Lumpy oatmeal makes me crazy!

I went through a period of time when I wrote poems like this.  It was not a happy time - and I used words to get out all the feelings, but they just seemed to drive me deeper into a place I didn't need to be.  I am not saying this is you, Dixie.  However, your last three poems remind me of ... me.  I know when I get down too deeply, I just have to pull myself out.  I would not presume to suggest you do that, because I don't know what motivated these poems.  I just know that they are dark and sad.

LOL, probably not, Dixie.  I really wish I knew how to make you smile though.  ((Hugs))

I get it. You're pissed and seem to want to stay pissed for a while. Nothing anyone can do about that but wish you happier days.

I have been in that place ... far too often ... where you are perhaps right now ... I am so very sorry if that be the case ...
if you are on the event horizon of that ultimate 'black hole' ?!

I believe that 'words' are the only inexhaustible source of true 'magic' in this world ...

I only know that I have often escaped the pipes of doom and personal Armageddon  by writing, writing, writing !

No... but then... I'm blonde? *S*

Sending hugs, dear lady... and hopes that better days come soon for you.

I get it, I got it, I hated it and know I will get it again.  Makes me feel invisible.
I can so relate. Hang in there and breathe.
