because you come from a
place of no power
but its more likely
to be
that you don't know your power
that your earliest experiences
were not ones
of acknowledgement
and somehow you always
return to that self doubt
it swelled and took over the building
no amount of scrubbing by way of
new friends and freshly validated opinions
changes it
only in solitude does value exist
as soon as you leave the house
you walk back into the nightmare
