Author: women who think too much

I don’t like
eggs that are slimy and
lunch meat turned green.
Boys who are so nice and
girls who are so mean.
Ghosts who shout BOO
under my bed as I sleep,
bad dreams that linger and
sweet dreams I can’t keep.
Sluts who flirt with my man
while I’m standing so near.
A mirror reflecting my fat which
I didn’t even know was there.
Friends that are not
but I thought they were.
A hurt that won’t heal
a disease with no cure.
Alligators who get caught
and cut into Gator Bites,
sad end for a tough guy
who survived many fights.
Idiots who don’t even look
before turning
right at red lights.
Getting lost on roads
that I used to know.
A bad haircut, cause
my hair grows so slow.

This little note is from Belinda. I love looking up and seeing it. She reminds me daily I am loved and talented! Thank you 💗 Belinda 💗 for always being an encourager! I love you sweet B! ❤️💗

Visited you today
Just dropped in unannounced
Stepped into your pain and
Slid through your confusion
Visited you today
Don’t know if you felt me slip in
Through my favorite door
You were unguarded
So, perhaps you felt my love.

Happiness slithered

up my arm today

sneaking into my head

and then it warmed my heart.

Didn’t even recognize

the feeling

it startled me, so rare

so alien to me

I was happy today,

I was.
