The taps for the tears
They rage wild and then they seep
Here now, then and gone

A man shared tonight -
spoke of a ribbing he took
once at a meeting

An old timer snarked,
"You're not so happy, joyous
and free now are you?!"

Was he telling us
in not so endearing terms
that our jig is up?

An old friend passed away
Don't know what to make of this
Not an accident

He has killed himself
In his grief. It was too much
Please God, rest his soul

I'm swelling up, too
It's my middle that's growing
I'm eating again....

I am that alone
The sun is slowly rising
Two weeks and counting

i told my boss my
job no longer aligns with
my strengths and talents

he answered his cell
during the conversation
then i walked away

they won't fire me but
they know i'm on my way out
sooner than later

and then maybe they'll
recognize my value when
they're doing my job(s)

Almost sane is good
Completely sane is too much
Well, that's my theory

My husband is gone
I'm alone but not lonely
Happy to be here

Floating above it
Peace is not overrated
Holds tight but gentle

Zero just rising?
Anxiety kept you up?
Or did you slumber?
