Looking Up (Poem)

You tried to manipulate me

Once more, for old times’ sake

You didn’t pause

To read the room

Nothing for it but to walk away


My community of selves

Struggled to reach agreement

But it emerged you were the darkness

I had to do without


The consensus was we mattered more 

Than you knew how to give us credit for

Self-love is a full-time job

And now life is looking up
