and finally i understand
after two years worth of living
why you left
i called you selfish
called you crude
called you names i always refused
to say out loud
but i understand now
i understand
you left me when i needed you most
because what i needed from you most was to be let go
so i could grow
so when i found the boy who loves me next, i’d be happy
i’d be free
but most importantly, i’d know when to leave
so thank you,
for teaching me
for knowing you were my stepping stone before i did
because i finally understand
after two years worth of living
and one year worth of loving
that i’m one too.

As it says in my tagline: I'm just a writer writing about love because that's what all the cool kids are falling into these days. However, the type of love I write about is based more on the likeliness of modern day heartbreak. I originally started this blog as an outlet for therapy. I believe writing soothes the mind and allows us to express our feelings, which is exactly what I do here -- but in the form of poetry and spoken word pieces. I began writing in 2016 and I like to think the content I put out is relatable and hard-hitting since there's nothing new under the sun. You'll come to find I struggle a lot but without struggles, there is no growth, and believe me, I am growing.
Slowly, I am working towards publishing my own works. Gallimaufry (one of the categories here on my blog) is one of them. I'm also in the process of writing, "war & peace", "where two hearts unify as one", & "i sold my heart to buy yours".
Until then, feel free to linger around and read a few of my pieces; if you like what you see, be sure to hit the follow button at the bottom of my page to keep up with my posts and like & comment as you wish!
Other than that, thank you for reading my About Me page!
I'll be seeing you,
B.K. Laurel
