free-write

i know that i know that i know there’s a fire inside that may
be temporarily bewildered and confused
but will find its way again.

i value ambiguity, gray, inbetween-ness
but i’m also sick of it.

i appreciated the sun
today
i appreciated its clarity. it was here. no hint of a chill until sundown

i am feeling
repressed, somehow
i’m having trouble naming
the source
and so it’s easy to point at the wrong thing. blame the wrong thing. like
the people who do nothing but love you
or
my school
or
myself myself myself.

but then i haven’t moved.

and i’m over it.

i’m ready to move.

i’m ready to be done with this
i’m ready to thrive.

May I please thrive now?
