Let it Come to You

 Shh, you'll hear it.

The story I have to

tell you,

let it come to you.

The lessons behind 

fables only take

you so far,

let it come to you.

You'll know every part,

every line

let it come to you 

by the end of 2023

even if you are not devout

you're a writer,

a meticulous

artist with words

able to paint

the sixteen chapels

in a story

that you have the right to tell,

let it come to you.

Listen,

let the emotions &

the thoughts

bleed through

the barriers &

into the inky words

write them down

so you can go back

read them later.

Read them the next

time you don't feel

strong, cause

what you just wrote

you made it

through that shit,

read it again

let it come to you.

Write it down

on a separate 

sheet of paper

burn that paper

let the embers

blow in the wind &

free you from that.

Let the freedom that brings come to you.
