Honesty

Do I scream?

Do I laugh?

Do I cry?

If I’m being honest with myself, I’d like to do all three.

At the same time.

I can do this.

I can hold it together.

Everything will work out.

If I’m being honest with myself, I’d like to run away.

Very far away.

There is plenty of time.

I can prioritize things.

Nothing is that important.

If I’m being honest with myself, I’d like to stop.

Just stop doing.

I love my son.

I love my husband.

I love my friends.

If I’m being honest with myself, I’d like to be alone for a while

A week, a month, maybe longer.

There is an end in sight.

I can make it through this.

What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger.

If I’m being honest with myself, I’d like an easy life.

On a farm with chickens.
