You woke up in sadness.
You woke up in pain.
You woke up to shame, the blame, the bitter words untamed.
-
You woke up in silence.
Awakened from fear.
You woke up…. “You’re everything you’re not. Why are you here?”
-
You fell asleep in tears.
Dreamt inside the loss.
Falling asleep, your heart beat slowed, layering with frost.
-
You stayed awakened in madness,
You laid awake through rage,
Awake, you sifted moments, searching a single forgiving page.
-
You stayed here for your Mother.
Found strength for your Dad.
Staying for the people you love, everyone you will and have.
-
You should stay for you now.
You should stay here for your soul.
Stay for the little you inside, that was loved and full and whole.
-
Please choose now to love them,
Guide them from your minds dark space,
Leaving this life - no time cut short,
But aged, wrinkled, a smile on your face.

Writing a record for my inner child and the woman I am still learning to stand beside.
Not poetry for answers,
But poetry for breath,
For noticing,
And choosing to live from the inside out.
