ve searched all around
Places, people, souls.
I’ve looked into depths
That wouldn’t keep me whole.
My question-filled quest
Began early, I know.
It began when I realised
I had nowhere to go.
I’ve searched, pried and delved
I’ve done all that I could.
I’ve looked inwards too
I’ve done all that I should.
And it is with peaceful resilience
That I now myself resign.
I can’t search any further
I’ll remain with what is mine.
I’ll trudge paths no longer,
Asking questions vain.
I’ll stay here where I am
And just endure the pain.
