May I have a moment to rest my head on your lap, to let the storm inside me slowly settle?
A moment to simply breathe:
while your hands soothe the tension in my shoulders once more?
Let me smile through the tears…
tears that fall only so I can pause, gather myself,
and rise again.
My body curls in on itself from a pain I can’t name;
I am tired in ways words can’t hold.
I know life must be taken as it comes,
but still….
may I have this moment to regain my balance,
to find my way back into my own skin?
It feels as though my very flesh has loosened its grip on my bones and I wonder if I will ever feel like myself again.
I get upset over the smallest things,
but deep down I know, those moments are not me.
I want to laugh with you,
to cheer for you,
to be the person you know,
but first,
let me rest my head on your lap
until I can rebuild myself once more.
