Returning to my writing and my self

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
