Waiting to Process
I am not lazy
I am buffering.
My soul has too many tabs open,
each one holding a moment
I wasn’t ready to feel yet.
I sit still, not because I’m empty,
but because everything arrived at once.
Grief knocked, healing followed,
memories barged in without warning
and my heart said, one at a time, please.
Waiting looks quiet from the outside.
Inside, it’s a storm pausing mid breath,
a tear held hostage behind the eyes,
a thought circling until it finds language.
I am learning that processing
is not weakness or delay
it is courage taking off its armor
to examine the wounds honestly.
So if I seem distant,know this
I am sitting with myself, sorting what broke,
deciding what stays,and gently returning what was never mine.
I will move again just not before I understand
what this moment asked me to become.
