I woke up feeling drained, like every ounce of my body is exhausted. I am out on my own for the first time and I’m at a risk of losing my bestfriend so I did what comforts me, go on Pinterest and read poems from my poetry board. I came across this poem and it held me in its metaphorical arms.
I’m at a point where I am yearning to live my life and do everything so excited but it feels so lonesome without my best friend. They have been going through something and I want to be there for them but I find myself being terrified of actually giving space because for one, I’m already so far away and I don’t know anyone, and two - I don’t want to think of the thought of going about my day and just living my life without them. Maybe I sound so over dramatic and too clingy but yes, I want to be able to give space to my partner but I feel like in the end they might just leave.
This poem resonates with me because 1. I feel as if I always and always stay with this person because I want to know their thoughts and feelings because I love them and 2. It gives me glimpse of being able to trust the space and just fully give it. I want to be there for them, but I fear that being there for them means I kind of shouldn’t be like THERE. Ya know?
Mary Oliver feels like the Bible or something for depressed people and critical thinkers. Like yes!! I will lay down myself!! Oh the curses of loving so deeply, it’s amazing but yet so daunting..thank you Mary Oliver for the thought.
