she wanted
to believe

the universe
was

intentional
that each

step had
meaning

that someone
thought

long and hard
about her

life

that someone
looked

out for her

so she dropped
her pennies

and whispered
her wishes

every rainy day

Some days I chase these views and I watch the world pause. I get to take it all in for a moment. Some days it heals me, other days it reminds me that I'm simply running from my own reality. That's when I recognize how unhappy I've been.
