Im supposed to be marking essays, but my head is a mess, and my heart feels heavy. Can't focus.

You look on
with troubled eyes,
no place for your pain to hide.
Gripped by melancholy,
I understand it
in #parallels,
a mirror of my own.
Would a shoulder
lessen the burden?
Or the ache remain
unchanged?
A burden shared
is a burden still.
I fear
there is little I can do.

I still dream about people who seem so far out of reach now. I wonder if they knew how much they meant to me?

I found some satisfaction
in possessing a blade.
Imagining,
that perhaps the next time,
unlike so many before,
could harbor
some finality.

Strange how the mind can become rabid with a hunger for death.

Quiet summer evening,
the fifth tea pot of the day
pours generously into my cup.
My grandmother adds a splash of milk,
my tastes shaped by hers,
the perfect brew swirls before me.
A dream held in bone china,
a warm memory
of unconditional love,
and the one place
I ever truly felt safe.

Some time away from socials. I never know what I expect to get out of it. Work has been rewarding, challenging, tiring. I'm grieving the loss of familiarity, feeling loneliness i had hoped not to feel again for a long time... I know good things will come. It's hard to just wait and see, though.

I am grateful to know truly kind and caring fathers. When your own sets the bar so low, it can tarnish your view of fatherhood and the world in general. It's always a breath of fresh air to see dads out there being awesome, present, and excellent role models for their daughters. It gives me hope.

Do you ever think about the centre of the stairwell,
the too fast traffic
outside your home,
the Wilkinson sword
tucked in the back of the cabinet?
Funny little things.
Funny little feelings.
I wonder
why are they on my mind,
Again?

I wonder how long it takes for someone to truly know you.

The warmth of light in eyes new to this world,
the melody of laughter so pure and sweet,
little hands, little legs, curious and adventurous,
I adore you,
I hope for you,
I see you in the future that fills my daytime dreaming.

How are we all finding our peace these holidays? I'm endeavouring to visit some places that bring me calm. Maybe avoid overdosing on social interaction a little...
