Dear my Life,

•

I’m doing better

I wrote it down and sent a letter

•

Hoping it’ll get to you

Praying that the call goes through

•

It’s been seven years of down and out.

I still don’t know what it was about

•

But I know I’m here now, and I’m fine

Breathe in. Breathe out. All things in time

•

Do you hear me when I call to you?

•

Do you watch when I sit, and wait for you?

•

The truth is, Life, I’m done with waiting

It’s been more than a bit frustrating

•

And my blood is raging in my skin

To bring forth all that stirs within

•

And to drink fresh water from your well.

•

I know you hear me.

•

Sincerely,

Joelle
