H.E.L.P

Hope I can get rid of this feeling... I'm
Holding my insides tight with my...
Hands are wringing with anxiety and...this
Helplessness is starting to sink in...

Eager to get rid of memories of you.
Elevated blood pressure at the thought of you.
Entire poems reeking with the stench of you.
Exhausted from sleepless nights because of you.
Emancipated myself from you.

Lose the excuses.
Leave out the pride.
Lost all respect.
Left me to cope .

Paralyzing anger.
Pointless conversations.
Promises broken.

Check in

feeling: overwhelmed

Sitting at my table, listening to my poor son try to get a nap in before bed tonight. He's not having it.
I'm thinking of all the things that have come up for me this week. This month even.

It gives me a tight knot deep inside me.

It's difficult to put into words...but that doesn't matter, because you're the only one listening and you already know.

But I wrestle with the words and struggle with these thoughts.

Whose thoughts are they? What or who makes them valuable?

How can you stand on the right side of controversy?
Truth is: if you are near controversy at all, then you're probably not standing, you're sinking or on your knees.
Is Truth relative?
