Poetry by Renee - 9. Taking Action

A heavy weight on my shoulders
A tenseness through my limbs
Heart thudding in my chest
Tears sneaking past my lids
A lump in my throat
And unable to catch my breath

I must take action
Need to do it now

Release the tension
Remove the weight
Time to catch my breath
And stop the tears
Hope for numbness
And to no longer care

One thing will fix it all
And it's just half of one little pill

Powerful poem, my girl. Is this from another time... or now? I don't like you feeling like this way. Keep your head high, find focus, and reach out when things start to decline.

i'm trying, tim, i really am. We even went for a drive yesterday to get away from everything and keep my mind off things, but when we got home, it was still there...waiting. :hug: (Though the drive wasn't a total wash, we went to a nature preserve and despite there being NO animals where we could see them Hubby did find me some new hats and when i couldn't pick one, He bought all three!)

He definitely is, i won the Hubby lottery with Him. It's so hard to find the kind of hats i like, so when He found three of them, ALL in Pink Camo, He just bought em all. Right now, He is building a walkway to scare the kiddies on Halloween (after building me displays for GRL).

Hang in renee. The pill is only temporary. You have to find strength and courage from within. Trust me, I get it. xo

Thank you, jp. i definitely need to find better ways to cope when my emotions get the best from me. Sometimes i think that maybe i'm not all that strong. xoxo

:hug: Even if you can’t feel it right now, you are a strong and wonderful person, Renee. I see it in your interactions and friendships with people  - myself included - on GA. :hug: 

 

As for your poem? The strength and resolve of your spirit comes through clearly. :)
