13. Going Through Some Things
(for G.F.)
the things that keep us up
at night are the things
that teach us truth
am I resisting what it feels
like to be me by rejecting
the pain? by trying
to outrun myself?
the difficult answer
is yes
& every escape route
is blocked for the most
important reason
that I must learn
these hard things
in this moment
that my eyes
are open right now
so I can see

Some nights I’m suddenly struck with a crystal clear realisation about something in my life that’s not working or no longer needed or that I need to change. But often I soften when dawn comes and I forget. Thanks for the reminder.

Aww you’re welcome. I usually scramble for a pen in those moments, but when I wake up I have to try to decipher what the heck I was thinking about. I’m thinking a lot lately about being okay with me no matter what state I’m in each day. I forget sometimes and fall into frustration, but as soon as I can get quiet again, I’m alright.
