Circle Box

One of those (many) days. I'm not all that easy to get rid of, so fear not (or fear, whichever).

        Circle Box

Most of the time I think,
let me die in my sleep.
Don't hand me your pity
or, worse, your shrink.

Dishes, laundry, floors,
windows, weeds, walks,
floors, laundry, dishes,
a circular box.

What I mean is,
what difference do I make?
Don't kill me in my sleep -
let me live while awake.

Excellent writing here. Gripping in its honesty. I think most of us feel something like this at times. Getting out of the box for an hour a day saved my life. We are all unique and all have a far reaching purpose. If you have a pulse, you have a purpose. In Sincerity, J'nia

This is really well-written-really. I think living is the difference we make. Many people had no idea that my brother saved so many lives in AA and NA until he passed recently and people came up and told us that, a packed house for his wake. Sometimes, like my brother, people don't see it IS in the common thing, the small things, that make all the difference in the world. Excellent writing. It really touched me.

how we value ourselves is really all that matters and will determine our outcome ...

Take 'you' out of the equation and see what difference is made. Sometimes its just all too much. Know the feeling. When its all done, break out of the box-if only for a day. Great write...

Dear Julie, I took a poll and 99.4 percent said that
you make a helluvalot of difference. And since you say
you never sleep, well... -gene.

Sometimes life does seem to be never-ending work. But there will be time to sit and enjoy that good feeling of accomplishment. One has to grab it in snatches, though.
