Self-Sufficiency

Must I apologize for being too passionate? Must I beg for pardon for loving too much too quickly? Must I truly shade my face away For understanding the unfathomable? Why is it wrong for me to pride on the abstract; On the stars and the talk and what I can not see? Why must I be ashamed of my smallness in comparison to the grandeur around me? No, I simply must not. I must not apologize for handing away my love. I must not pretend ignorance in order to give you closure. I must not beg for forgiveness after tending to my own wounds, just because I didn't come running to you so you could fawn over my human vulnerability. I will not apologize for asking for help, Because I've hit rock bottom and I have learned my own limitations. I will be unapologetic as Effortlessly as it is to breathe. Maybe it is because I am enough and I know it. Maybe it is because I don't need you and I know it.
