Time goes by slowly now
It's such a long way back
Trying to build my life
From the bottom up
Friends offer words of
Encouragement
Advice
Hope
It does keep me from going over the edge
But it has no actual effect on reality
And if I stay clear enough
For long enough
I will be able to do it on my own
Like I have so many times before
My dilemma is not that I will
Never be able to again
Or that I cannot do it on my own
The dilemma is
Now that I found him
I no longer want to do it alone
There isn't enough space
To express what it felt like
To be with someone so in sync
To have someone who could practically
Read my mind
I wish I had been ready
I wish I had been stronger
I wish I had my partner back

OF MOTHERHOOD.
Dear mother-to-be, I wanted to let you know how very, very special I think you are. I don't think there can be any job that is more meaningful than the one you are about to begin, that of being a mom. You are the most important person in the world to your precious unborn baby, and you will be for many years.
