I Sigh

I sigh when I say good morning 
And I’m stuck listening to the
Negativity and problems of
Someone else's day
I sigh when my computer
Runs slow or the internet crashes
That puts me behind
In my work
I sigh at how the
Cost of living is rising quickly
Without any remorse for
The elderly
I sigh at how the
Minimum wage is 
So low that the people can
Barely make ends meet anymore
I sigh at the virus
That keeps evolving into
Something new each time
Disrupting our daily lives

Truly we do listen to the negativity of another’s day and sometimes have participated too. Boy it is hard to hear someone go on and on and I regret the times I have done so. Sigh… Congratulations!

AT TIMES EVERYONE NEEDS A LISTENING EAR BUT TO GO ON AND ON ABOUT THE SAME THING IS HEARTING.

I wouldn’t be sighing, I would be hitting something from frustration. Well said
