some days,
(whilst
drowning), a life
boat
comes not
in some form of saviour,
but through
the quiet observation of one
who knows me well,
who chooses kind
phrasing over questioning and
cooks the meal so I don’t have to.
reminding me what I’m doing
all this
for
and how
the little voices of
two
angels echoing off my heartstrings is more
than enough to go
another round
and try
again.
Miriam E. Miles writes on mental wellness, faith, societal relationship, and identity. Miriam’s passion is to expand a reader's understanding and challenge them to think outside their own metrics. She has recently released Phoenix, an abstract poetic autobiography chronicling the battle toward mental wellness through the lens of faith.
