To be myself.

Be comfortable in my own skin.

Love myself and who I have become.

No more crisis’

No more distraught phone calls.

No more Worries.

Please, no more!

Unless I’m swimming

I have found

When the heat

Gets too much

All I want

Is a wet towel

Cooling down my back.

Repetition and practice.

Time well spent.

I cannot regulate.

So routines created.

Tasks are done.

Then pleasurable rewards.

Some days easier.

Others are not.

Promise I made.

Held accountable.

Must work.

Get something done.

Time comes

when another report is due.

Emotionally distance parents.

Undiagnosed ADHD.

Poisoned marriage.

Special needs children.

Potential wasted.

Therapy unlocked.

Cats.

Friends.

They saved my life.

Blaming him.

Wanting escape.

Depression wins.

Kids lose.

Self erosion.

No turning back.

Until sun shines again.

Watching them play

Brings me joy.

It is simple, honest fun.

What is that odour?

Is it rotten food?

Animal droppings?

A dead fish?

Ugh.

I need to find it so I can get rid of it!

Just like a bra

mental energy can sag.

When you get the right support

you perk up

and are livelier

and more social!

The country is beautiful.

People can be friendly.

Not always polite

But we can have bad days too.

Enjoy the weekend and see you when the flag flies free.
