So today is the 12th day of NAPoWriMo 2020! I said i would write a poem each day for the moth of April….and I missed the last couple days. So I decided I could keep beating myself up and call myself a failure and just give it up OR I could play catch up…which is what I’m going to do! So here is my poem for day 10:

“I’m okay,” I say to you
as much as to myself
and neither of us believes it
as my voice is rough from tears
but “you’re alive and that’s a good thing” is your gentle reassurance
and that will have to do for now
things have been better
but boy have they been worse
things are different or is it me who is different?
either way we always get through it somehow

who was it that said, “the more things change the more they stay the same?”

Your poems reach many people. Your voice is steady and strong, just like you are. You’re tough and you can’t let the bastards get you down. You write your truth and no one can ask for more than that. ❤
Thank you, though I’m not so sure about that.
