I drove by
An Episcopelian church today

My therapist was
Was an Episcopelian

Shame
I don't belong to
A church

Here I sit
I have returned
To the college
From which
I received
My degree

That was in 2008
And what has changed
In America
Since that time

America is now
In more economic trouble
America is now
More susceptible
To terrorist attacks
Than ever before

The sunset
Was beautiful
It had been quite some time
Since I had seen
The sunset

She teaches here
The one
Who must not
Be named

It wasn't a good idea
To become friends
Sure, her client
But I feel like
I became her friend

I hope she considers
Me her friend

I think she does

Well I write to you
And to her

Not much has changed
For me

They still call out
The order numbers
Just as they did
In this cafeteria
Some eight years ago

And it's hard
The isolation
The loneliness

It was important to me
Meeting once a week

She told me about hope
I have hope
She's a Christian
Like me

I remember
The build a bear
Lol

Those times
Are not lost to me
I remember
Her kindness
And her warmth

And that office

Where has the time gone
Where does it go

I am a stranger
In this world

Where have
The people gone Liz?

I am kind
I am loving
I am noble
I am honest
I am good

I have read
Many great thinkers

I have travelled the world
Through YouTube

I know many things

I cared about you

Well
I'm going to order now

Here I am
At my Alma mater

Some dream

It will not always be easy
My fellow Americans

One day life
Will become even
More difficult
