A simple phrase.
One packed with meaning.
These days gaslighting the victims.
Trauma induced is not easily dismissible
Unless you are non emphatic.
Healing takes time
And trauma compounds.
Don’t mock those who have been hurt.
It only proves how selfish you really are.
You will let me out right?
Human.
Biped?
I need to go outside!
Yay, the door is being opened!
Wait!
Why is it so cold?
All that white stuff… nope!
…
So biped let me out?
Have you changed the weather yet?
Sigh, nope.
Human you have disappointed me.
Why did you not change the weather?
Every week we meet.
Vans apart socially distanced.
Wrapped in blankets.
Warm socks in the boots.
Today will test our fortitude.
True friendship knows no bounds.
Also coffee!
A cruel joke
who doesn’t care.
Now it is
a reality.
A symptom
of our society.
Pandemic induced
and politically endorsed.
She woke up.
So now I’m awake.
She will get into things
if left unsupervised.
Now I need to nap.
Why won’t she go back to sleep?!

and commitment.
Going to interviews, even on line
requires patience and confidence.
Acquiring the longed for paycheck
takes diligence and determination.
What happens
when you have nothing to give?
You work on yourself
before you can work for others.
How do you talk to them?
What response is appropriate?
People have been hurt.
The victim most of all.
We all are victims of this crime.
Still the one hurting the most
is the one most will blame.
Dumb down, gullible, idiot child.
Disabilities do not define him
yet that is still how everyone sees him.
Jewelry taken.
Sentimental only.
Fear overrides logic.
Police visited.
Threats from the scammer.
Potential to lose everything.
For his sake I will stay.
He was not in his right mind.
Forgiveness is easy to give.
Loss of trust?
Situation dramatic.
Family is everything.
Money is not.
Life will go on.
To be or not to be
Patient.
That is the question
which makes the game so questionable?
When life gives us lemons
whose lemonade do you wish to drink?
The bitter sour kind
or the one sweetened with kindness and respect?
We all get angry
and have the right to do so.
Just remember
that not everyone is deserving of it.
The points accumulate
So does the debt.
Bills need to be paid
While the worry flourishes.
Stomachs should not be empty
Yet electronic devices are everywhere.
Inconsistencies exist
And we all still breath.
