The Survey Says
Try Again
Dear, whoever is listening.
I’ve found something missing.
My lover was caught kissing,
somebody new.
Who - doesn’t matter.
I hate being collateral,
damage, and damaged,
without a review
I mean, it’s like getting fired.
Just before you retire.
We’re moving in directions,
and there’s no room for you.
A survey would be nice.
You know I won’t think twice.
About listing out loud -
the areas - I think, that you could improve.
So, be nice-keep it clean.
No need being profane.
In my discrepancies list, I must insist -
certain words - not be attached to my name.
Then, if need be - I can change.
and make improvements to me.
Maybe find someone new - who,
doesn't like playing head games.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
