Thanks. I'm just wiped out.

I am not cut out for this cutthroat crap.

I don't care about stuff. I care about love, family, creation...

I don't want my energy going into this. Maybe I can find a way to do this in a way that doesn't feel sooo negative. Maybe back to my "speak softly but carry a big stick."

I'm just so pissed off at him, especially when I see my kids sad like they were tonight when I had to leave them.

Here's a little ditty-

too much weight
though nothing to see
just trying to sort the him out from me

I run in my sleep from the feeling of gone
wake up to the stillness and up on my toes
so the daggers and prickles wont penetrate my bones

And I hear simple songs
and it all seems so wrong
I spin faster than the earth
and I stay in one spot

little guys with tears
and I can't assuage
I can't make it better
watch the innocence just seeping out
through inquisitive and increasingly cynical eyes

I'm the one who nursed them
kissed the booboos,
appeased them
held them so close

And now as they spiral into an abyss
I do so parallel and toward my own
And watch them as we're falling
and reach for them
But they are just beyond
all i can do is watch and flail about

my babies are falling and i don't know where they'll land...
just hope to get there first extend my arms and pray I can break their falls.

And where is the big HE? The man in this bunch?
Not so eloquent but true, he is out to lunch.
