this year I will

Re­mem­ber who I am
For­get who I was
Write a new story
Edit all the old ones
Push gentler
Breathe deeper
Nur­ture wholeness
Ex­tend for­give­ness to every piece
and peace to every forgiveness
Love me like I love you
Re­mem­ber that un­grace­ful is not disgraceful
and hon­esty isn’t al­ways drawn with clean lines
Make my shad­ow din­ner more
Be afraid to wan­der less
Pack lighter and buy more souvenirs
Hold peo­ple tighter for longer
Be­lieve that shit about myself
Stop be­liev­ing that shit about myself
Un­der­stand that I don’t always
Dance more be­cause of it
Make the bul­lets dodge me
Lean into the im­pos­si­ble with my full weight
Cry that shit out when I need to and
Keep going.
