so strange, these feelings
and wonderfully powerful
I feel like it's Christmas
and I still haven't opened
all of my presents
like the best is yet to come
and hidden behind the tree
and there is some guilt because
I haven't been a good girl
all year long
but it would be dumb to deprive
myself of the joy
it's here
I can feel it
and I know
that it
is mine
