thursday

with disappointment and forgiveness

in my heart

i do not have an answer

for you

for myself

so i will take my time

to figure out my feelings

******

we become a cliche

self-help books

inexplicable fears, anxieties

we keep in our coat pockets

hashing them out in front of a stranger

during once a week therapy sessions

at least i don't have to take care of a litter box

or have a book club

i'm close though
