“Re-exposure to inside of my unit while straightening up my kitchen as baking pizza has caused my veins to swell like they want to explode, neck and head to pound, lower back pain (likely lungs), pain in my heart and difficulty moving – despite having my door open and fans blowing.

Not The Same
She had reached for light…
Had woven it into pathways…
And had to release each one…
Sending them onto their journeys.
It Had To Happen, Anyway
“Is NOT consolation.”
It Made Her Feel
“Like she was unsubstantial.”
For Other’s Sake
But that was just it – wasn’t it?
She could always try to rally for others.
But her own self kept getting left with the short end of the stick.
Not for lack of trying, but because she didn’t have her own advocate to lend weight to help her push past barriers to her own success.
Even Still
She refused to give up.
(Run – Collective Soul)
She Was Afraid
And craved certainty.

And my arms are still swinging.”

Out Of Time

The Last To Go
She had thought they could stay…
Heart’s Ache
Every day, she had to leave them there.
Every night, too…
And she didn’t sleep well – how could she?
Knowing there were no other options as she counted down the days.
Praying somehow they would be ok.
Praying that she was doing the right thing in making the decision…
To relinquish them…
Hoping it wasn’t too late to save them.
“Yaaaay, Ve-ri-ly So!”
“I-want–a-show-er!”
Cracking The Code
“What can I do that will succeed?”
You Want This?!?!
“Puffy-eyed morning crazed insanity?!?!”
