If I Die Before the New Year

If I die before the New Year,
please do not rush to make me sensible…
do not tidy me up, for comfort.

Tell the truth,
that I lived with my whole chest exposed,
in a world that prefers women armoured and covered up.

Tell them that I loved more than once,
and that each love marked me, with a red pen.

Tell them that one love taught me endurance…
how to stay,
how to hope on credit,
how to call patience a virtue,
even when it was slowly erasing me.

Tell them that I learned how to survive love…
how to negotiate longing,
how to soften my hunger,
so that no one would feel accused by it.

Tell them that another love arrived later…
after grief had rearranged my expectations.
It did not rescue me.
It recognised me.

And that frightened me more
than being left and neglected ever did.

Tell them that I wanted intimacy
that did not require me to shrink…
touch that did not apologise for desire…
love that could kneel with me,
undress me,
and still respect who I am.

If I die before the new year,
tell my children this gently:

I chose you,
in a season when choosing myself
was still controversial.

Your laughter steadied me.
Your questions slowed me down.
You taught me that leadership,
without tenderness,
is hollow noise.

Tell them that I tried to build a world
where they would not confuse silence with goodness,
or obedience with worth.

Tell them that I stayed…
because love is also an act of courage.

If I die before the new year,
say that I was ambitious…
not for applause,
not for titles,
but for transformation.

Say that I wanted rooms to shift
after I left them…
stories to change hands…
power to feel less hostile
to women who speak with clarity,
and softness,
in the same breath.

Say that ambition cost me sleep,
ease,
sometimes romance…
because vision is demanding,
and a woman with vision
is often asked to choose.

If I die before the new year,
say that I was tired
of being impressive.

Say that I wanted to be held and caressed,
without being useful.

Say that I believed in God, loved Him,
and argued with Him often…
say that faith did not spare me longing,
it sharpened it.

Say that I was still learning
how to want without apology,
how to leave without cruelty,
how to stay awake,
inside my own life.

Say that I was not finished…

And if I live beyond the new year,
let this poem be my witness.

That I will no longer confuse survival with living.
That I will no longer accept half-love
as a spiritual exercise.

That I will lead,
but not at the cost of my aliveness.

That I loved deeply.
That I wanted honestly.
That I stayed tender,
in a year that tested everyone.

And…
if you are being embraced by these words,
at the edge of your own threshold,
know this…

Staying is an act of courage too.
So is choosing joy.
So is beginning again… even if you are at the threshold of a new year.
