Unintended Omission

It’s lonely

Buried deep beneath these thoughts

This longing to belong

To be loved and accepted

As if I had always been involved

Vacant of the need to know what it would be like

Not to fight for remembrance

Pretending the void doesn’t matter

As it breaks me from my core

Stripping my confidence and assurance

That I am not the outsider

The after thought

The only lonely child

Left behind by blood

To be embraced by those with no obligation

I place no blame

Nor expect much else

For these are my demons

My struggles

My fight

Unintended omissions

Do not equal the lack of love

Or exclusion

But rather the blessing of perspective

As one in this position

Find themselves loved by choice

Not just necessity

And for that I am more than thankful

What Would it Feel Like to Have All You’ve Ever Wanted?

I stood there starring through the glass as I felt his arms wrap slowly around my waist

Gazing out upon this life we built together

This was the moment I had waited for all my life

This is when I knew I truly had all I’ve ever wanted
