Please Don’t Open Me Yet
I want pain, I want love, I want everything.

Please don’t open me yet I’m not ready You’re not ready Go live your life And only then return
I need fullness You’re not full You’re not yet broken
I want pain I want love I want everything You’re not everything
Go live your life Until you’ve suffered enough And only then return
— A poem from my unwritten stories to me.
I sat down to write a story last week and realized I didn’t know enough. I hadn’t lived enough. I hadn’t brewed the suffering I needed to bring the story to maturity. And out of that feeling of “I am not enough” came this poem. I hope you enjoyed it.
Thank you for your time! if you enjoyed reading that poem, please check out this other story about love and death:
