Loving/Loathing the Thyroid Sized Alien
Heather has a Bachelor's Degree in English from Moravian College and has been freelance writing for more than 12 years.
Unable to formulate a plot or narrative for the day
Beyond putting one foot literally in front of the other
Sadly, this now included tripping over the foot
Every five to ten minutes down a long hallway
Words garbled without 10 shots of Fireball being inhaled
Ready to turn into Mr. T or Rambo when pushed too far
Pitying the fool who crossed this once docile chickadee
Fed up with being told that my emotional outbursts
And feats of a screeching anxiety ridden cat were too much
A rather unnecessary reaction to minor taps on the shoulder
Told by multiple people that calming down was important
Essential for good health and ultimate relaxation
What a joke that is! Laughing every time told to calm down
How can you relax when your brain turned into the Tasmanian Devil?
Tearing up hotel rooms just because the bellboy looked at him funny
Instead of giving him a shoddy tip; decided to make him earn paycheck
Television flew out of 20 story window into the swimming pool below
Tears streaming down the face of an emotional fool without reward
Deemed a crazy irrational fool by the masses for too long
Know deep down that there's a physical undercurrent going on
A medical shark swimming upstream to all vital organs
Tearing every rational thought and feeling to shreds
A ravenous creature who can't get enough of my insides
Pushed to the brink of being a shell of their formerly vivacious self
Ordered by doctors and family members to get with the program
Struggling to pinpoint where Jaws was hiding or napping
And harpoon the living daylights out of that monstrosity
Destroy the hidden passenger and bury him in the past
Need to find some modicum of normalcy
Now that's there is a reason to
A partner who made it worth getting up in the morning
Time to live up to a private promise to get better
This time for good.
