Note: This poem varies greatly from my usual style, but it is a necessary purge. I cannot warm up to it, but it will have to do until the feelings (expressed in the poem) have passed.

I’ve forgotten it now
It’s been years, and it still feels like “too soon”
I can live
I can breathe
I can see
Again
Or rather, for the first time
And I’m happy
Truly happy
For the first time
In a long time
And I’ve won
But I feel as though I’ve lost
The most precious part (of me)
That all my yearnings and desires were a part of me
Not apart of me
And that those bitter longings
Made me happy
In their own way
And now I’m free of them
Free again
And I just want to be chained
