No Power In The Verse Can Stop Me NaPoWriMo 2025

I love cooking, now that I have my own safe space 
And someone who’ll eat my experiments and not make a horrid face 
I need time, quite often, to switch my mask completely off 
And the people who love me get that, without making any fuss 
I should’ve cut my hair short a long time ago 
I do not need to read every single doom-laden article in order to be whole 
I cannot keep expecting things of those who’ve shown me who they are
Your family is who you choose 
And they’re bloody superstars
Turns out, I actually like cucumber
And I’m pretty keen on prawns 
And part of me now sometimes weirdly enjoys 
Getting up at the crack of dawn 
These are all just the beginning  
Of things I’m learning about myself 
I still don’t know what I’m doing
But neither does anyone else
