Some goodbyes are harder than others
a saddened look and tight embrace will not suffice
words expressed are mere silhouettes of my condolences
but I am glad you left
No longer a feeling of insufficiency
I know I deserve the world
To the part of me that said I was undeserving
thank you for your lessons but you were not supposed to be the one to teach them to me
To my mind
I apologize for letting an unwelcome guest stay past their lease
we’ve lost something we did not need
A tenant that was brave and persistent
lived off insecurity checks and loud mouth discounts
paid in cheap insults and was never late with its monthly
“this is what you deserve” bills
For that, I am learning how to be punctual
To the part of me that said I was undeserving
you will never be forgotten
your absence makes room for better and bigger memories
but yours will be stored away for inspiration
For that, A toast to your eviction
