Care and don’t care at the same time.
Love and hate simultaneously.
Thrilled and terrified beyond capacity.
Living and not feeling alive.
Little Things
Replacing the tissue box when the last one has been used.
Turning down the volume/using headphones so as to not disturb the sleeper.
Having the bed made, which makes falling into it easier.
Finding something they enjoy, especially if it brings out a smile.
Waiting patiently for the bathroom to be free.
Keeping good hygiene so breath and body are acceptable.
Listening, even if you are not actually interested.
Use
Appreciating the beauty.
Working for others.
Helping the needy.
People are burdens.
Unconditional love forgives.
Death awaits all.
Dirt is everywhere.
Obligation
Obligation with guilt is undermining.
Duty through pressure is a fallacy.
Worth defined by how much is never enough.
Doing something because you feel you have to is only half the story.
The other half is usually never talked about.
Budget Friendly
It is not hard to make something friendly.
Time and patience are required.
It is also easier when there is no available funds to draw upon.
Grief
Not knowing what will happen next.
Anger and denial are not here yet.
Anticipatory in the future bad news.
Always alone and misunderstood.
I don’t want to be cruel.
I just want to know when I can be allowed to grieve.
Program
I was programmed differently.
Sensitive was the catchphrase.
I never understood why I never fit in.
Even my family confused me.
They would say one thing and act a different way.
Later I learned why.
None of it was my fault growing up.
I just live with the consequences.

People Code
I think I understand what they have said.
It is what they tried to imply that went over my head.
My reflexes are average so I only catch so much.
The rest has to wait until someone explains it to me.
Doubting Fire
Mrs. Chance walked the line.
Her husband fell behind.
He saw the blaze.
She choose to ignore him.
No harm could fall upon the believer.
