I got caught
In a pit.
A bottomless abyss;
Stuck.
In.
Honey.
Oh she seemed so sweet!
That first taste; sticky
Mixed with deceit.
Intoxicating.
In.
Toxic.
Honey.
And people told me,
“You should be
Sooooo
Happy!”
Well, instead I got angry.
And let me tell you, a little bit of anger goes a
Loooong way! A fire that burns away impurities and reveals gold.
Because sometimes,
Anger in just the right dose
Can cure the toxic affects of sweet deceit. And so,
After I pulled myself up and out–
I looked down…
In sympathy.
Because, the truth is:
There are so many like me struggling to get free…
Looking forward to a new adventure into the unknown, unpredictable and entirely absurd wondrous world we call home. Wishing us all a healthy new year!
With peace and cheer,
