There’s chinks in the armour
Some cracks in the veneer
The aggressive smiles fading
Reality becomes clear

Self-sabotage and betrayal
Words cannot be returned
Trailing long behind
All those people that were burned

Social power has waned
It’s time to turn away
The blame lies unresolved
Whilst whispers have their say

Normal is an illusion. What is normal for the spider is chaos for the fly.

Gratitude Journal

I am so happy and grateful that Cap is eating and acting normal again. Also for the delicious wholegrain bread Nut gave me yesterday. Ate it all already.
