To whom it may concern, I hereby dedicate this poem to my
Wonderful girlfriend whom I have dated for twelve months.
Faces aren't the sky,
Saying they change in 12 hours is a lie.
Lie down and think
Think about how long it takes
One hour,
One day,
Six hospital visits:
One for my baby cousin,
Two for my sister’s knee,
Three for my faulty lungs.
Two writing competitions:
One that I won,
I just needed a friend
Dark and dim in the closet
No room to breathe
I was suffocating
No one was able to see
I’ve really changed my thinking this year
Before, I was very self-critical,
A perfectionist
When things didn’t go right
