No One is Perfect

Today

My

Mind

Is

Jumbled.

Even as I sit outside,

Sipping tea

And hearing the birds,

With the sun lightly shining on my face.

Sometimes I am attached to misery-

Or upset.

Even though I know

It’s ridiculous.

And that at the end

I will laugh at myself-

At the very end I mean.

Sometimes the soup is sticky,

And i just can’t seem to turn on the shower...

Not yet.

So I sit with my tea

And feel justified

In my anger.

While the birds

Look at me knowing I don’t understand how to

Truly

Live

I’m posting this because no one is perfect. Everyone has moments or days where the smiles fail...and even hope wears thin. EVERYONE. I put a lot of pressure on myself in these moments to remember how far I have come. To remember I beat cancer. To remember I am alive!

But sometimes I just have to give myself a break and let myself sit in the soup until the feelings pass. And during this time just try my best not to attach myself or ANY meaning to the thoughts.

It’s just a storm. And the birds are still singing...and the sun is patiently waiting for my gaze to see more clearly...forgiving all my humanness.

No one is perfect.
