5 Minutes

I can write again

Even when I'm sad and small

Even when my mind shrinks and stalls

Even when there's nothing at all

5 minutes a day

I hear voices again

5 minutes a day

I feel tall again

5 minutes a day

I can get out of bed

In 23 hours and 55 minutes

For the next 5 minutes

I'll feel okay again

I'll learn to write and wait again
