"Termination"

 

by Jeph Johnson

 

Given an expiration date much closer to now than later, coupled with the anxiety that manifests in me, I want to hyper-focus on my goals. 

 

When those goals are dealt a setback I'm completely stifled. Nothing else seems fun or even practical; this includes living. I feel unworthy because I continue toiling in futility.  

 

This sounds like I'm complaining. I am.  

Pissed that I cannot do what I want to do. Even the things I want to do by myself require the help of others.  

 

This is called not being viable.  

 

This is the tipping point where nature says it's okay for termination.

Watching For A Resolution

A different connotation. Everything has a price - with or without help, sole or collective - inhale/exhale. That's all I got.

It's Christmas. Have a great yule tide!

  So many are experiencing

 

So many are experiencing what you describe.... unable to get tools they need... money or food they need.... jobs they need..

God have mercy and bless all beings

Thank you for a powerful poem
