Incomplete- Alanis Morissette

I want to be home so badly. I'm exhausted of finals, of this dorm, of the people here, of everything. I want to be home. I want to sit by the fire and drink my mom's tea. I want to put up the ornaments my mom sets aside for me every year. I want to fall asleep on the couch reading a book. I want to drink wine and laugh at Stephanie's parents dancing to Greek Christmas music. I want to hug my sister and be in awe of how tall my brother is getting. I want to squeeze their hands extra hard when we say that "Our Father" at midnight mass. I want to switch exchange gifts with them after we get back from church. I want to fight over the paper with my parents at breakfast. I just need to be home.



"One day I'll find relief
I'll be arrived
And I'll be friend to my friends who know how to be friends
One day I'll be at peace
I'll be enlightened and I'll be married with children and maybe adopt
One day I will be healed
I will gather my wounds forge the end of tragic comedy

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

One day my mind will retreat
And I'll know God
And I'll be constantly one with her night dusk and day
One day I'll be secure
Like the women I see on their thirtieth anniversaries

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete

Ever unfolding
Ever expanding
Ever adventurous
And torturous
And never done

One day I will speak freely
I'll be less afraid
And measured outside of my poems and lyrics and art
One day I will be faith-filled
I'll be trusting and spacious authentic and grounded and home

I have been running so sweaty my whole life
Urgent for a finish line
And I have been missing the rapture this whole time of being forever incomplete"
