Simple

The Iron Lady

Keeping up appearances
for the benefit of others
is exhausting,
particularly when
your own needs
are put on the back burner,
leaving you
a sink full of pots
with scorched bottoms.

Little Girl, Lost

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Running freely,

arms stretched wide.

Laughing loudly,

without inhibition

High on life,
trusting completely

in the perfection of love. 

WHAM! 

Without warning, the landscape is unfamiliar.

A recurring dream since childhood of

being in my neighborhood,

but recognizing nothing.

Primal fear rising

“What if I never find my way home again?”
