I enter a bar,
Like time travel I go far.
Pac-Man goes too fast.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

Omggg, how dare they call you slow?! I'm so sorry that happened! But maybe you can start playing Pac Man again. Or any other games that require thinking. That's how I dealt with my depression in 2021
Great poem. It’s funny how certain things can take you back to another time. I’m sorry someone called you slow - that’s not cool. I don’t think people think before they speak.
Powerful! You took me back to elementary school with that game! So inspiring Susan! Thx 4 sharing! 🌸
This makes perfect sense.
Some people say things without realizing how they affect others. Take care of yourself, Susan. Do whatever needs to be done to give yourself enough love and recharge, playing Pac-Man or else.
Oh, the memories these 3 lines bring
