Tell me why it gets better ~ a letter to your past self
Profile avatar image for Mae6213
Mae6213 in Poetry & Free Verse

Hold On

I see you.

29.

Heart empty.

Hands full of babies.

Wondering will you ever love again.

Hiding red eyes.

Hiding the wet pillow.

Berated constantly.

If you had cooked...

If you were thinner….

If you were a better mom...

If you took your head out of the sand…

But it gets better

At 33 you find your dream job.

At 34 you buy your first house.

At 35 you meet the true love of your life.

On the cusp of 40 you’re living the life,

you only dreamed possible.
