for it is what it is
my most comfortable pair of shoes ever
to study at the dining table by the window
two birds sitting on a wire
the always entertaining trees
that i can count on them to be there everyday doing their thing
that when i miss lolo i can watch her silly video made just for moi
for tummy aches
and heart aches
for my biceps. BAM!
a blister on my foot the size of china. double BAM.
to be proud of it cuz i enjoy dancing again. thank you thank thank you.
for the A i didn't get on my spanish test
the $120 haircut i can't afford and had to cancel
the responses i haven't received for the jobs i applied for
the friend i didn't know was incapable of letting go of her pride
trusting that rejection is god's protection
for all that i do get
tickets to celine dion in vegas
a community of love and fun
to wake up every morning sober
minty fresh painted nails
hello and goodby kisses on the cheek
her beautifully crooked lips
topless sunbathing on the roof
big bright colored mexican blankets to nap on
another great book in the mail
for online window shopping
that Kelly has time off now and a new baby to ooh and ahh at
for how tiny he feels in my arms
the little corners of his mouth turning up
to learn so much from my sponsees
that as i fit into my own skin, honesty becomes the only option left
to discover that what we don't talk about only tears us apart
and showing all of our parts, warts and all, makes us closer
for the power pep talk from my sponsor
to get a running start and leap from the cliff with everything i got
falling
falling
falling
not knowing if god will give me wings
but taking in the view anyway
weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
