Maybe One Day

Maybe one day
the weight will lift,
and I'll remember
what it feels like
to wake up without a stone
lodged in my chest.

Maybe one day
the silence won't echo,
and I'll stop mistaking
loneliness for safety.

Maybe one day
the mirror won't sting,
the past won't bite,
and I'll stop writing poems
that ache.

But not today.
