at times like this

what is there to say
at times like this.
at times of despair,
and fear.
at times of sickness
and intensity.
it's so easy to be hopeless
in the middle of all the despair
and fear
and sickness
and intensity

but you are wearing your brave face.

the way it is

the way it is can
cause you to freak the fuck out.
life is exhausting

skin to skin
legs entangled
hand in hand
relaxed
eyes closed
breathing each other in
alarm goes off

A bad day in MommyLand.

The end of the day and
the lights are all off
The fan is on, and its breeze
is relaxing.
As relaxing as this moment can be.
Scratch marks in her shoulder are
a reminder
of the defeat she feels.
Always fighting,
never listening.
Her children are winning.
What happened to her cute babies?
Rolly and drooly and perfect?
Snuggly and soft and warm.
She sits on her bed and sighs
Overwhelmed
Scared
Alone
Not knowing what to do, or
how to win
this battle.

he thinks he's right but
he isn't, can't admit it
being wrong is hard.

the way it is

the way it is
is hard
sometimes easy
happy
sometimes sad
full of life
sometimes tired
sober
sometimes drunk
always in love with you
