Summary:

What it like having attachment issues/an attachment style

Notes:

Hi I'm back with more poetry/thoughts. I wrote this last week in my creative writing class and it was my favorite piece I've written. I will say I refer to myself as she/her, but that because I couldn't out myself in the class. I hope you love this piece as much as I do. I will say I did make a few people speechless when reading it in class, so...

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Attached

Why do I always end up getting attached?
Because in the end I get left or leave
It sucks because no one truly understands
If I could turn back time I would
To save that little girl who gets attached to feel that comfort and safety
Deep down there is this fragile broken girl
The people who were to take care of her let her down
So she went looking her whole life to feel that void
The void of the people that let her down
She tried filling that void with one person and it worked out for nearly 3 years
But she left for someone else
There has been one that stayed they came into her life after her biggest trauma, yet
But eventually that place of security will come to an end
She thought she found another group of people that she could find comfort in but…
After one mistake they left and only two stayed and 2 more joined
But she knows the cycle will continue
It always does
Until that void gets filled
The cycle will never stop
Unless, unless
She controls the cycle
She takes it power back
She will always be attached to things especially people, but she knows that she’ll break the curse that she never asked for
One day she will reach deep down and find the strength to break it
I know because she is me
