The Process

A Poem

I write my soul

To process things outside my control

Not everything felt is good

It may feel good

But some are just a welt

Even when it was pleasureful in the beginning

Sometimes the ending is just

Well, meh, in the end

Like a fox that has caught the hen

What do you do when you’ve reached the end

I suppose you pick up the pieces

And begin again

I write my soul

So the things I can’t control

Don’t take their toll

You have to open the levee

To not drown in all that is heavy
