Strong Without You

Being without you makes me strong
I wake up, and am submerged
With non toxic words
I laugh
As I look at the mirror
And see a normal person
With no chaos crowded about
Only a smile and adjustable problems
I go outside
Away from clean dry surfaces
I feel invited by the tree tops
To spread myself thinly
And twist forever in time
Unless
You come back to me
Wearing bad dreams and a wreck of change
I will do my best
To stand strong for my sweet setting
Forever without you
I will stand strong
