Wallowing

Humm,

I am in the Wallowing-
there I find my best and worse.

Pity-Wallow is where I focus
all on myself and go inward
for long moments of pity-filled indulgence of self.

Sorrow-Wallow allows me to grieve
on my own terms, yet not really suffer
too much.
 
Wallow-Defeats are my best
and where I re-learn over and over again
lessons I forget.

Good Wallow where I come out the other end better-
Down is the best way Up;
Out is the best way Back and such.
 
Wallow-Despair is the path to Happiness-
if you Wallow quietly and accept
that a Good Wallow is where you
plan for the Wallow-Through
not stop and rest amid your Wallowings.

As my Mother used to say:

'Cry and Wallow that's ok
but use the time to plan to get
back on your feet again.'
A good Wallow is a terrible thing to waste.'
