I have no idea what I did.
I was riding the bus to work as usual.
We were told to get off earlier than normal.
As we converged on the street
I saw the wounded.
Instinct kicked in and I ran to help.
Vaguely I remember arms pulling at me.
There was lots of shouting.
I know I yelled back.
Still the ones that I could assist I did.
Now, sitting in the hospital
people are thanking me.
I am not a hero, I just did what anyone would do.
Managing your finances.
Budgeting for expenses.
Sticking with the choices.
No surprise shopping
or justifying a new temptation.
Bein responsible can be hard.
How can you be feck?
What is less than feck?
I don’t understand feck?
Did feck once mean true?
How else does one become feckless?
Should I talk about it?
Do they really need to know.
Mentioning it usually causes discomfort.
But not talking about it
is just as dangerous or worse.
Courage is required.
My voice will be added!
The tasks were completed.
I fixed some problems.
Relaxation and enjoyment were found.
Friends met and talked.
So much was done.
And I still feel refreshed!
Yellow fruit and green leaves
dance in my head.
Video pixelated for maximum enjoyment.
The other products are colourful and abundant.
Dreams do funny things
and yet I still see the fruit upon waking.
The trigger signs were subtle.
A suffocating air of tears.
The only conscious thought
was to get home safely!
Deep breaths only went so far.
Emotions were in turmoil.
Home!
The cyclone was released.
My own personal hurricane.
To be safe I must attend to the sickness in my brain.
Brush your teeth.
Eat your vegetables.
Stand up for your beliefs,
but don’t deny others theirs!
Use kind words,
or say nothing at all.
Mind your manners.
Don’t be afraid to take action.
Unless it involves waking mommy up before her alarm goes off!
The cat sits
perched comfortably.
Attention wanted.
Attention unwanted.
He watches all that surrounds him.
And when I vacate mine.
It is the perfect warm spot
to curl up in!
The urge doesn’t go away.
Sometimes it is stronger.
Other times barely there.
The withdrawal signs acute.
The hands can twitch uncontrollably.
Otherwise eyes flutter wildly.
Headaches and joint pains.
The desire is for it to end!
But when the fever and chills
strike again and again
The body lies there and cries.
