I’ve Been Known – Scribbles in my notebook from August 17, 2024

(In my continued discarding of all things I'm tossing my notebook that contains scribbles from long ago to now - some were turned into finished products, some just sit as - scribbles.)

On this particular day there was a theme it seems - the same ideas worked and re-worked..

***

I’ve been known to slam doors

so hard the world shook.

To burn bridges

And toast marshmallows in the flames

With no regrets.

***

I’ve been known to not

forgive, forget.

The burden of your harm sits

on your soul

not mine.

***

I’ve been known to lie awake

wandering through my past

Not to relive it but to learn

Not let it go but to nod

at my resilience.

***

I’ve been known to not let go,

Tho doors were slammed and bridges burned

The reasons why are lessons learned.

***

I’ve been known to let it go

Bridges burned, doors were slammed

The reasons why were lessons learned

I’ve walked away with no regret.

***

I’ve been known to love too much

too deep, too long.
