I am
me.
I love deeply and for eternity.
Places, dates, songs, and pictures release memories that
repeat themselves in my mind.
I remember details and feel revisit emotions
as vividly as when they first happened.
I wear my heart on my sleeve.
When I hurt,
it takes me a very long time to heal and let go.
When I cry,
the tears are gut-wrenchingly deep,
as if I am crying tears for the world—
past, present, and future.
I am gracious–
But not so gracious with myself.
I despise those things that make me me
and thrust contemptuous impatience onto my soul
for the winding journey to peace through grief
that I know progresses as its own pace.
I am:
Me.
I am:
Trying.
And one day soon,
Peaceful,
Non-perfect,
Acceptance…
It will be so.
