clamping thoughts
tightly restricted
against chaos
while I run rampant
with my needs

denied

told to take time
for self and
yet guilt follows
rapid succession
of breathing
required but

denied

hands pick to
lift burdens born
of others needs
but still to wipe
away greed of
seeds

denied

Tighter than a golf balls guts. Unwind, dive into a deep cool pool, pay for a massage, invest in a punching bag. At the least bury your face in a pillow and scream as loud and as long as you can until you laugh.

Lock yourself in the bathroom. Scream, cry, hide till calgon takes you away. Being unavailabe is hard when you are meeting others needs. Especially loved ones. Great expression of tension. I hope you have a day for yourself this weekend. You deserve it.

Sincerely,
Regina
