I'll be Patient by Shadowlady
Perhaps there was a moment when I would have felt anything at their pathetic attempts to mask their emotions. A heartbeat of time when I would have responded to them. Now, I feel nothing. There’s a hole, a void, within me that I can’t fill. I don’t even try.


The only one who could help is gone. Driven off by the disapproval that surrounded us. So I’ll pretend I don’t see their glances laced with pity or hear their speculative whispers. I’ll ignore their attempts to include me, to embrace me into their fold.


Time has no meaning to me. I’m locked within this prison like a thief. Trapped by their prejudices, their fears. For now. Soon, I’ll leave. I’ll escape the weight of their doubts. I can feel it, feel the edges of the raw wound around my heart healing.

So I’ll wait. I’ll be patient and quiet. Let them have their rose colored lies. Me. I know the truth. You can’t live as I have as we have and not know. Yes, I’ll be patient, be kind, because soon I’ll escape their prison and be free to follow the one who heals me.
