The mountains that had me overwhelmed has flattened to an open plain; I can stand in my situation It’s not what I see it to the air; have yet to receive it, my transition is near. My heart and mind is focused on keeping this vision in sight. It may appear impossible,
Taught you all that I knew Held nothing back from you Touched your scars so you can see them heal And your uncle with legions; restored from inner hell Your sister, whose condition was making her weak, With a touch of my garment her issue did cease I spat in your father ’s eyes, he saw men like trees Then saw men as they were meant to be And so your my witness in all the earth Share the message of the virgin birth
It is this idle time that gives leeway to dark contrary thoughts of financial woes, governmental conspiracy, emptying supermarket shelves, rising death tolls, etc. How can one hinder the stressors of our present state living situation from becoming overwhelming and falling into a state of depression when the news and social media is constantly giving stats on the rate of illness, reporting the number of deaths, and showing pictures of cars lined up at a food bank waiting to get something to take home to their families?! On top of this, there is an increase in individuals loosing their source of income and the unemployment telephone number is constantly blaring busy signals: making it impossible for someone to file or claim unemployment benefits. If you are going through anything similar to what I am experiencing, then trust you have others who completely understand the waking up in tears, the night sweats, the inability to fall asleep, the worrying over how bills will get paid, and how this ‘April’s distance equals May’s existence’ will truly impact our kids’ education …
My mother’s kiss on the forehead And the love of family I will overcome, one trial at a time Life lesson learned through personal experience: No family is perfect. We disagree, have miscommunications, don’t speak on a daily basis but when one falls ill the whole gang pulls together and for that I’m grateful. They are the annoying individuals that give you criticism and support all in one sentence.
