Toss the Map
Life is a funny thing. We create all of these grand plans in our hearts and we can see them come to fruition in our minds eye. These images and hopes and dreams are crystal clear; we know what we have to do and how we have to do it to achieve our end goal.…
Why?
I am being haunted by Why’s, Why this? Why me? Why now? And they chase me down and create a tightness in my chest, Suffocating me. Preventing me from seeing happiness, From being able to bear the sight of it at all. Why are other people so happy when all I feel is despair?…
