Patience

You came to surprise me and perhaps many
You said that you aren't always welcomed, not voluntarily at least
You are present in mom's presence, grandma's actions and words
I remember seeing you a lot when I was younger

You dont feel at home at my workplace
Many see you as a lack of drive / intelligence
When really, all you see is aspiration
You are shy too, of telling the world of your character

You have crawled yourself back into my life somehow
Pushing boundaries so much farther out than I could never even imagine
I struggle with you sometimes, I long and desire and I wish I didnt have to deal with you
But you have seemed to bring out the strength I never knew I have

I find you are befriending freedom
Maybe you two have been friends for decades
It takes me to stand from a different perspective to see you two together
A small spot where I could uncover the blind spot from ur hiding corner

I know you are here to stay
That your visit is not a test but my learnings to see you with fresh perspective
You have come to be a part of my home
So I pray you find a spacious room in me, plant your seedlings and stay with me
