“Even cowgirls get
The Blues” from time to time and
Today is just my day
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
I feel overwhelmed
From the mundane to global
There's too much to do
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
This Lighthouse Tender
Feels like my own Inner Glow
Got buried somewhere
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
I keep adding stuff
To my already cluttered
Home, life, agenda
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
My Long Island child
With all his disappointments
Watches the World Series
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Wait until next year
Became our rallying cry
Will this be our year?
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Being hopeful
Can set us up for failure
Which is quite painful
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Put away your hopes
And accept defeat again
Were lessons I learned
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Learning to accept
Defeat again became one
Of my core beliefs
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Damocles’ Sword is
Once again hanging above
All my hopes and dreams
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
The election looms
As another dangerous
Sword above my head
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
I have some deadlines
Well past their due dates also
Hanging overhead
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Then there's the clutter
Making it hard just to move
Through my apartment
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Creating a list
Has always just meant failure
Because of their length
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
My anxiety
Over the fear of failure
Dominates my thoughts
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Have I been lying
About my own worthiness
AM I a failure?
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
The answer is NO!
I have just forgotten WHO
I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
DIVINE BY DESIGN
I AM just removing more
Of my learned false beliefs
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Today I shall do
The best that I can to find
My DIVINE CENTER
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Doing this writing
Is a necessary step
In finding my Strength
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
The Strength of God
Is alive within me NOW
And cheering me on
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
And yet I’m struggling
To overcome my malaise
Many can relate
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Perhaps sharing this
Will be helpful for others
Who are relating
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
We will get through this
The sun will shine tomorrow!
Maybe not right here
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
“The Sky IS Blue” is
A truism I say knowing
It’s above the clouds
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Kaliedecoaster
Rides and days shall continue
So enjoy the ride
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Days all follow nights
In this expanding spiral
Of infinite change
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Infinite change is
The biggest constant that’s known
So weather each storm
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Survivors know that
Storms are for overcoming
Challenges and Learning
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
I am not sure how
Ready I AM to learn the
Lessons of this storm
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Step aside for now
Then refocus attention
On the lessons learned
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
For moving ahead
I will need to reassess
What worked and hadn’t worked
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Being fresh and rested
Is a top priority
For good decisions
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Wherever you are
On your roller coaster ride
Others are with you
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
Owning the dark side
Is a sign of lasting growth
Being sad’s OK
🙁🥲😕☹️🥺
