I am feeling anxious and unable to participate socially right now.

I acknowledge you and will get back to you when I am able.

Peace and love.
Sometimes I need a short break from the world. I always come back.

At the bottom of the Mariana Trench
Scientists have found plastic waste
Isn’t it amazing, aren’t we incredible,
Humankind will never be erased
Look at all the wonders we pollute
The natural reserves we can deplete
Giving our earth a one finger salute
No other species can possibly compete

The cat would like to make it known
That the conditions in her drop zone
Have not been sufficiently attended
As such, her visits are now suspended

Of course, she didn’t say it with a note
Feline communication can be cutthroat
No texts, no gestures, no logical clues
She left a warm “present” in vacant shoes

A warning, a show of superb restraint,
If things don’t improve post-this complaint
If her privy is not lavishly filled
The cat will show she’s not just one-skilled

Her range is amazing, very precise
She doesn’t go big, when small will suffice
She hopes that her message is well received
And improvements are directly achieved

If I am spinning past
Removing the old and broken
While organizing mayhem
Take care!

If I am whirling about
A mad cyclone imposing order
Finding things that- I can’t even...
Run!

If I am asking questions
Of objects or empty rooms
Assigning motives and guilt
Watch out!

I am fighting chaos
It's easier than giving in

I strip myself bare, exposing every weakness, every secret I hold dear. You don’t notice.

I break myself down; I am countless pieces that won't fit back together again. You didn't hear my call.

I bleed for you; it isn't enough. It's never enough. I will always give you more than I can afford to lose.

Dear mama bear
Now that I’m a mama bear too
I better appreciate all
The things that you do
And the things that you did
That I didn’t even know
The places you went
When you didn’t want to go
Thank you for guiding me
For helping me grow
Thank you for giving up
More than I’ll ever know
Thank you for loving me
When I wasn’t at my best
Thank you for everything
I am truly blessed

Sometimes I stop and read twice
My head wasn’t in the right place
And I was rushing by
With no consideration of rhythm
Or particularly wonderful sounds
Taking no time
To make pictures behind eyes
Or try on borrowed feelings
Until everything comes alive

Sometimes I stop and read twice
Appreciating beauty
Or a clever turn of pen
Tasting every syllable
Feeling every beat
Wilfully losing time and place
Sometimes once is not enough space
To really live
