I live within myself

Let’s not fight today.
I’m tired.
Let’s schedule it for tomorrow.
Because my throat is raw
And my hands are still recovering
From last time
That I wrapped them around your neck.

Let’s not yell today.
The kids are sleeping
And I’m sick of waking them up.
We can yell tomorrow
Because it’s Friday
And they won’t have school the next day
And then we won’t have to dread a teacher’s call.

Let’s be nice today.
I’m too lazy not to be.
I don’t really want to raise my voice to you.
I do sometimes miss your smile.
So maybe we can talk softly today
And you can sit by my side
And we can act happy, or at least try.

I don’t have the energy to be sad.
I really feel a lack of emotion.
Anger has drained it all away
And I’ll have to take the time
To restock and recharge
Until tomorrow.
That can be our battle day.

What do you say?

These thoughts are written from the past, but thank you for caring. And while written in first person, they're not me speaking. Thank you both for the comments. At the same time - I hope you saw the satire.

Hey Endless, this is real good poetry. Loaded with commonly said gestures, but backed with real zingers in very stanza. Nice job.

If nothing is something
then everything is
our thoughts and feelings
and all that exists.
