Life: beautiful and awful in the same instant
Love and hatred in a heartbeat
In the blinking of an eye
Except I cannot hate
So I feel sadness
Physical pain
And the strain of caring
Then I wish I were like you
Not the cuckoo in the nest
So that I might shut my doors
Close my eyes and only see myself
Every day I wonder how I came to be like me

Hello Bee. Hope you had a lovely Christmas and New Year.

This is really honest stuff and I like the symmetry of its shape. I'm with you I think. New Year always makes me maudlin. This year no exception.

Thanks for reading. I am grateful for your time.
