When I'm feeling weary and very hard to please
My face is looking dreary, I've got the CBB's

When everything is just too much and nothing cheers up me
Then I long for you to touch, to take away the CBB

When I'm seeking comfort in chocolate and cheese
I need withdraw within my fort, to flush out the CBB's

When the child in me alarms, wanting to be free
I need to rest in loving arms, to cure the CBB

When the day is much too long, caught by the CBB
Find someone, more than me strong, and shelter in their lee

If all else fails take a book and find a restful cozy nook
Nap awhile in that place, find a way to CBB erase
Then return to face the crowd, with serenity intact I laugh aloud
The Can't Be Bothered now is gone, I'm once more free to move along.

but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

Thanks Wil,
I was doing a double challenge so this one's weak, but readable.

Be well

Kethry, this is more than just readable, it was relatable. It brought a smile to my face and I really enjoyed it.

Dee, thanks so much for that comment. You should try my challenge. I think you'd do really well at it.
