I don't plan on lending my lantern to anyone or illuminating a | Every Day Poems

I don't plan on lending my lantern to anyone or illuminating anyone. Because to be honest, I am still in the dark. I will center my world first, put other people's sighs out of my ears, and accept only what is necessary. I have to be able to care for myself first.

If you're on a street somewhere with green trees and white flowers and you see me staring with blank eyes, then don't even try to say hello. Just let me stand there or if you do care, then wait for me to come back. Yes, my soul will certainly return.
