they don’t tell you that it gets harder
when you decide now is the time
to dig, and dig deep.
-
to be prepared for the tears
and sleepless nights to continue
and grow more frequent.
-
you start so things will get better
calmer, make room for forgiveness
experience gratitude for the journey
but.
-
they should tell you that old scripts
are etched in bone and completing the words
is a habit that’s as comfortable as it is distasteful.
-
they should tell you that new looks
uncover old truths that you’ve not dared to see
now; make room for them as you reorder your reflection.
-
they should tell you
it takes time
don’t stop
