This Is My Life With No Capital Letters

my father
who is
currently
off in a truck somewhere

has said time and time
again
and
again

that if you'd like to
be good
at something,
anything

you have
to fully
emerse yourself
in it.

i have blocked calls
from ex lovers
and woke up
just to read a book.

my life is a story
i keep writing
over and
over.

sometimes i wonder
if this is a life
someone else
is living.

i'd do anything to
dive
headfirst back into
the ocean.
