Give yourself permission
to not quite settle into acceptance,
to stay in that prickly space
between your pain and your peace,
that space where you howl
and beat your chest,
that space where you wrestle
round after grueling round
with ego, fighting
to not make this truth "the truth,"
that space where you'll finally
exhaust yourself
and get quiet enough
to hear your own wisdom whisper
that everything will be just fine
and you,
you perfectly human human
are so much more
than this "this."
