On my 26th birthday: Thank you, Alanis

One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived
and i'll be a friend to my friends who know how to be friends

One day I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened
and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt

One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life urgent for a finish line
I have been missing the rapture this whole time, of being forever incomplete

One day my mind will retreat
And I'll know God
and I'll be constantly one with her night, dusk and day

One day I'll be secure
like the women I see on their 30th anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life urgent for a finish line
I have been missing the rapture this whole time, of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
ever expanding
ever adventurous
and torturous
but never done

One day I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid and measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art

One day I will be faith filled
I'll be trusting and spacious, authentic and grounded and home

I have been running so sweaty my whole life urgent for a finish line
I have been missing the rapture this whole time, of being forever incomplete
