Therapy by MwsR

Inside my tiny brain

Often things drive me insane

Like getting through my daily tasks

Or making sure that bill has been paid in the past

I struggle to answer questions

Like should I dress better, comb my hair,

Things that to my own self, may be unaware.

Looking around me at chores to do

Wondering if that is a golden rule

Never really taking time to eat

I’d rather think about my lack of sleep.

Contemplating if I should drink water,

Trying to be more healthy, if only in my mind.

Nothing satisfying really do I find.

Knowing that there are things that bring me happiness

If only I would choose to experience them.

Like birds singing, flowers blooming.

The sway of the wind through the trees

The caresses from my pets that bring me joy

The playful nature they have playing with their toys

Knowing all my bills are paid for the month

Having something satisfying to eat, if I choose

Hearing the running water sounds from my pool

Not having to deal with fools

Getting an “out of the ordinary” text from someone who cares for me

These things are the only therapy I need.

Poem

Just A Moment In Time. by MswR

The passing of the tap water over your fingers,
Each sound that’s listened to as you try to sleep.
Time is not ours to keep.
The smells you remember,
Talks on the phone,
Mostly it’s the times you’ve spent alone.
The opening of a new chip bag,
All the anticipation
Without the slightest frustration.
Mind murals I reflect on,
Things from a life that have come or gone.
Searching not one but all,
Passing someone down a hall.
Eating the best food,
Saving nothing for later,
It was a pleasure that did matter.
A favorite movie scene over and over,
The same joke told a thousand times,
The look in the mirror at a thousand lines.
It’s simple yet quick,
Effortless yet worth working for,
Our moments in time for us to savor once more.
