Today
I won’t pull myself out of the funk
It’s not rumination
Or unhealthy
Or dwelling
Today I will have compassion
For myself
For my pain
For my struggle
Today I will look upon the ugly side
Unblinking
Unflinching
Today I will accept where I am
Today I will sit by my own bed side
And hold my own hand
Today I will give myself a shoulder to cry on
Without advice of how to shrink, hide
Box up, or diminish pains
Today I will let fear come, unbidden
And stay, unchastised
Today I will be human
And love, wholly, all my sides
