WORDS • IDEAS: JENNA FLIESEN
facing it i wonder, will my death cause discomfort for those who only kind of know me will they think “why is she incapable of changing her circumstances?” i think ‘they won’t even miss me’ how will my Lord forgive me for taking away his greatest gift? how do i tell them i'm not just writing poetry?
