someday
I'll be able to tune out the sound of my voice
to turn a blind eye
to sit comfortably in silence
to no longer argue
with the weight of words
with the length of time
someday
I'll be able to safely say
I just stopped caring
and rest easy without
the burden of feeling
wrapped safely in
parts of myself
left pure
and ignorant
someday
I'll no longer have to
justify myself
to my self
for someone else's benefit
someday
I'll stop
and be
the roses
