I’ve been trying
Head down
Fingers nimble
Quilting phrases
Mind focused
Turning my words
Inside out
Searching them
Owning them
Teaching them
To be kinder
More considerate
More inspiring
More motivational
But they mock me
Laughing until
Their echoes
Sound like screeching
Fingernails
Inside my head
I want to give up
I need to give in
I want it to stop
I need it to end
Who the hell
Said I had strength
Not me I said
Some of us
Are always fighting
Shadows
HASTYWORDS

There are always shadows somewhere every day, but each day at dawn of the bright sun burst forth with the promise of a new day.

This was a perfect statement. Some of us are always fighting shadows. It’s constant, and sometimes feels like it’s never going to let up. Just standing up is winning.
