The nose itches

but the sneeze does not come.

The body promises

but no action is done.

The mind swirls

and focus is gone.

Promises physical

that are lost and not won.

So, sit on the waste disposal

and maybe someday it will drop.

Trying to fall asleep

Awake until 3 am.

Next night

fall asleep

then wake up at 3 am.

My body needs to sleep

yet somehow

it is refusing to do so.

The mouth burns.

The tongue dies.

Eyes overflow from the tears.

Your face weeps.

Bland may be boring.

At least it allows me to keep my lips.

Shedding occurs.

Hair is found everywhere.

Vacuuming should be done daily.

Yet, I can’t blame the cats completely

when most of the hair I find is my own.

The love of the game

is the ultimate thrill.

Whoever wins or loses

doesn’t matter.

It is the fun and the companionship

that you receive that makes them so special.

So, discovering new ones

is the ultimate fun.

Either unboxing them

or playing them.

Because sometimes you might just

discover a new favorite along the way.

When the nightmare

is more of a sad mare

because of all the horrible

negative self-talk in your head.

Weeping upon waking

is just so disappointing.

Worse, it just won’t go away.

Always embarassed.

Forever trying to be cool.

Not caring for the fashions.

Yet, styling is their tool.

Forging your own path

may be the thing to say.

Yet being the weird one

Always makes my day.

My poor, sick baby

Her cough is driving me crazy

If I could wave a magic wand

So that awful cough was gone

I would

Instead I’ll be driving to the pharmacy

When you ask a friend

to pick up a jug of milk,

how galling it feels

to be lowered

to such a humiliating level.

Yet, if that is the only source of food

you have for your children

you do whatever it takes to keep them alive.

And pray that next week

the food bank has more vegetables

instead of merely rice and pasta.

The Eat Healthy diets

only work if you can afford them.

Two letters.

Powerful.

Does not mean yes.

Does not mean maybe.

Does not mean talk over me.

Does not mean anything but no!

So if you don’t listen to these two letters

it simply means you won’t listen to anything else I say.

But there is someone I know who will.
