GETTING OVER MY INSECURITY:
I am trying to get over
Being insecure.
It began back in 2018, when I lost my son,
Need I say more?
It was and still is such heartache.
My writing has not been the same.
No phone calls or emails from John
Over in Sunny Spain.
Then this pandemic hit us.
Everyone has gone through hell.
I live totally alone these days,
That to you I can tell.
I could go for days or weeks
Without seeing a living soul.
But am present trying to get my life back,
Well! that folks is my goal.
I go for walks daily now,
Although I still wear a mask.
I venture out early mornings,
Before commencing my household tasks.
You see I want my life back,
Insecure as I may be.
To wear a smile upon my face.
And again be the REAL me.
Have a great September.

Losing a child is a huge life derailment and I am so sorry you had to go through it. The missing them is the biggest thing.
ReplyDeleteI am vaccinated and still wear masks in public. I am glad for masks but am tired, too, of not being able to see faces. Hang in there! I mean, people need to see my gorgeous face before it gets any older. ha ha.

Thank you Teresa for your comment, I too have been vaccinated and wearing a mask not only help protect me from the virus but it also covers the wrinkles that adorn my face.....lol

You've had a very long rough patch. But your blog shows your poet skills, your joy, your feelings, and your humanity. I feel the smile in it. Take care!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Joanne, we all have problems but the secret is "Hope To Cope With Them" I guess.

Losing your son and then having the pandemic hit must have made the pain of losing him so much harder. I'm glad you're trying to get your life back. Me too. I don't want to be alone so much either.
ReplyDeleteThanks Natalie, I can only relate to how you are feeling, there are many worse off than myself ,

I think after a year and a half of this mess, we all want our lives back. At least you are getting out for walks now.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Alex, everyone have suffered and still is. The walks are good but the apartment feels like a prison at times.
DeleteHave a wonderful September....Autumn nearly here.

I am so sorry for your loss. Having also experienced a loss, I can only say, we are as strong as we let ourselves be. Covid has not helped, but there IS still brightness in life. We have to challenge ourselves to keep our eyes open to it. Best to you.
