There is a weight to the images.
The emotions roil around intense.
I feel like they could turn into nightmares.
When I wake I realize
they have exemplified my stress.
This is why I do not wake refreshed.
Cold Day
I am not a lizard
but I find it harder to motivate myself
or be active on colder days.
The willingness to shower
is in proportion to room tempurature.
Social distancing made this habit worse.
Now I have to force myself to do basic hygiene
when I do not have a social reason to do so.
That may be why
I like it when my friends visit regularly.
Timing
Sucks sometimes.
Everything happens all at once
Or there is an interminable amount of waiting.
You can be joyful from the circumstances
or be thrown into the depths of despair.
Today is one of those days.
Yesterday
Come and see what we have to offer.
You do not want to pass this up!
We have amazing deals.
Limited time only!
Hurry before the sale ends!
The sale ended….
Not sure of what Title to give
I have the little stool for my feet.
The tissue box is well within reach.
Yet it still takes me 20 minutes to release.
By that time, my legs have fallen asleep.
Shower Shock
A blazing hot shower.
A cold bathroom.
Even the mat is cold.
My body is instantly shivering.
I rush to dry off
and get dressed
so I can be warm again.
This is why I do not like winter.
Things Gone Wrong
Typing your essay
and mixing in your job resume.
Using paprika instead of cinnamon.
Overwatering the plants.
Bringing an extra set of clothes
but forgetting the underwear.
Using hairspray
without combing your hair first.
Being sad and not seeking help.
Talent
I can be good at things.
There are many things I like to do.
My thoughts always intrude.
Mediocre at best.
What talents I may have
They are good.
Just not great.
Greatful
Hanging out with awesome friends.
Appreciating their awesomeness.
Feeling awesome in their presence.
Grateful for their greatness!
Grateful
I am thankful for my amazing friends.
My life is enriched by them.
Family is family
But if even one is a friend
There is nothing better.
I am very thankful for the people who love me
Simply for being who I am.
You know who you are!
