A guilty pleasure reading them.

How trauma was endured

and the protagonist ended up

in a better place after the divorce.

Usually they are a fairytale

because wealth allowed them to leave.

In real life,

it is usually the opposite.

Lack of money

is the main cause of trauma

and revenge is never so simple

as humiliating the offending party.

Plus, it does not sow happiness

or joy due to being bitter.

To reap what you sow.

To pick the fruits of your labour.

Sow discontent

and you will always be uncomfortable.

It looks so warm.

The golden reds and oranges.

Yet, stepping outside

without a sweater

you realize your mistake.

I like to laugh.

I find the humour in situations.

I try to stay positive.

I sometimes am the instigator.

I never liked to simply do the minimum.

If I failed at the challenge

at least I tried it.

Only by trying

something I had not done yet

satisfied me.

Mistakes are made

but mistakes mean you can learn from them.

I should get something to eat.

I need to eat.

I did eat.

I had a sandwich for lunch.

It is almost bedtime.

It is past bedtime.

What did I have for supper?

I should get something to eat.

People see elfin

They see beauty

Stick thin figures

No fat anywhere

Yet I have seen

An elfin beauty

In my friend

Whose voluptuous body

Is unmistakably not thin.

My friends tell me I am.

I don’t always believe them.

I just like to help people when I can.

It is the times I go past those in need

That makes me doubt myself.

But then I have to remember

I also have to be kind to myself.

I can not help others

If refuse to help myself.

I have done that before

And if not for friends

I would not be here today.

I notice things.

I see what others miss.

Yes, there are days when I can not find something.

That is usually due to memory

and forgetting what safe place I put it in.
