A Clenched Fist…
Dec 25, 2022
My brain feels like that – a clenched fist
It’s been under pressure, strain and a lot of shit
That really it could do without
But no
That’s not life
People say it’s your attitude and response that matters
Yea but it’s not like you can toss out things
Emotions, situations and reality
Not when your reality has some dire implications
Sure, can be “positive” but not at the expense of being deluded
Depth matters but at what price?
Tough questions
The brain needs some respite, soon but not quite
Till the next tide and the next
Till death, and hopefully, rest
