Daily Words Are Doing Me Good

I have a life

It’s not a bad life;

Though it could be better.

I love where I live

I love the mountains

I only wish I could get out of the house more than I do

I want to learn about narrative medicine and be a social worker

And help make lives just a little better by being here–even my own.

I would find a community of friends who would know me and support me

Both online and in person.

I would find a spiritual community to help heal edges torn long ago, too long ago to remember.

I would be in charge of my life again–not just the limitations.

I wouldn’t feel so alone, even when I’m not, because I’d be with people who understand.

 

 

Incremental

Friend

I wait

And wonder if

You will be part

Of the life I live

Are you gone for good now?

I only wanted to make things right

How can I ever make things right alone?

It would be so easy. But somehow it’s not.

Instead of calling or texting, we both sit in silence.
