back down

i tip my hat and back out gracefully.

transcended beyond a lesser me;
an incomplete version
of a lost little woman.
i've upgraded
and the air is thin here.

shoved aside, tucked away
ignored and still swallowed pride.
i let my ego stand aside.
though the hurt still flows
just as heavy
twisting through every bend of my mind and body
and I can't help but wonder,
when does this end?

i've given my heart.  i've given my soul.
i've dedicated, committed, promised, and cried.

perhaps this is my lesson
among the many other things
and for those who need it
i will always bend.
