What Leaving Taught Me
Leaving didn’t make me weak,
it taught me what I need to seek.
It showed me where I overgave,
and how I built my own small cave.
I learned that love should not erase,
or make you lose your steady place.
It should not cost your inner peace,
or ask your soul to never cease.
So now I know what I won’t bend—
what leaves me, I won’t chase again.
