what do i want to say

i say too much, too little, for far too long,
i am safe in my bubble, but outside of that i am
vulnerable, and it's risky...
i am happy, as a clam, as a fresh apple pie, as a
hug when you're freezing, as a drink of water when
it's the hottest sort of day...
i feel...
           i heal...
                      i steal as much time as i can....
      i need....
i lead....
            i retreat into a cozy existence...
i am a singer, a mom to two very sweet pups, a lover, a daughter, not a sister by birth, but a sister
of the cause!
love...
so important
hate...
so unnecessary...
but who cares...let's be adult about life, it is hard, messy and wonderful...
aren't we the luckiest people on the planet...to be loved and love in return...
