Losing a day, losing a night
Sick of letting
the sick,
Take the stage.
This week was hard.
This week was wonderful.
I was completely lost and hurt.
I was found and surrounded by love.
I acknowledged I might never act again.
I acknowledged I might be a writer.
I accepted there’s so much I can’t do, and that computer tech will give me a panic attack.
I accepted help when it was offered and it made my world better.
I was a really lousy mom.
I was a much less lousy mom.
I was scared.
I was brave.
I was sick.
I was better.
I was sick again.
I’m ready to publish a novel.
I’m ready. To publish. A novel.
I’m petrified.
I’m excited.
I’m working on the next thing.
I’m working.
At being.
Not sick of,
Better than.
