So many epiphanies
How to put them into practice
I keep picturing Calvin and Hobbes
under the umbrella waiting for the school bus
I sure do invest a lot in telling myself I don't feel what I think I so often feel
I miss my dear, emotionally brave friends
Everything seems affected
Truthfully the reaching out felt worse than the retreating
I have been self-pitying
I have felt cynical and regretful; I have regressed
My ego has swelled like a raisin floating in sink water
I have met myself with permissiveness and understanding
Necessary, and necessarily time limited
