Yeah, Me Neither
Blame It on The Full Moon
Have you ever had a dream that you were sitting on the toilet, then were jolted awake with the warm, horrible realization that you weren’t?
Yeah, me neither.
Blame it on the full moon.
Have you ever had a dream that you were being dipped in a vat of liquid slime, only to wake and realize your dog was licking your feet?
Yeah, me neither.
Blame it on the full moon.
Have you ever had a dream you were having a heart attack; the unbearable pressure bearing down on you, making breathing near impossible, then awoke to discover your twenty-pound cat sleeping on your chest?
Yeah, me neither.
Blame it on the full moon.
Have you ever had a dream that you won the lottery, only to be awoken by the buzzing sound of your alarm clock barking at you to get up for work?
Yeah, me neither.
Blame it on the poverty.
Have you ever had a dream you were sleeping on a glacier, then awoke to a blinding white light and soul crushing headache that even the cool porcelain bowl you were cuddled with couldn’t cure?
Yeah, me neither.
Blame it on the booze.
Have you ever had a dream that you were a prolific author raking in millions, then awoke to find you’ve written a poem that is perhaps the silliest thing in the history of silly things?
Yeah, me too.
Blame it on the Vocal prompt.

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.
