envy
such an UGLY word
yet I wear it well
I won't lie
it fits like a glove most days
appreciation
a thing of pure BEAUTY
though out of my price range
becoming more rare
than finding true love

knit, purl, knit, purl, knit, purl, stitch
cable front, cable back, knit, knit, knit
slip one over, yarn in front
knit back into place
put one stitch marker there
keep up with the pace
Outside there's snow and now it's sun
White out snow squalls
Then clear blue sky
Mother Nature what's going on?
Is this your attempt at trying to cry?
The world is burning, the ice it melts
We are a virus blistfully unaware
Oh well...
knit, purl, knit, purl, knit purl, stitch
cable back, cable front, knit, knit, knit

Don't forget to tag your words
Tag your friends
Tag your slurs
You may be forgotten
Passed up
Ignored
If you forget to tag your words...

Lately it's been getting worse
Mood swings, the glitch in my brain
Lack of sleep, insomnia
Waking up to a snoring house
The fight between wanting more
And appreciation for what I have
Spinning round like a revolving door
Chaos dancing behind my eyes
Waiting for a fault to be exposed
It's happening again, I promise I've tried
Tried to keep this swinging door closed

Black cat on my lap
Give a kiss, give a laugh
Muffins while I knit my last

Black and white dog at my hip
Snoring while I take a sip
Coffee sweet upon my lip

Fiancé lying on the couch
Wondering what he thinks about
Reading book after book, no doubt

Boys safely tucked in bed
Kisses placed upon their head
Sleeping soundly, no'an ounce of dread

Simple, yet lost to so many...
