The Art Poem by Sandra Chinonye Vivian Nwadi

Always
Or
Sometimes,
The greatest act of love is to walk away,
So that the other person can find their true self;
If it can be found
And direction
If they choose to follow.
Most especially
When you are the only one fighting for the love
Of a lover
Or friendship of any type to stay and yet,
They want nothing more than to be freed.
To be freed of you.

You must never fight alone.
Be sure they fight with you.

You must learn the art of giving up-
For 'do not give up' is a cliché
that works not for all reasons!
You must master the art;
The art of
drawing the line with
an invisible pencil
and burning the bridges
with an unseen flame.

These you must or
learn to live with
Leaving yourself behind
Rather than living and standing apart.
Rather than, settling more for less.

So,
Walk, free and be freed.
Live. Live and let live.
Shine. Stand and shine tall.

Forever.
