A New Framework

It begins with being willing

To call it like it is~

Whatever that might be.

If I can say it, then maybe I can see it.

When I see it like it is,

Maybe, just maybe,

I can move it around in my heart

And see something new.,

Feel something new.

I thought it was about this….

Maybe

There

Is something else

that can be said.

I let the feelings rise and fall

Like the sea, remembering

All the gentle mantras

That help me breathe when

Whatever it is

hurts

Like a boa constrictor

Cutting

off

my

 air supply.

A breath in, a breath out,

I survive

Whatever it is

 by breathing,

By being willing to see what it is,

By calling it by name.

Sometimes tears wash

Some of the debris away.

Sometimes

I just have to keep moving,

Finding meaning

In my determined hands~

Tasks

Or my mind’s hope

For distraction.

The thing is ,

you don’t need to know

What shape my pain takes

In order

To send love

My way.

I feel better

Just

Knowing

that

You care.
