To curing dehydration
With cherry soda
And dairy free ice cream
Sprinkled with chocolate chips

To a hot bath
When you need it
Laptop playing Netflix propped up
On the closed toilet seat

To arms to fall into
When the tears finally break
It’s just emails
Just change
Just talking until
My throat is sore

When all I need in the day
Is time to think
When all I need in the night
Is to stop the thoughts

To stories that make me stop
And sink into quests and love
And the stuff heroes are made of
What would Percy Jackson do?

Eat blue chocolate chip cookies
Fight, fall, fight again
Make a joke
By the river of fire

It’s easier than that
All these email and words
We are not battling Titans

To perspective

With Love,

Natalie
