I understand
that life
is stressful
for you

but do you understand
that life
is stressful
for me

red
green
wait

she knows
that she needs
to disconnect
to be able to make
new connections
but sadly she lacks
courage to act

she walks through the streets
without knowing
where she will end up

left right and left again
up and down
and straight ahead

she follows her soul
hoping that she will find
what she is looking for

cat
dog
us

it is Christmas

the little boy
happily playing
with his shiny new toys
is oblivious to the
dark cloud that envelopes
his parents

I am sad as I sense
that this might be the
last Christmas
when both parents
watch him play

she is so lost
she is so lost
she cries all day
she lost her soul
