One,
accept that you are broken
perhaps by yourself
or maybe
someone else
but recognize that you were once whole-
and no longer are.
Two,
cry.
And cry ugly.
slide down a cold brick wall while you do
scream at the top of your lungs
make sure no one can hear you
reach for someone who isn't there
hold on to your stomach-
weep.
It's time to let go.
Three,
walk.
For a mile,
or two.
And embrace the beauty in being alone.
Don't speak to anyone;
silence amplifies thoughts and
walking stirs them like a wooden "tun stick".
Four,
forgive,
everyone
especially yourself
for lying and believing that
you were unbreakable
incapable of being human
and incapable of showing it.
Five,
let the weight tumble
it won't fall on it's own;
but you must force it to
in unorthodox ways
but permanent ways.
Finally,
Six.
Live.
You deserve to.
