She felt as though she/
had no control, so I gave/
it back. It’s now hers.
Or
it back. She must do.
Or
… so I quit
helping her escape.
Written after my daughter claimed she had no control in her life, then called me begging me to come get her from a treatment center she could leave on her own.
She is strong enough/
to do this. Can we be strong/
enough to let her?
Written after my daughter was admitted to a treatment center for eating disorders, then started calling, begging to be released.
She calls, asking me/
to take her from something which/
can save her life. No!
–written 2 hours after my daughter was admitted to a treatment center for eating disorders. She called, crying, begging me to pick her up.
Do you know how it/
feels to see your presence? It’s/
like when the sun shines.
OR
How does it feel to/
see your presence? It’s like the/
rising sun warms me.
I’m so close I can/
almost see your office. I/
won’t lift my boombox.
Please feel no pressure. /
Just know how you radiate/
tranquil peace and joy.
It’s NOT about me.
It’s not about ME.
It’s not ABOUT me.
IT’S not about me.
It’s NOT about ME.
IT’S NOT about ME.
IT IS NOT ABOUT ME!
You told me we won’t/
end up together. Why not?/
I’m not good enough?
When everyone gets/
the same message from God, it’s/
hard to ignore Him.
My new haircut makes/
me look classy, like the old/
“Storage Wars” Jag dude.
