Batteries Not Included


tension pulls
stretching need
beyond reach

dead cells scoffing
feeling the disrespect
in hushed tones
waiting

a racing heart
the only sound
a thousand tears
draining

feeling the aloneness
under my skin
standing lost
waiting

tripping the day away

had a very busy yesterday...

oil change
blood tests
bill paying....

dead battery...
stuck in parking lot
waiting
waiting
waiting

AAA

waiting
waiting
waiting

charged just enough
to get to Advance Auto
to die again
and buy and have installed a
new battery

but today it is I
that feels drained

and such is life.  unjust that it may be at times...

remember my satan van?  The battery went dead once and my son put in a new one...but didn't "lock it down"  by time I figured out why I was stalling out every time I made a turn the battery cable was fried!! good times...and a lesson learnt.  We learn from everything...even it it's just that we need help or encouragement.  

I hope your today and tomorrow is brighter!

Still chuckling about Sunshine's reply.  But seriously, I do know the feeling you wrote so well.  I try to get a few moments meditation during those trying times in life.  I just slip away from it all.

And I thought this was going to be reviewed...

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
