Just Stop
Do not tell me what
I should need or think
When you clearly do not
Know what is good for me
Alone
We tell ourselves that
It’s better this way
Otherwise we
Wouldn’t survive
They Say That
If a chance comes but then leaves
It wasn’t really yours to begin with

Program Degradation
For some reason, Google search has deliberately been “dumbed down” to misconstrue meaning of search inquiries (such as finding lyrics to songs) and YouTube and WordPress have made it harder to save and share information.

Remember When?
“If we were lucky, someone would come by on horseback and ask if we had any mail to send?
Remember when we had to travel great distance through weather to town if we didn’t have this option?
And then, that letter had higher chances of getting lost or interfered with?
So why, now – with the internet and phone networks allowing us to reach each other in less than a minute in nearly any part of the world – is it even harder to directly communicate?”

Cracked Hull
As a crew member, she tried to help stop the huge military ship’s keeling, but there were flaws in its design that she could not counter, and the whole of it succumbed to the water’s drag sucking it down into the depths with several crew members still inside of it.
She’d been lucky enough to be near the surface and able to push off from the submerging bow as the ship sank slowly down backward, and as she swam to shore and pulled herself up out of the water, she saw that throngs of people had gathered as if to a Sunday picnic along the banks as they watched the ship disappearing.
She couldn’t calm the panicked distress of being unable to help save the other crew members still trapped within the ship’s confines, and as she prayed for their somehow escaping, her internal horror starkley contrasted against the ignorantly gay commentary from the onlookers around her.

Broken Lines
They hadn’t cared that their matriarch’s elegant clothes and personal belongings were going to be left behind for the angry daughter-in-law to defile and desecrate in her latent rage.
They didn’t care that the fridge’s unfinished holiday helpings if left to rot would cause damage over time in the now abandoned house and give the daughter-in-law reason to sue and place blame.
And they certainly didn’t care about the matriarch’s beloved seasonal china laid out twice yearly in sacred tradition to welcome her family.
No…
Her granddaughter-in-law saw the truth in all of it and made sure that the family helped her secure that no trace nor censure of their matriarch could be used to tarnish her memory.
They barely helped, and most reluctantly.
Oh, yes…
And then, once they realized that the china had value and they could sell it back to the angry daughter-in-law for cash value – they demanded that the granddaughter-in-law’s family turn it over to them, accusing her of interfering and “attempted stealing.”
Cut Ties
She had found out recently the that original marriage had been actively sabotaged by her ex’s family due to spite and jeolousy once their beloved matriarch passed.
But this did not exonerate him.
In fact, it emphasized the lack of mutual devotion that she had repeatedly encountered throughout her entire life.

Strength In Unity
Sharing fears and insecurities
Revealing failures’ weakness
So that it may become clear
What keeps tripping our feet
Why we keep holdimg back from
Reaching for our greater abilities
Acknowledging triumphs’ strengths
Despite inner conflicts’ resistances
Allows us to be each others’ witness
Shining light on truths by recognizing
Better who we are and desire to become
So that we may achieve heights together
Supporting when needed
Loving as we are healing
It Becomes Clear

“A 2.8% increase to disability benefits was awarded recently for ‘cost of living expenses.’
So let’s say if you were able to qualify for $1,000 monthly, this means your income would gain an additional $28.”
