Menopause

Menopause uggg

Adam was given work for his sin
Eve was given the privilege to produce kin

Never once was menopause mentioned 
Who created this invention?

They say get an ablation, it’s the best thing since apple pie
You’ll stop bleeding and you don’t have to try 


What they don’t tell you is, it doesn’t always work 
But heck, the no cramping is a perk!!

Whatever!! It threw me right into the change
My life seems a little nuts in exchange
My kids think I’m lazy but in actuality I’m a lot crazy 

I don’t sleep, and I  stay wide awake
My moods are all over so the niceness is all fake 

I wake in a pool of sweat 
Only to later freeze, throw me the net !!

Oh the hot flashes are real 
It’s great for sex appeal 

The man says you must be hot  for me
I just roll over and say no, I gotta pee

Weight gain is going at turbo speed
Chocolate is the number one need. 

I just want to be left alone and not bothered 
Give me peace and I’ll be honored 

Don’t wish for periods to end
You’ll never be right again my friend.

The Lake

The blue water of the the lake slowly flows by bringing  a  peaceful feeling 

My inner peace is coming to life, which the stress has been concealing 

The calm of the trees, finally green from spring, and the blossoms springing from the ground, is so serene

I’m breathing in the air slowly and enjoying the scene 

The tranquil breeze touches my face causing me to breathe deeply  and close my eyes 

I’m  enjoying the still and quiet  as all my anxiety quickly dies

The birds have started chirping , the heron has come out to play
  
I can now enjoy the lake for another precious day

Flawed

I look in the mirror and know I am BROKEN 
People have told me with the words that were spoken

Innocence was taken and traded with guilt in its place
Being raised Catholic, it was hard to look at my face

I am now FLAWED , not wholesome or pure
I have lived years giving off a FACADE, while I endured

I created an ILLUSION that everything was fine
While slowly inside, I was losing my mind

I took medicine to deal with the suffering and mental pain 
But the feelings are still there, they still remain

I walk through life wearing a MASK of the real me
Only ones that really know me, can really see

I feel TORN with the truth and the skeleton in hiding 
But I enjoy the security it is providing

I know we are all  IMPERFECT  and not quite right
I am learning to accept who I am without a fight

My story has been CRACKED
In the meantime, I hope other people will not be attacked

Rachel

Rachel

Oh Rachel, my most valued 
friend

You were taken to soon in the end

Are first it was breast cancer that you were bound to beat

The radiation burnt you from the heat 

They took your breasts and tried to recreate

But something went wrong and you were ok with your fate

They couldn’t do the reconstruction but you were okay

You would live through another day 

Fast forward and you were cleared for a year

It brought a lot of joy and cheer

To celebrate you went on a cruise

You knew you had nothing to lose 

During the vacation something was not right

It brought you into yet another fight

Pancreatic cancer, stage one, it won’t be that bad you said 

But soon there would be tears to shed 

By the time the surgery was to happen, it went to stage four

They said there was nothing they could do for you anymore 

You lived only a few months from that day

We are all left here to continue to pray

You gave with your heart and always lent an ear 

Always so happy and never had fear

As you fought, you had kindness and grace

Always calming others and never a sad face 

The one thing you asked was to take care of your boys

The cancer didn’t care what it destroys 

My heart and mind thinks of you all the time 

Taking you too soon was a crime.

The Phone

The phone doesn’t ring. The texts don’t ping

Alone in. MY thoughts alone in my mind. I never know what I’m going to find

I think I’m depressed but maybe it’s just me  I think I’m stuck but maybe I’m free 

I’m not sure if the feelings are mine or the feeling of others 
The feeling of life  or the life that smothers 

I lay in bed thinking I’m tired, but never asleep 
Sometimes I’m sad but never weep

I can’t understand the feelings that fill me up 
I want to experience a full cup. 

Truth is, I don’t know how to feel right anymore 
Sometimes it’s easy just to want to walk out the door

I’m not suicidal or even wanting things to end
Sometimes I want my life to be a little different or to transcend

Paranoid Or Normal

I see you respond to a comment with a like or laugh, mine wasn’t acknowledged

I see you getting together with friends, I wasn’t included

I write texts  that go unanswered and calls never returned. 

I sit In the dark reading books distracting myself from my own thoughts

I wonder if others think these thoughts or if they are mine alone. 

I  wonder silently if I disappeared would anyone notice

I think I could be better but don’t want to try

I look at the ceiling and it has a stopping point

Do I ?

What Is Love

What is Love? 

What is love?
Is it the red of the rose in full bloom?

What is love? 
Is it the moon smiling on your face?

Is love when someone likes another more then themselves?

Is it when you can do better, be better, are better with somebody lifting you up? 

Is love an emotional or physical connection? 

Is love meant to last or wither with the rose?

Is love admiration and adoration towards someone? 

Is love just complacency and routine ? 

Does love really exist or is it all apart of something ideal? 

What is love?
