What is this stress
making my belly churn
my skin’s itchiness,
my pulse race?
Could it be from
the financial separation,
kids, career,
general obligation?
New starter to train,
bookweek costume,
book balancing,
bithday cake?
Oh wait, I see—
I can do these things,
all of these things,
with a smile and a grin.
It’s you, ex man (child) of mine
looking lost
that unravels me
too easily.

Just that worry about what he could do if he gets bad again. Thank God for his mental health support.
