heart break day

When I was young, like 20,

My counselor said 

It can all be summed up

By the old Kenny Rogers song. 

You’ve got to know when to hold ‘em. 

Know when to fold ‘em. 

Know when to walk away-

Know when to run…

The closet always ends up a mess. 

It never changes. 

Nurses say they’ll take a shift 

And they don’t. 

It’s stupid and unfair. 

It’s like the serenity prayer. 

People won’t change. 

Unless they decide for themselves. 

I need to decide if I can accept it. 

#1 Rule: don’t make a decision 

When you’re mad and or tired. 

And I am both.
