Just for an instant

Written By Anne Janelle

You know when you try so hard you make a fool of yourself? You lose any sense of decency. And left, unbound, you’re walking. Can’t stop that. But, somehow, you’re still grieving. Can’t stop that. And you pledge to feed your womb even if there’s no baby in there. And you make amends with every little failure of yours along the way. Sweet peace. Just for an instant.
