ten minute freewrite at 4.20 am

-

I have thrown my body around like an old excuse

I have thrown my heart out like a kite

like rice confetti

like milk teeth behind me

like salt behind me

I have thrown away all of my pride

I have thrown all of my prayers into the deep

well of your mouth.

You catch me,

you’ve caught me

honey

I have nothing left.

I enjoyed reading this because I can completely relate. 'Throw yor heart out like a prayer' you said. I did just that. Although it didn't end in a happily ever after, I'm glad I did.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who is sometimes suddenly moved to write at strange hours...

I was led to this blog only a few minutes ago, and think you're an inspirational writer - I think I'm going to enjoy sharing your story.
