The days are upside down
A whirlwind of unknowns
Each morning, I face them
A mirror image of who I am
But where do I need to be?
I overlook the important
To dwell in the mundane
Endlessly searching for me
Wondering where I went
Yet, never finding myself
It’s a brutal pattern
A continuous thread
Unraveling, dangling
With no scissors in sight
To cut away the fray
Until it is too late
Everything I have done
Denigrated, criticized
Until the attacks cease
Forever brought to an end
Authors Note: Just letting you know I am fine. My poetry, lately, has been reflective of those who are not fine. I am merely a voice for those who cannot speak…

Nice idea to put an Author’s Note on this kind of post 😊💛 I may borrow it sometimes if that’s ok.

Of course. I usually get the “are you ok” private messages after I write something like that, so I figured I’d let everyone know ahead of time 😉

I am well. Waiting for another surgery on my right eye. But getting the itch to get back to writing. Great to hear from you.

Glad to hear you’re well, except for that right eye. Give it hell for me! And so happy to hear you want to write again!!!! I wish you well, Drew, hoping this will be the last surgery, and you’ll be back on the road to words 🙂

Well. I just came from the Doctor and I was informed there is nothing we could do. Time to move on. Thanks for your kind wishes. I will be back next week. Be well.
