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!
The down turned smile.
Messy hair with the green shirt.
Sleepy and unwilling to move.
More cuddly than usual.
Will she or won’t she?
School is inevitable!
Slim to none.
But
If you get a Fat Chance
things aren’t looking better.
In fact the you have a chance
when the odds are slim.
No. You may not have a cookie.
You are home sick today. No sugar.
There’s a cat.. in front of the screen.
Sigh, guess I’ll wait until she moves.
Where’s my coffee?
I swear I just had it in my hand!
Stop being a little tyrant!
Now, what was I going to write about again?
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.
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.
Unsure of your sense of identity
you question who you really are.
The determination that came with a goal
the future seen but not set in stone
is now a mere fantasy
as you wander this dark path alone.
No home to welcome you,
you belong to no one.
The desire to give up is strong
and you know this is a phase
one that will end.
Yet, you are dismissing the real possibilities of life
as they seem so bleak and misty.
What was once a failure
has become the reality you do not long to share.
Know your limits.
If possible listen to your body and follow its advice.
Sometimes we forget to listen
when the energy is not there.
When the deadlines are more important
and only serve to burn you out faster.
Stress leads to illnesses.
Illness leads to complications
and lower quality of life.
Take your sick day.
Get better.
Then go kick some a..
Who’s to say I don’t love you anyways?
What do you mean when I cry?
Did you like the latest remarks?
I’m not sure how to handle this rejection.
Are you going to eat that?!
Why can’t you see I have your interests at heart?
When are you going to be finished?
I an done with being rejected.
How kind of you to remark on my appearance.
Now bugger off and leave me alone!
Salad with a garnish.
The outfit for the day.
Drill sergeant yelling.
Evening plans confirmed.
Activities that are fun.
Tasty drizzles on food.
