To: Rejection, From: Me

Telling My Biggest Insecurity to Leave

By Manisha ImaniPublished 6 years ago 1 min read

We meet again

You met me on a good Friday

Right when I opened my eyes

You met me at my bedside

You met me at the gym

And I wanted to ask you

What brought you by again

I’ve learned from you

That every 60 seconds of anger you put me in

Was a happiness I couldn’t get back

You cost me too much of my peace

You’ve studied what destroys my mind

You’ve studied what makes me overthink

Because you know my thoughts paint my life

I know you appear through human forms

To gather words

Into invisible vibrations

To creep through my ears

To leak into my brain

But Today,

I take my mind and peace back

My inner peace is my new success

Today, I take back my joy

I take back respect

You’ve lived in my mind too long

I hope you’ve enjoyed your stay

Because of Today,

I’m going to have to ask for you to leave
