“Why you draggin,’ dragon?”
Category: A Woman’s Plight
Hungry
“Out of pizza.”
The Need For Fresh Air
“The smell is everywhere on this ‘non-smoking’ property.”
Maybe,
“I should get three pizzas on discount night Tuesday…
Then they could feed me the entire week.”
Stuck In Place
“I know I should leave.
But I can’t…
Not without help.”
(Dangerous – The xx)
It Irks Me
“That I can no longer be all of the parts that could express their selves in me, had they been given clemency.”
What Use
“Is a secondary bandaid that becomes bound to itself – rather than one’s cut finger?
At least, it was a buffering line of defense, holding pressure against pain until the morning.”
Remember
Within harbored walls
Outside wild surrender
Two shall become one
And fie to any offender
The First To Love
One Mistep
She tried hard to avoid.
A Handmade Costume
“Funny how over time, fabric shrinks…
I know I was never that thin in my adult timeline.”
I Remember
“Looking at dance costumes, wondering what the heck was I thinking -?!!!
I’m a drummer, a musician, a baseline-holding groove machine.
But it was a ton of fun to get up and let my self try it!”
Rage At The Machine
“Oh, yes….
I have quivering, pleading emotions.
But I will not let you see the way I’m needing.”
You
“You’re over there – and then, there.
Behind things…
Repositioning.”
Deep Listening
“There’s so much time and space, but I can’t hear what I am seeking.”
Compression
“I go quiet when things become too hard to bear…
I get tired of getting pushed into losing composure.”
(Brave For You – The xx)
I Suspect
“That there is no ‘right timing.’
But there are plenty of ‘reasons’ to not ‘step up.’
And plenty of obstacles that reinforce our feeling ‘stuck in a rut.””
Opening Doors
“I’m sick,” he told her flatly.
“Ok,” she responded, accepting. “Can I come in?”
I Need This
Oh
“I’ve got the itchies and the twitchies from some kind of allergin.”
(The Love You Want – Sleep Token)
All Right, Guys
“I have things to DO!
And I must DO them!”
(Every body out of the way!)
Ah-HA!!!
“He foolishly exited!”
(Scrambles to quickly close the door to keep him from hiding under the bed)
The Verdict
“I’m doomed.”
Noooooooo
“I left my bed-room door o-pen!”
(As the cat leaps gaily off into it with a spicey, joyful meow – having just now recognized my folly)
Powering Up
“Finish the project…
And become ‘functional.'”
When That Day Comes
I Don’t Do
“Second day leftover fast food hamburger lettuce.”
(Straight into the trash before reheating and consuming other remnants)
We Keep Trying
“Until we can’t.
But even then…
Keep trying.”
Soul Survivor
“I’m tired…
I can’t do this anymore.
Another battle…
Another mountain to climb alone.
More blocks to eating, resting, dreaming, believing…
I can’t exercise or function well here.
Yet I am supposed to dig myself out of another caved in tunnel…
While suffocating and full of fear.”
Queenager Era
I’m Not Hysterical
“You’re hysterical!”
Rat Race
“Where’s the Go* *amn cheese?!”
My Love
Just Give Uuuuup
Scientists Agree
For Me,
“It’s always been about who I can trust…”
Man Up!
“Woman Woman Woman…”
It’s Called A “Snowall Effect”
“And how the heck do you get out of it?
That’s what I’d like to know.”
This Space
“Is not my home.”
Dependency
“When you need a place for your stuff – for you to eat, sleep, and dream – there is vulnerability in your position…
I am considering giving up most everything, immediately.”
EE-GAAAADDDSSS
“The neighbor’s stench from their apartment oozes into miiiiinnee – mingling with the choking fumes of gaslighting cigarette ashes…”
(Please, Lord, get me safely and positively out of here, asap…)
Having Issues Isn’t The Issue
“Whether or not you let them control the quality of your life is the underlying issue.”
For All That I Do,
“How is it that my confidence is so diminished?
Is this from a refusal to allow my ego to grow big?
Or is it from so many life challenges compounding?”
Calisthenics
“I hopefully began watching a 15-minute home workout program – but then internally balked as the first moves were deep squats coming up with a high forward leg raise lifting.
Laughing weakly to myself, I joked out loud softly “Well that’s not hap-pen-ninggg…”
Always
“What do you want from me?” he asked her.
“Everything,” she admitted.
