I’m Angry
“Because you’re not here.”
(School’s Out – Alice Cooper)
Maybe,
“Something vital was being pinched.”
Phasing
She could feel her energy glitching from the effort it took to stay in one plane.
Yearning
“I think that passionately desiring but not getting to have detrimentally depletes me these days.
I’d already burned through layers of reserves before this point from prior single parenting.”
Word Of The Day: Lackluster
1. lacking in vitality, force, or conviction; uninspired or uninspiring.

Oxford languages
(God Only Knows – for King & Country)
Song repost from February 2025.
Soured
“Prolonged delayed gratification is over-played.
I have no more chips to give.”
I Am Literally
“Quite twitchy.”
Dr’s Note
“There’s this feeling that I can’t place, like being body-slammed or hit in the face – felt since hearing that the only recovery path for my concussion is rest minus brain use activities when survival requires opposite.”
(Don’t Talk To Strangers – Rick Springfield)
InEquity
“I look at my ex’s lives and at all of the love and support that I gave them.
They are all now flourishing in their own ways, in some capacity or other, in part thanks to me – better off for having known me.
Yet, for all that I generously gave, I’ve come away with injuries from their growing.
I am pock-marked, battered, and bruise-broken.
Who worthy would want me now in my worsened conditioning?
All of the ease of pretty and youth has been tapped – consumed by feeder users.
I have become a mature woman – with an injured soul’s heavy cares and worries.”
“Transforming” (Song Bit)
Fannn-ta-seeeee
I’d like the re-alll-li-teeeeee
Instead of neutraaal-li-teeeee
That’s stuck all a-rounnnd my beiiiing
“Full Brazilan Laser Special”
“The absurdity of this text ad that I just received reflecting in comparison to how far removed from any financial nearity – let alone desire to have in any topped priority – to reach for or be able to pay for such service hit me with abstractedly-flustered hilarity.”
Hon,
“I need your advice.
I’ve hit next leveling hard times.
I don’t know what direction to aim for.
Except to just run and jump and see what catches.”
Words To Guide Us Through
(This is how you fall in love – Jeremy Zucker & Chelsea Cutler)
(The 6th Of January [Yasgur’s Farm] – Amy Grant)
Lockdown
Chest cavity seizes
Squeezing pressure
Wide-swath turniqit
Attempting censure
Restricted expansion
Around heart center
Insecurity signals
Confused leverage
Silence
“Misrepresents.”
(Photograph – Ed Sheeran)
Sorrow
The hurt was deep
As expanded limits
Seeming to
Never end
Keep On
“Keepin’ on.”
(The Bird – The Time, 1985)
F**k
“I don’t need nore fantasy without basis in reality.”
(Opposites Attract – Paula Abdul)
On The Cusp
“We have both become aware of some detriments and benefits.”
(Positions – Ariana Grande)
Song repost from March 2023
You Inspire Me
“I am amazed by how you brought fire back into your life, though earthbound.
It makes sense to me in some ways why your life journey has been so painful.
Hugs.”
Honey,
“I don’t know…
I map – and then take leaps of faith by extending inclusive gestures.
I love you, so I attempt to triangulate toward you possibilities in your favor.
Then, I rely on feedback from you to indicate if I am on target, or if I need to adjust my frequency.
Most of the time, it feels like I am ‘flying blind,’ and just feeling for your heart with my intuition hopefully correctly guiding me.
But this living ‘in between’ is how and why I can be so easily startled by the unexpected between us without your direct cummunication.
And then I could get triggered into a shutdown or flee reaction by accidentally registering you as a stranger getting too close to me in reality, if/when we were to cross paths suddenly.
I have survived by being extremely cautious in the environments around me, although I mask myself quite fluently to the point where this mechanism apparently now takes over me automatically.
Talk about ‘being in lockstep!’
I had no idea how much masking for safety has become such a part of my external identity!”
But You See, Baby
“I don’t want you to remain quiet, with me.”
“Live By The Feather”
“Peace Dove”
It’s More Than (A Question Of Lust – Depeche Mode)
Honey,
“I’m not thinking the same way many other people do about things between us.
I am next levels, but still hurting from our distance.”
(Black Velvet – Alannah Myles)
Song repost from January 2022.
I Am Tired Of Struggling
“Pick A Subject…”
(We Could Be Love – Hayden James & AR/CO, Rivo & Mark Hoffen Remix)

Rest’s positive reset would be welcome.
Higher
There were limits to the heights she could reach.
She wasn’t used to admitting defeat.
Between You & Me
“Which version have you liked best so far?” he asked her.
She leaned in closer so that only he could hear her…”I’ll let you know when it’s just you and me.”
Aawww: When You Are Married To Your Best Friend
Unbidden Need
She might be the salve for his wounds
But, her’s were wounds he could feed
Others Failed To Notice
How alike they were in core modes where it mattered.
Investing Wisely
She might be viewed as a tease
If so, she was an honest tease
With payment
Guaranteed
“Waitin’ On Me” (Song)
By Athena Stairs, January 3, 2026
Out of touch
Without your touch
Gotta get out of
This dippin’ rut
Oh Baby
I just
Want you
So much
Can’t you see
It’s tearin’ at me?
No
You can’t ’cause
I hide it too much
But
You wouldn’t want me
To display it openly
Unless we knew
We knew for sure
‘Cause I can’t just
Give this to anybody
You’ve got a home
Here deep inside me
Waitin’ while
I’m hesitatin’
Until I know
It’s you for me

She kept feeling like she was missing her chances with him.
