Saying Goodbye

I think we
are taught
that at some point
in the grieving process
we are obligated
to say goodbye
this is what society
has taught us to do
Psychologists and grief counselors
whisper these words
into their sessions
Defiance
though
has always
been a badge
of honor
to me
when I was 6
I was often
corrected by
family on
the correct way
to pronounce
certain words
my reply was
" same thing"
At 58
my kids
now correct my pronunciation
taking over
from those of my youth
"same thing"
is and always will be my reply
Words are personal
the way we say them
the way we own
them
the way we feel them
I won't concede
in saying
GOODBYE
I won't do it
I will not
make it real
and
if you say
"Whether you
speak the words
or
not
the loss
is still real"
My reply
is
"does not
matter
not the same thing"
the word
is my expression
and I am not
going to
surrender
