Diana Darby ** "I V" ** Intravenous

Out of The Rabbit Hole

Sixteen years ago I ran away and hid.
I jumped so deep into the rabbit hole I forgot where and who I was.
I threw myself away and believed my circumstances.
Now I want to befriend those who hurt me,
because the poison I have been swallowing is only poisoning me.
I thought if I ran far enough away I could escape.
I rejected the parts of myself that had been rejected
and made myself half of who I was.
I let myself be small
and invisible
so I couldn’t be seen.
Now there is no time to hide.
There is only time to forgive
and become.
I've lived in the rabbit hole
long enough.
