Negative feelings don't have to look negative.
Today sucks.
Bad decisions backing me into a corner.
Panicked actions leaving piles of mess at my feet.
Sweet fearful faces turning to me for reassurance.
I play my first role.
Emotionless, unflappable.
Letting accusations, manipulations, & threats roll off me.
I play my second role.
Vulnerable, empathetic.
Letting them drain my strength so they can keep going.
I play my third role in private.
Finding moments of peace
In single word conversations.
I show up everyday.
Three rotating roles.
Tomorrow will be better.
