Lessons of your past…inspired by my thumb
heal? (Photo credit: atomicity)
All this recent grating of thumbs (see here) and talk of (emotional) healing have got me thinking of the similarities of the two…
With the initial cut
The truth flows out
It stings
In defence you cover it
Quickly
To stop the stream
To buy some time
Eventually
The shield comes off
Ripped off or gently peeled
The raw wound is exposed
You have to face it
Let it air
Allow it to breathe
At first it’s alien
To look at- to feel
You avoid moving it
Too scared to hurt again
But in time it gets easier
You adjust
You accept it
And slowly the wound Shrinks
It starts to itch
Niggles
Reminding you that it’s there
To be careful in future
But it’s healing Slowly
And soon all that will remain
Is a numb scar
A battle wound
In time
Even that will fade
But its still there to remind you
Just less fresh
It becomes a part of you
A permanent mark
Of your journey
Of the lessons
Of your past

Cock Blocked
“No cock block” (Photo credit: dharder9475)
Cock Blocked
My phone
Iphone
Likes to cock-block me
Replies don’t send
To blogging friends
This makes me unhappy
Laptop time
And in I sign
To the wordpress site
A real test
It gets me stressed
I’ll try tomorrow night
Written as part of NaPoWriMo after a frustrating few days of my phone refusing to send any comments I’ve made throughout the day so apologies if you haven’t heard back from me for a day or 2…I am still here and I will catch up soon

A Real Treat
Well….its true…and it makes me feel a little better (we laughed today…A LOT 🙂 ) xB
Way
Another fabulous poem ….
‘Just because someone doesnt love you the way you want them to…doesnt mean they dont love you with everything they have’
The way you love me
every day by saying you do
sending me notes just
to say so
The way you love me
making me laugh a lot
whether I want to
or not
The way you love me
sharing the daily load
as we together
walk this road
The way you love me
more every day
I love that you
love me this way
Grate(!)
Grater (Photo credit: teachernz)
Be careful later
With your cheese grater
Maybe get help
From mum
As it wasn’t great
When my grater ate
Half my fucking
Thumb!
ouch!
*sadface*
