Q. 4

In my exhaustion, I wonder: how much more can I hold, this breath, this day, this life. I don’t know. I have little energy to hide my bitterness today. I stand in front of a mirror, and try on my new large backpack. It is filled with my stuff already — some light clothes and travel essentials. With this, could I let go — and welcome new breaths. Will my past change. Will my future change. Will my present change. What do I want: a change, a relief, a heart.
