* Happy New Year, Happy New Lunar Year, and also - Happy Valentine's Day!*
It's December, that time of year when there's a holiday nearly every week. Families are going to see Santa at the mall. Parents are trying to make a grand gesture through capitalist propaganda for their children's happiness. In addition, the weather is making everyone this side of the Midwest just a bit stir-crazy.
Cabin fever is a real problem when there's snow up to your waist and you can't even shovel your driveway, let alone get out of the house. It's even worse when you have no family or friends to check in with.
Please, check in on that elderly neighbor or single millenial next door. Invite them to yours if you're able. Maybe send them a card so they feel less alone this holiday season.
It's Native American History Month and Thanksgiving is on its way. Here's hoping we're all respectful of our indigenous brethren - as we should be all year. I'm grateful for my family and friends being in my life, but sometimes I'm just grateful for a moment of silence. What are you grateful for this year?
Floating and I can't come down.
Smiling to hide my frown.
A control freak losing hold of my tether.
Waiting for the sun to shine down in stormy weather.
Losing all my feathers as I fly,
drowning the world as a I cry.
Twisted up in the possibilities
as I lose touch with multiple realities.
Rocking side to side,
lost in a train of thoughts.
These feelings are bona fide.
In a web of them, I'm caught.
Like my body and mind
speaking different languages and can't communicate.
Hoping to soon find
help with this string of Fate.
Earthquake of emotions bringing me down.
Waterfalls of ideas but I don't make a sound.
As I swipe away these tears I've cried,
I remember these are just the secrets I hide...
