Saving Grace

Loneliness can drive a person to settle for less than what they believe.

Should I wait another life’s time – and possibly more – for you to recognize me?

Extreme frustration and railing at the waste makes me want to pound a tree.

Having been with people who did not appreciate my worth – at least now I can learn to shrug off that baggage.

But I ache to know what we can be if we brave shrugging off ego’s insanity.
