You’ve Got a Friend in Me

In the month of May

and the rest of April

for that matter

I will practice self-care

like the mad-hatter

I will jump on boxes

at my gym

and indulge in

candle-lit baths

and mediation like it’s a sin

For I am not

who I’ve always been

I am a better version

of that woman

I will write until my heart’s content

Then write some more

until my soul heals

by its natural antidepressant

I will be kind to myself

Let the wind blow

through my hair

and sip

my coffee

in my underwear

I will play my guitar

for hours on end

This month

I will be

My own best friend
