The self loathing is seeping from my pores

Insidious in its intent to destroy me from within

A lithe creature winding its way around my throat

Choking out my sense of self worth

\\\\\\\\

As surely as a python suffocates its prey

writing prompt 2/4/23

What is your ideal weekend, and why?

Waking up beside someone I love

Cooking breakfast for the family with someone I love

Listening to Caleb play the piano while I/we read

If it’s a sunny day, an outing to the beach or desert

If it’s a dreary day, games and puzzles, maybe a podcast or two

Reading out in the sun with people I love

Sit-down dinner with my loved ones

A walk in the fog in the evening after dinner

Why?

Because any time spent with loved ones is ideal to me

Because I wouldn’t be alone.

Because I enjoy both sunshine and dreary days alike.

Because listening to Caleb play piano is my happy place.

Because it’s important to get out of the house.

Because family dinners are important to me.

Because walking in the fog makes me happy.

Because Saturday mornings are for family breakfasts

And dreary days are made for puzzles and games.

Because life alone gets depressing,

And I want to spend time with people I care about.

Because nobody should have to spend life alone

When they have so much love to give.
