It's been a while, hasn't it?

I sometimes wonder
If you remember me at all,
Beneath your stressful days
And endless nights.

Do you remember me?

I have hidden here,
Waiting
Just for you.

Because I am you.

You are not the girl I used to know,
Not the one you used to be.
But that's okay,
I have changed too.

Have we both grown by leaps and bounds?

I wish you all the best,
But please
I beg of you.

Do not forsake me.

There  will  be
many chapters
in your life.  

Don't get lost
    in the one
     you're in
        now.  

    Never get
      so busy
     making
a  living  that
          you
     forget to
         make
         a life.

       Until you
   cross the bridge
         of your
     insecurities,
            you
      can't begin
              to
      explore your
       possibilities.

             If it's
       meant to be,
         it will be.                                                                     Jon York   2019

adopt a demon tonight
and if you're a writer
she'll help you become a
great one even
It is worth exposing yourself
to her
You won't call her a demon,
of course. That term is offensive
You'll refer to her as The Muse,
your muse
and she will visit you when the
time is right
and the time will be right
when you start doing your thing
You'll see.
