Be Patient With Me

Be patient with me

While I grieve

And as I ease

Into a newfound sense of self

While simultaneously mourning the death

of what I thought something could be

Be patient with me

My world as I have known it is ceasing to exist

And at this moment I must resist

Believing that I can save my old life

I am not Ezekiel

And these dry bones will not rise

So be patient with me

Because letting go is pain

And pain is no one's friend

But everything I have to gain

Is depending on my ability to let this life end

So be patient with me while I grieve

And as I ease

Into a newfound sense of self
