Rebirth From Myself
A rediscovery of non-acceptance
I am exploding
Into a thousand bursting pieces.
Never-ending chores of never-ending misunderstandings
Talking to walls built high up to the sky —
I am fighting it out because I need to cry.
Where is the love I feel? Where is my sense of reality?
I feel the struggle and the tears
Shouting away in a long long despair.
Why is my ego refusing to break?
Why do I insist with my effing envy, again and again?
*
I embrace the inner child that was me long ago.
I sit with my feelings, I acquiesce to their sense.
Then I breathe, let them go, and transform into myself.
Rebirth is my need, a well-deserved break
From feeling guilty and not enough, again and again.

The Whiskered War
A domestic drama; rather, you're witnessing a millennium-old conflict over the fate of the entire planet (and possibly just a smA titanic struggle between wits and strength has been raging in the shadows for millennia: The Great Nibble vs. The Purrsecution. The cats, the furry fighters, the fascists of the feline world, occupy one corner. In the other, mice make up the squeaky squad, the small militia. The reward? Domination over the entire world (and possibly an especially tasty cheese wheel).
