Priorities

When with friends we smile and say

Forget the work and cease the day

We need love to guide the way

So call in sick or stay away

Before, with stress, you fade away

So with friends we smile and stay

Tomorrow’s work will go away

If you doubt it, then look away

You need a love to guide your way

Can you question what I say,

That priorities have gone to hay?

When with friends we smile say,

We no longer need love to guide the way!

Countdown (168)

If I start a countdown now

That doesn’t make me horrible

It just makes me tired

Sick of the pain and heartbreak

It’s a purposeless fight

Burning through energy

I could use so much more

Time better spent elsewhere

If there is a reason

I can’t find it

Like a vestigial organ

No longer needed

Why should I suffer

If I will never

Bare a mother’s fate?

I don’t need to suffer

To be a woman

If I will never be a mother

As Lady MacBeth said

Unsex me here

Please?
