Poem: No Longer Needed

That sinking realization
when you understand
that they don't need you anymore
They're outgrown you
they can survive
without you
When it is so gradual
that it sneaks up on you
but the inevitable gut punch
is that while you become aware
they still act the same
but their actions confirm it
every hour or every day.
