I'm angry and sad and want to run away so badly. I can't though. It's not just me. Maybe I'm in denial. Maybe running won't really help anyway. Maybe if you run you run in a circle and end up where you started. This is exactly how I feel. I’m angry and sad and want to run away so badly. I can’t though. It’s not just me. Maybe I’m in denial.

I need to get out of my vicious circles. I need to get out of the rut of doing nothing and into the rut of doing everything. All my friends are in a rut and then they're out and everything in the world is perfect, then the dread fate drama falls upon them again, and I am once again the hapless pyschologist. i need to get out of my head and on the road to somewhere where I can distract myself.

feeling trapped and alone
she glances at her home tree
its branches, like claws to her soul
one last cry on leaving
her powerful wings cut the air.
as she soars through moonlight skies
looking, searching
her graceful wings beating
to find her final place of rest
each branch she spies she settles
then rises once more
for none feel right
until she sees a warm
open, loving tree
its branches thick and safe
she perches
and breathes
and sleeps
on a branch, once a claw
now a hand
wrapping her in the security she needs.
she is home.

He needs friends like me. And he has plenty. I need to stop this sic feeling thats inside of me that tears up my soul and makes the world seem terrifying and just unlivable.

But there is a different set of predators now. We need to learn that we can walk away from some things and not be eaten by tigers. Literally and metaphorically.
