Pack 2

I sit on our bed,
facing the headboard,

Promising i'll have better posture
In our new home.

I pick and choose habits to keep,
Like pairs of shorts, buried in my dresser.

There are emotions woven into this process,
that
I can feel I am not experiencing.

I have told no one but family.
I haven't been to an open-mic.
I haven't said a single goodbye.

For me,
it is a necessary sacrifice.

I am not ready to leave.

but just because we aren't ready,
doesn't mean it's not time.
