Poetic Musings

Limitations

I must face that there is only one of me
And that though I provide healing therapy,

Each session expends in incredible efforts –
Which drains my energy, needing recovering.

Therefore, in my current commitment pursuits,
I am limited in how much money I can generate

If I am needing to retain sense of personal space
While giving so much positivity to my community.

Poetic Musings

I Am Told

If I wear makeup and arrange hair,
If I buy Gucci and pluck or use Nair;

If I fit a slot or allow others into mine,
If I give up values and submit to grind;

If I close my mouth into agreeable smile,
If I desire only others’ happiness in Style;

If I stand by while others make Hope bleed,
If I submit to narcistic, consumptive greed;

If I am available every day for your needs,
If I get stepped on so that others succeed –

And so many other messaged debasements –
Then, I am worth loving without chastisement.

Stream of Thought

To Just Stop

I had been feeling under the weather for a couple of weeks and could not seem to get my pep back, until what ever was riding finally got to me.

Recognizing I was compromised before symptoms visually surfaced took bravery on my part to admit – and was the best timing for all concerned because I was not yet contagious.

It would be nice if other people recognized this type of diligence, rather than continuing with imposed beliefs that we must work until we make ourselves worse – and infect the people around us in the process.

Compositions

Conscience

I am sick again.

Did I catch it from the client who returned from a trip where all their friends tested positive upon their return – but they did not?

Did I catch it from a friend whose coworker tested positive two days ago and they only now found out?

Is it just some other virus taking opportunity to invade because I have been overworked and stressed?

The point is, I had a full work day and weekend lined up to bring in extra needed funding, and now that’s all borked.

Because I have a conscience.

You get fired for having a conscience.

You are forced to move again because of your conscience for wanting to ensure the landlord is paid no matter others’ lack of conscience for firing you for having a conscience.

I had to cancel clients today to protect them. I have turned away sick clients to not spread any contagion.

Inconvenience resents conscience.

What makes others stand up for each other for having a conscience?

I could sure use this kind of support for protecting my fellow humans, rather than their punitive judgements causing them to turn against me.

In a society without conscience, there is little reward for the brave.
