Back to work
equals
back to normal,
at least in most
people’s mindset.
They can breathe a
sigh of relief.
Finally
a sign that
I’m winning against the
breast cancer.
Normal means bills will be
paid.
Health insurance will be
maintained.
All good signs of my continued
prosperity and well being.
But...
When I look in the mirror
I see
emotions staring back at me
I’m winning against the
breast cancer.
Normal means bills will be
paid.
Health insurance will be
maintained.
All good signs of my continued
prosperity and well being.
But...
When I look in the mirror
I see
emotions staring back at me
coldly reminding me that
ignoring them
ignoring them
is what took me over
the cliff before.
Curled asleep in my bed
dreams become messengers of
my spirit
weeping, whispering
you promised
it would be different.
Tonight
I hug
emotion and spirit
to my center
reassuring them,
we are just visiting our
old haunts
for a time
until our new home is ready,
we will never be back
to leading a normal life.
