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

Rapping a Joelle rhyme there. So cute. Grabbing life by the horns. It is about time. Go get em.
Holy Lord you even rhymed your name, what an amazing surprise finish. This is beautiful. And here's your pace again (as mentioned on your moth/butterfly piece). Profound and striking. Inspiring. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us. I would say 'i'm sorry' for the path you have had to walk... but from the sound of this piece, it would seem you have found a fair amount of light in the storm... and are gaining the strength you need for something. Our world can't wait to see what that is.
Nicely done. And your name fitting it with the rhyme was a nice touch at the end.
