Life forever felt like a struggle
We were constantly despised
Together we slowly gathered
– We aren’t the freaks I realised
The tribes became a legion
We held hands and joyously cried
All wishing for a better life
– We aren’t the freaks you realised
With a quiet determination
And through all the things we tried
So we came to change the world
– We aren’t the freaks we realised
Inspired by a thought by Norman Brannon in the Anti-Matter Anthology
Today I’m feeling:
Pretty good again. I did sleep an hour beyond my alarm but was able to force myself to exercise again.
I want to vacuum my room and sit and do some writing, if possible today. Admittedly, I don’t feel like writing when I’m at home, preferring to be in a cafe where there are less distracting options.
Today I’m grateful for:
The carrot cake that Amy made whilst I was drinking my coffee this morning. After a couple of hours in the fridge, I ate it for my dinner.
The best thing about today was:
Getting lots of things done in my room today, including vacuuming up all the dried-up lizard shit.
I read a bunch of poetry, wrote three new poems and started analysing some texts for a blackout poem. I only managed to play a little guitar because I got distracted talking with Team in Bangkok about his latest EP and then figuring out whether to make some CDs for it too.
I also got a little bit of work done and prepared for this coming week.
What was out of your control today and how did you handle it?
Despite getting lots done, I still ran out of time with lots of other little things having to wait.
Something I learned today?
94% of the USA want to end the war in Ukraine. But they don’t get to decide that.
