transitional writing.

right where you're at,
write where you're at.
not as the person you used to be.
not as the person becoming.
write as the you you are now and
no other.
right now.
write honest, raw, bleeding hope,
sustaining hope, nurturing hope.
write until you are who you are becoming.
write now.
right now.
transitional writing is the hardest kind 'cause
there's a need to accept i'm not the me i was before
and i'm not the me i am grasping to become.
so, sometimes
i just don't write at all--i forget
that transitional writing might be the only real kind.
