Where does it all belong?
Should I clean out this closet?
Can I shove one more into that drawer?
How do all these things accumulate?
If this is a disposable society
why am I ending up with all the things?
Feeling Moody
Looking at videos.
Dropping off the youngest at school.
Seeing her now.
Looking at the eldest.
As he enters his first post secondary class.
Watching the grown man.
Wondering as the middle child is leaving home.
Waiting for a phone call
To tell me everything is alright.
Lashing out in Anger
You try so hard to stay calm.
Buttons are pushed.
Some so hard you have no time to react.
All you can do is watch the aftermath.
Pray that emotions run out and apologies will be accepted.
Consistency and therapies only go so far.
Sometimes you just have to ride it out.
Emotional Scheduling
You never get to choose when the emotions come.
Sometimes they come without warning.
Other times you know they are there
but can do nothing to stop them.
Suppressing our feelings have left us numb as a society.
How can we be happy and whole
when we never talk about what has happened before.
Be kind to your self and find a friend.
Hug someone today.
Or simply smile at your neighbour.
Treat yourself today.
You deserve it.
We as a society appreciate you.
I know I do.
Fried Rose
Yellow.
Red.
Pink.
White.
The all rare Blue.
Black as they wilt in the pan.
Why does it taste like I am eating perfume?
Sick of Myself
The posturing.
The denial.
The preaching.
The endless flow of negativity.
The lows.
The pushing of choices.
Lack of light.
The temptations.
The lack of will.
Inability to continue self care.
The whining.
Of always being tired!
Thick headed
We don’t want to have to keep paying
for the crimes our ancestors did!
Then how long are you going to make the victims pay?
Life begins in the womb!
So are you going to take care of the child once it is born?
Those who are poor should just work harder!
The poor work twice as hard
to even get one slice of the bread you enjoy everyday.
Our kids should not be forced
to take vaccines because they cause Autism?
Did not your parents/grandparents survive until now
because of the advances in medical technology?
Besides, they have Autism. Is that a bad thing?
Only our God is the true God and no other religion should be worshiped!
Belief is individual and you cannot make someone believe what you believe.
Love is only between a man and a woman!
All else is a crime against nature!
So science taught you that we all have more than two chromosomes.
What are all the other ones for then?
Besides does that mean you can not love your son or daughter
if they are the opposite sex from you?
Liberal minded folk are evil and are trying to control the world with conspiracy theories!
Hand on forehead.
Case in point, my friends, case in point.
Long weekend
Time to sleep in.
Go camping.
Or simply enjoy someone’s presence.
Go fly that kite.
Read your book.
Take the long hike.
Feed your soul
And nourish your mind.
If these things are available.
Dreams mirroring reality
When you get angry at him for judging you.
For stupid things you cannot control.
Or having fun doing your beloved recreations.
My favourite is when the kisses become real ones.
He makes me happy and that is why I adore him.
Matinee
A less crowded theatre event.
Still worthy of a showing.
Blinded by the light upon exiting.
Movie popcorn is the bomb.
Who wants to go with me?
