Sucking my teeth…
had a rough week of peopling
didn’t find what I was seeking
cursed the air and coddled my feelings
cried on the inside and was unkind
in thoughts and sought chocolate and
received solace in Pandora saving my life
raising serotonin on a deeply cellular level
thank heaven for throwback tunes smoothing
my ruffled feathers gathering this Heather keeping
one from becoming undone and unglued as I
weathered the blues and basked in lavender
Epsom salt baths with eucalyptus drops and
caught myself daydreaming of better days and
cheating the moment whispered affirmations
confirmation of my impatience while soaking in
my sentiments exhaling I give in
knowing I’m gone be alright
