Care About Me
from 
The Poet Sky
I care too much
Obsessed with the idea that everyone should be happy I toss my own feelings aside Even when I try To say “This is how I feel” It's so easy for my words to be lost in the waves of other's feelings
When I try I fail So how can I ever learn to succeed?
I need to listen to my body to her needs I need to honor my boundaries I need to remember it's okay to struggle now so I can be better later
I care about everyone else It's time to start caring about me

Mar 21, 2024 – new buds
Dormant potential
Setting things in motion. New
Emergence of Life
Mar 22, 2024 – bliss + Spring grass
The sun a soft touch
Mossy grass brushing my toes
Time suspended... Sigh...
Mar 23, 2024 – sprouts
Out of its shell
What it will be still unknown
Mysterious wonders
Mar 24, 2024 – Spring sky
Sun between the hail
dances through the clouds, timid
Waltz of the Spring sky
Mar 25, 2024 – low tide
The receding line,
just for a moment, unveils
the whole world below
Mar 26, 2024 – reading
I can read your eyes
Though your lips say otherwise
Partial soul eclipse
Mar 27, 2024 – frogs
Just one skillful jump
Onto its lily pad stage
Frog sings to the night
Mar 28, 2024 – long day
That was a long day
Come on it's not over. Now
Dance the night away
Mar 29, 2024 – thunder
Dark clouds electric
In bright light heavens roar. Hear
its thunderous gist
Mar 30, 2024 – trickle
The once gushing creek
Sadly trickles down the hill
Leaving only tears
