I’m waiting,
scribbling these words
as cold fingers rake through my hair.
It’s time to go
but you haven’t completed me.
I’m not done, yet.

I’m fighting forces bigger than we are.
They’re bigger than physical energy.
They’re in my mind.


They live in every heart beat.
I’ve been searching for an off switch
but it’s been in vain.
I’m running towards the heat.
I’m running blind but not incomplete.

I won’t apologize, anymore.
I wont regret that I’m alive, anymore.
I won’t.
I don’t.

I’m here and fighting these forces
but realizing I’m not alone, now.

Freezing in my car,
I’m scribbling, creating my peace.
I’m finding my sunny disposition in the cold,
in the loudness in my head.

The cold is raking her fingers through my hair.
I’m broken and whole.
I’m putting pieces together
I didn’t realize were lost in the first place.

    Maybe the cracks were doors
    I was always meant to open.
    And the quiet is teaching me how.

    I hate it when my brain doesn’t turn “off” at night and all these thoughts keep swirling around in my mind, forcing me to overanalyze and overthink. But sometimes it’s all worth it when the pieces finally click and you just get it.

      Yes!!! It’s a very aggravating experience but when things fall together and we’re calmer, we wonder why we were getting in the first place. You’re right on the money, Linda. Thank you 😊
