your fav’rite team is playing/
and you forget it.

Expectation Faith: Haiku

I can’t do what you/
expect. I’m not who you think./
At least not yet. Faith.

… Not yet. Please have faith.

When did I become/
an empath, feeling so deep/
what folks feel? Now what?

When did I become/
an empath, feeling deeply/
what folks feel? Now what?

You might ask God what/
to do. He might tell you. You/
might change. God might like.

It’s time to express/

my opinion instead of/

just hearing others.

When folks say you can’t/
see all your best body parts?/
Not a compliment.

When she says I can’t/
see all my best body parts?/
Not a compliment!

Why do we think that/
not doing something means not/
doing anything?

Why do we feel that/
not doing something means we/
don’t do anything?

Why do we think that/
not doing one thing means we/
should do nothing?

My revolution/

resolution cost me naught/

but a reframed view.

I spent years like this:/

Edge of bed. Curled up. But not/

with her. This hurts worse.

Before, I had angst/
to reach out my hand. Now, I/
fear op’ning my mouth.
