After taking another hiatus from my writing, I realized (yet again) that I simply cannot not write. As it so often happens with The Universe, something perfectly timed landed in my lap (or my inbox, really), and I jumped back in. After completing the writing course with The Herstories Project, I decided to go down the memory lane of this blog and found this poem, which I wrote--how appropriately--after another one of my writing "breaks." I don't even remember writing it, but I thought: what a fitting way to come back here, to this space, and put my voice back out there.
Wish You Were Here
if you come back
to your words
your space
after a very long time
if you come back
does it matter
if anyone missed you
or only if
you missed yourself
if you come back
do you have to explain
to yourself
or anyone else
why you were gone
