They hold you down,
Deep into the ground,
Beyond the dirt,
Into the bedrock.
***
They keep you from moving,
From flying into the unknown,
The dangerous,
The unseeable.
***
You don’t fight it,
You don’t struggle.
You feel warmth,
You like how they wrap around you.
***
Even when others make faces at you,
It doesn’t faze you.
You dig deeper,
Deeper into the Earth.

A Date Two Ways
You stare at the mirror in your room, as you do each day, making sure everything is good to go before you go on your date. You’ve been anticipating this for a week now, the butterflies tickling your stomach. But two scenarios float in your mind, and you don’t know how it will turn out.

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.
