It’s that thing that keeps tapping my shoulder 

and I swore I wouldn’t live in regret.

It’s that damn replayed conversation and I tried to 

erase it;

it wants to eat me alive.

I swore I wouldn’t live in regret 

but each hint of disrespect makes it resurface.

I promised my kids that I would stay steady

now that I know what my worth is.


Thank you for reading.
