just write through
the pain and
the loss and
the lost feelings and
the sleepiness and
the exhaustion and
the boredom and
the mundanity and
the distractions and
the battles and
the fight and
when the fight leaves us
for an hour or a day or a year
or so
we can write ourselves
back into the fight
if it means enough to us
[and yes, it means enough
to me]
ignore the shoulds
the have-tos
the obligations
the following of the rules
even the suggestions set out by those not within you
you know your brain
(though sometimes it may not feel like it)
you know your heart
(though you used to ignore it)
you know the gut feelings and the the things that feel right in your
soul,
so
just follow
those
(even if they don’t make much sense in the
present
tense)
