Tuesdays are my
good days
safe days
happy days
they are the most routine,
the most reliable,
the steadiest
when I wake up and know that
I will go to school
and will have my lightest workload
of the week
and therefore the least stress
and then after school
I will go to piano lessons
run some errands
then go to the library
to pick up a few books to read that week
and later, go to youth group
but both this week and last,
as I stepped into my favorite part of routine,
I was met by your cold black eyes
looking at me from between the bookshelves
and the awful sensation that lingers afterward for so many hours
I'm beginning to think Tuesdays aren't so safe anymore.

*tuesdays are the days I am least likely to have panic attacks for some reason so I think of them as safe days
