Validation - Sabine Vekemans

I need validation
for showing up
for my presence
as a human being

Acknowledgment
of my brilliant self
carved out within
this time frame

For I am
not alone
I came here
on a mission

With another soul
that checked out
sooner than
anticipated

It left me
shattered
and heartbroken
in this experiment

I’m just
learning to piece
my heart together
to become whole again
