Stacy Mitchell Poet Dramatic Verse

A Letter To Remembered Joy

So what do I do now?

Do I pray?

Do I cry?

Or do I hide from the monsters that are inside?

If I stood on my head,

Stripped butt-naked in the middle of Time Square

Screaming, "I'm Sorry!"

As loud as I could it still wouldn't be enough

How do I tell the parnets of my best friend that I'm sorry for killing their son?

Words wouldn't cover something that bad I know you must be aberrant

At times I wish I could of traded places with you....

I thought about you the other day,

And I started to think about the things that we used to do

So instead if writing

"I'm sorry about what happened"

60,000 times on a sheet of notebook paper

I decided to write you a letter to remembered joy to help you remember the good stuff instead of the bad

I hope this gives you some comfort

And one day you can start to forgive me

So here I go.............
