PROMPT — Who am I today?
When it happens
i no longer fight it
i let it do what it needs to
the cleverness i possessed is gone
replaced by a “what will be will be mentality”
she said it would be like this;
all heartache would come at once,
then leave me in a sedated state,
where tears are merely droplets that flow
healing has begun
acceptance too
yes, acceptance -
an admission that changes
everything but nothing
my solo, a dance
twirling towards tomorrow
