A peaceful day?
Maybe not…

An energizing workout
relaxing stretch
A blissful morning

New phone in hand
A stroll around the mall
A busy afternoon

An altercation
at home
about what else….
money
I never seem to have any

I escape the scene
Walking away from
the accusations
endless guilt
frustration
harsh criticism

I return
the flames still smoldering

I hastily make my way to my room
the room that I once found heavenly
now
is a place of shame
despair
loneliness
guilt

Tears roll down my cheeks
softly releasing all my frustration

Music plays in the background
as I return to a blissful state

A quiet evening begins
