A Change in Atmosphere

You haven’t been home in 24 hours and there’s a definite shift

The air is lighter

I can now relax without being eavesdropped on

I don’t have to walk on eggshells

I don’t have to worry about you keeping a watchful eye on me

I can be free to do what I want without any repercussions

It may only be temporary, but the change is refreshing

And a well needed reminder that YOU’RE the problem, NOT me

It’s amazing how things change for the better when you’re not around
