Lately I put up fronts.
Wear masks of okay.
Most people think I'm doing fine
but really I hate the day.

Society and economy.
I'm borderline insane.
A breaking point.
A life mundane.

And really if not
for certain folks
I'd be outta here
without much coax.

I love my girls.
Can't leave them like my mom left me.
But there's a dark horizon here
and there's nothing much else to see.

I try. And try.
Who will love me now?
Defeat seems fate
should I gracefully bow?

Or keep going on day after day
hating the breathing,
when people are much too uncaring
and moreso deceiving

but I try. If only for my girls, I try.

Dixie

You got to hang in there for the girls,  your time will come & then you can go for it big time....But I just realised, come the day they will be asking you..where you going, who with, what time will you be home etc....payback time I guess !

Dear ((((Dixie)))), may you enjoy breathing again and have new reasons for loving your life. May you feel the Angels' touch guiding you in your courageous attempt to reorganize your existence, together with your daughters.

Your impressive words linger in my heart.

love and hugs
Margherita

Again...two things come to mind:

1.  Apparently one expression that Winston
    Churchill favored was "Keep buggering on!"
    [he was plagued by what he called his
     'black dog' (life-long depression)
     and, by his 50's was pretty much
     'written off' as a failure...yet,
     look what he went on the accomplish!]

2. That grand German painting (the "Krahe")
   which features a v. weather-worn crow
   (wearing boots) steadfastly trudging
   across seemingly endless cornfields.
