I Believe This May Be the Doldrums

What words do people use to describe you? I'm never satisfied It's top shelf words Feedback all good But this painful narrative I've got going on I am so unkind to myself The engaged faces, the words, the seeking me out. All the evidence required but I'm beneath the surface You think you can reach me But it's just your own reflection

the horse latitudes are the trade winds and the key is patience and the ability to do an acceptance walkabout.....i play with Pollyanna at times until the sails fill once again....you have a great ability to convey what is within....
