i realized that it's okay
to have off days
where the light switch doesn't always work
where your bed feels more like a coffin
and you really wouldn't mind
not waking up in the morning
but you will turn on again
you will learn to get out of bed
and take out the trash bags under your eyes
you will learn to start over
and realize
the sun will still be on your side
like he has always been
and you will open up the blinds
and finally let him in
z.f.
