SCREAM!!!!!!
For the most part, I am a cheerful riser. Even though I was once informed by a roommate that “Shit” was the first thing she’d hear me say EVERY DAY following my alarm. (HA!)
Despite that fact, once sleep falls from my eyes the joyful state felt in slumber returns, with gratitude for another day.
A routine unfolds in a regular way, coffee; prayers; news; writing; sometimes a run; shower, then it’s off to Carpe Diem.
However, today was one of those days when my Diem Carped me.
In the midst of routine, an unexpected disappointment pierced my resolve, striking a nerve.
Horizon line fractured, frustration rolled in like storm clouds and seized my day.

Brightness turned grey
Throat closed, tears choked away
Words unspoken
actions delayed
Sighs of vexation
desires frayed
Wanting to SCREAM – all in vain
to remove this momentary pain.
