The Problem is Me

What am I going to do with my problem?

I could have said my life

but that I already know that locomotive is crazy.

I have many problems.

Too many?

Or just the ones that drive me insane.

Wait, be patient.

The kids will grow up and move away.

Someday….

I hope.

The thoughts I have Lost

My ideas that are forbidden

based on society’s taboos.

Fleeting shower memes

that should be randomly discarded.

Personal opinions about strangers

and their shopping or driving habits.

The most dangerous of all,

the ones telling me how bad I am.

They have lost their weight

and as I gain my mental health

I strive for victory over the guilt

and self doubt.

Some thoughts will come and go

but the ones I know deflect

give me greater self control.

Loving Life is so Hard

Seeing the good in everything

can be impossible sometimes.

I would very much like to request

that Life stop throwing such difficult tasks my way.

My energy and capacity are super low

and they recharge so slowly.

I have a lot of love to give

but right now I must focus on myself.

For if I can not love who I am

and the body I am in,

how can I possibly love another?

The answer

is love is not contained but boundless.

Life on the other hand

can be a jerk!

My Life

From the moment I was born

until now

my life has been a series

of frowns.

Joy intermittent, fleeting and gone

what can I do to be free

of this pain

when all I want is to be me!

Do I know who I am?

Within this life of mine?

Am I good?

Or merely divine?

What if I’m bad?

A horrible mean spirit?

That would make me sad.

I wonder…

Perhaps I am neither?

Or both

delightfully strong in pathos

and wonder?

Any which way,

This is my life.

Oh my Child!

You have grown so tall.

The smiles on your face radiate

the joy of life you have found.

When you frown it upsets me.

Your stubbornness frustrates me.

I love you.

You are my child.

Change to become the one you were always meant to be.

Do not let anyone tell you otherwise

least of all me.

Though I may love you

I do not always understand you,

so be the one who you can love

and I will love you always.
