I want to
be able to do normal things
things that I
used to love
things that I should still love.
I can’t help
but battle the shame
that I’m falling behind,
lagging due to loss
groaning in my grief.
I can’t keep up today.
I just can’t keep up.
And she said,
“Some days,
you can’t ‘do normal’
when your heart is broken.”
There’s no set pace
only grace.
only grace.
