Mother, may I Write You a letter in case I get shot?
I want you to read this After your shock
or beforeYou ring the gong.
Mother, may I write You a letter in case I get shot?
I didn't mean for it to happen.
I was following your directions.
I always think my mama told me to get home.
But in case I don't, may I write the ending
of This plot?
I know I'm just beginning but
Knowing the ending means
Building a middle with NO REGRETS.
So I ask Mother may I write you a letter?

Dear Mother
Dear Mother What can I do for you? How do I help your heart rest easy when I go outside? How do I reassure you I won't go missing tonight? I can't keep a promise when others restrict me in unforeseen ways, but do you know what keeps me clean in those moments?

Gratitude For Life
The last time I laughed so hard that my belly hurt was ___________ Rupi Kaur's Gratitude Writing Prompts When I was 24 and going to a women's support group we would laugh, I would go home with a sore face and sore sides. Why? I wasn't used to smiling or laughing. After a few months of doing that, I never have a sore face, sides, or belly from laughing as I laugh enough.
