remission

tidal waves.

remission is strange

everyone says that

you’ll know when it happens

you’ll feel it in your soul

but it’s been 332 days

47 weeks, 10 months

8 hours, 31 minutes, 27 seconds

and counting

when will it happen?

i’m getting a little impatient

i’m ready to feel reborn,

new

it doesn’t feel like anything’s changed

but in the moment,

i guess i feel okay

and i guess yesterday was okay too

i think

maybe my baseline feelings

have gotten better

is that remission?

no, no, it’s not

remission has to set you ahead

be the push you need to

start fresh

that’s fair

i wonder if these daily

'i feel okay's

will build up to be a tidal wave

that washes over me

cleansing me and

throwing my hair

over my eyes

so that when i pull it back

the world will look

different, better

maybe even a little hopeful

that would be nice

i hope remission feels like that
