“I want you ‘here’ – ‘present’ in whatever we do,” she said. “I just can’t be pining while my love is ‘far away’ – like I used to. I need you Real, Solid – Attentiive and Responsive.”

A Lone Wolf
Needs her own den, surrounded by happiness, knowing her children are well cared for.
We Were Joking
I would put the “No Trespassing: We are Tired Of Hiding The Bodies” sign on the outside of my bedroom door.
Yeeesss.
(Satisfied chuckling)
I’d Rather Be The “Troll In The Hole”
My youngling takes such good care of our family of animals that I’d rather they all have the large, bright and happy room together – and I have the small darker one, where I can seclude from any overstim.

NP
Just venting for my soul’s salvation.
“One Of Us…One Of Us…”
There is a certain look that long term residents here have about their appearance that runs consistent across the board, whether male or female. Stress is either trying to kill me or convert me.
Sleeping In The Car
Pup in the car kept soft-nosing me with her cute whiskers and my neck kept crimping, shoulders were shoved in bad angles from seat, and light from outside lamps kept burning into my eye holes.
Onion Juice
Burning a hole in gut,
Causing inflammation
Suffocating intestines –
Can’t deal with yowling
Cats if sometimes pleasant,
When I’m near – yell at me:
Caring for them is a
Cortisol’s knife-vice.
(Fever – Peggy Lee)
Love Starved
Let Passion’s embrace never go to waste.
“Being Discarded” vs. “Being Set Free”

After Pushing So Hard
I just hurt.
Outer Limits
When you are living on the edge, you don’t get to stay within the limits of “normalcy.” And because you are working oitside the parameters of other people’s schedules and expectations, this can increase the feeling of not belonging.
Envisioning
She had this vision, feeling innately driven, ever since she realized who it was from the beginning.
Sense of it began at first as the greatest of all improbabilities, causing severe anxiety and discomfort.
But then, as she began rebuilding her core assertions, she could see the steps form across a rainbow bridge, leading through the air.
Among Thieves
Some thematics never change: when you are royalty among vagabonds, it is best to not draw attention.
(The Forgotten – Atra Aeterna)
Holding On
By being present in this moment, she asserted that they would find a way through – even though the data seemed prohibitive.
(Air [Summer Chords] – Rogue)
Fleeting
Too soon, summer comes to an end.

“Wolf”

Resurgence
What fed into system sudden surge endurance?
How to accommodate replenishing while resting?
Reset
The Task: Hold ground.
The Game: Strategize for better position.
(The Tickle Belt Song)
Cast Adrift
When a person wants a home, yet circumstances keep ejecting, it seems that wanting something you cannot have has become delusional.
Eccentric
These days, holding to one’s ideals and not “selling out” is considered as such.
Self Made
It is nearly impossible for anyone to truly claim they have designed themselves without there having been some outside influence assisting.
However, it is what we choose to do with the stimulus that keeps us low – or takes us to greatness.
Defense Mechanisms
She had to learn how to fight in order to protect herself and those she loved.
Tenacity
Strength in claw,
Bite within teeth:
A gentle soul
Is still fierce.
“Demure”

(Hold On Forever – Rob Thomas)
As Fall Approaches
I got to speak with a younger sibling last night who has grown in ways that I am so proud of.
They had loving, wise words of encouragement for me. It felt good to share and be seen as valid.
(It Had To Be You – Frank Sinatra)
Resistance
If I knew this would all lead to you, would I relax more and just let it happen?
“This Evening’s Sunset”

Cyclic Patterns
It is supposed to be a survival trait that adult behaviors naturally imprint upon children, thereby ensuring productive continuance of the human race.
However, it is a flaw within our society that we do not give more support to struggling families – and thus propagate dysfunction that does not abate.
Riding The Chop
No buffers and others making mistakes that affect me directly do not help my feeling in control of things – especially financially.
