I DIDN’T KNOW by Susan Byrne

Have you ever walked a path
And could not get off it
Then you might have been like me
And not know how to be
I didn’t know
I could be free
Of self hate
And committed to the concept of
Nothingness
With all my energy
I did not believe I could be
So I did not even try
And I lost what was me
Because I didn’t know
