I live my life through the words I write
Bring your focus to one thing, one task.
Put the phone down,
turn off the TV,
find peace in the silence.
Place a pen upon a sheet of paper
and write.
Write until your eyes see clearly.
Write until your head stops spinning.
Write until your chest relaxes.
Write for as long as you need.
I need you
more than you likely know
and more than I likely say out loud.
Listen to her whispers.
They come from deep within
telling you what you already know,
reminding you of what you need
reminding you of what you’re meant to do
and nudging you forwards,
towards them.
Listen to her whispers
follow them
before they become screams.
We can pretend
to act out of primal need,
let our bodies lead us
where we’re meant to go,
we can pretend
we’re living a different life.
We can pretend
until we can’t anymore.
