Mixed Feelings
Should I be happy, scared, or something else?
I'm scared but excited,
slightly guilty too.
I need to put my health first
but I feel bad for needing my time.
*
Fear:
Will I lose my job?
Will I heal properly?
How hard will recovery be?
*
Excitement:
Will I be free of strep forever?
Will the sore throats go away?
Will the pain be gone forever?
*
Am I overthinking this,
like everything else?
Everything will go smoothly,
right?

Voices of the People.
In the grand amphitheater of human history, Where the clamor of ambition and the murmur of hope Intertwine like threads in a vast tapestry, There rise the voices of the people, A chorus of dreams and struggles, A symphony of aspirations and discontent, Echoing through the ages, Resounding through the corridors of time.

Second Tuesday of November
No one knew how the event really started. Between a few beverages at the bar, maybe? Notes passed carefully on the street? Or, perhaps a secret meetup at early hours of the day? Whatever the root source was, we were here now on the second Tuesday of November. Nervous, but also absorbed by the allure.
