I'm sorry you're feeling that way. I have been too for the past few weeks. I'm not sure what it is. Certain times of life are more challenging than others for sure ❤️
This is beautiful and thanks for sharing it today. It’s my Dad’s funeral in the UK today and I’ll be watching it online from NZ midnight our time here. My mood has plummeted dramatically and I hate toxic positivity. I appreciate your perspective and your permission to wallow 💕
The imagery is powerful and emotions raw and authentic. Makes me think of the rocks tumbling at the bottom of a river bed, being smoothed by the turbulent waters and crashing against each other. And rocks that get wedged up against other rocks, forming a natural dam—is to support each other with the forces around them push them together? I’m sorry for the pain and struggle you had to feel to write this beautiful poem. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks so much CB. That is an interesting analogy with the little rocks. I think we all feel that sometimes- tapped out and we want to be there for someone but we are exhausted. It difficult for “rocks” to allow someone to be there for them too. It works both ways. I leason I don't always learn
Oh Jane. Thank you for sharing this. I have had a really mixed summer so far and have been pretty down about my writing lately. Some days/times in life are just harder than others.
Thanks Wendy. It really is. It's even lonelier admitting it and feeling like others would feel offended or think you don't care. Nothing is further from the truth
Thanks so much for restacking my post CB

Rocks can be majestic just sitting there doing nothing while the tide foams all around her.
They can be and they are doing much more than it appears

This is a hard place to be! So good you can express it, Jane.
Thanks so much, Sandra! It can be. It seems like so many of us find ourselves there
We’re strong for others. No one ever tells you to be strong for your self. It’s hard to be all things in this world and survive at the same time.
Nailed it! No one tells you to be strong for yourself! So very true

Oh, I felt every word. It IS lonely being everyone else’s rock. ❤️
