LIFELINE

To the one I love

My Pearl

My Girl

Mag, Maggie, Magpie

Our Dolly, Molly

I give you this gift

As a life line  _________

Take up this pen

Like a sword

And FIGHT

Fight for your life

Scratch lines in this paper

As if it were your skin

Pour out this ink as if it were

blood

Write and draw and doodle and rhyme

As if your life depends on it

Because it does

FIGHT

And pour it out

All of it

Happy and sad

Scarred and beautiful

Broken and chipped

Because this is life

This is YOUR life

(it just is)

So shout it loud

And write it proud

And never forget, I love you

All that you are

All that you once were

All that you will become

Because, you’re my girl.
