I could not have done this yesterday.
Nor the day before, or the
one before that, no.
Even though it meant that whatever
Whatever it is growing rapidly had extra time.
I could not have done this yesterday.
I pulled myself together and made a plan
and altered that plan the second it needed be.
I kept my head,
channeled my fear into anger
Not rage,
Anger.
Anger, while focused, can be productive.
Rage, always focused, never is.
Always is destructive..
I could not have done this yesterday.
I only hope I don’t have needed to anyway.
