Do Not Judge

I bring my funky self to this keyboard,

this friend

Who records my myriad moods

Silently.

I am grateful for the silence..

How often well meaning friends say

“You shouldn’t feel that way,

Yadda,yadda”

Don’t tell me how I should feel.

Ever.

Most of the time my feelings are all

Jumbled; .

A little bit of this, a little bit of that.

Even contradictory,

Right now the stew contains some sorrow;

Book club minus Mary Jo...

Some loneliness; aware of my aloneness.

Peacefulness; aloneness means no tension,

I do not judge me by what I feel.

Envy.
