Affirmations
We all have that friend...
the endless stream
of cheerful affirmations
across our newsfeed.
Like sunshine
and rainbow farts
blown from
lavender scented
*******.
One read:
“Do what makes you happy.”
I asked,
“What if what makes you happy
is killing and dismembering people,
and storing their organs
in your freezer?”
She’s not my “friend” anymore.
I cringe, reading
some of the memes,
wondering about
the dangers of
that much optimism.
Wondering if I’ll ever
read about this person
in a front page
news story.
