Deep woe.
Feelings run so deep
As our resources run out
Mother Nature’s woe.

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “start with why.” Begin your post with the word “why.” Have fun!
I went deep into my darkside for this one.
Why
Why am I so angry why am I so low
You’re driving me to distraction, why? I do not know.
Always putting everyone else first, but not me.
Always pardoning others for reasons I can’t see.
If I try to tell you to let them take their turns
You round on me and give that look that burns.
I’m sick of being wrong, having to zip my mouth.
Why not put me first, why?
Wordless Wednesday. A Blur! Two days late.

It’s Saturday again , yesterday we received our prompt for SoCs from LindaGHill she said : Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “wash/awash.” Use one, use both, use ’em any way you like. Bonus points for using both. Enjoy!
Awash, I am awash, scared of drowning, please throw me a line.
Feelings of fear and insecurity wash over me and I am sinking. I am caught in a whirlpool of hurt. I am afraid of my own shadow.
I see dismissal in every look a snub here a blank there.
I feel darkness creeping back washing over me I am awash with hopelessness.

LindaGHill is here with our Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is “the first 2-5 words at the top of the closest printed matter.” Open (if necessary) the closest printed matter to you. Use the first 2-5 words at the top of the page any way you’d like in your post. Have fun!
“Contrary to many people’s fear” Those five words always cause me to stress out. So I was not best pleased when they were the words I read from the book hubby is reading. Now that is a thing in itself because Hubby is not a reader and he would rather listen to the radio or watch TV.
I was sceptical when his old friend came round with the book for him to read. I even said, “He will never read that , he doesn’t read books” well he doesn’t. The book is called Dear Life and is written by Rachel Clarke
So back to my fear of “Contrary to many people’s fear” whenever a sentence starts with that I see trouble brewing.
“Contrary to many people’s fear” the petrol prices will drop soon… Really?
“Contrary to many people’s fear“….. utility prices will stabilize, Really?
“Contrary to many people’s fear” the war in Ukraine will end soon… Really?
“Contrary to many people’s fear” the NHS is not on the verge of collapse…Really?
“Contrary to many people’s fear” global warming is not real…. Really????
I could go on but it’s too depressing so ,” Contrary to many people’s fear” this is not going to be a long drawn out and repetitive post. I am done now.
Anger.

This is an old poem I have reviewed and revamped and I hope made it stronger
Anger is nasty, harsh and mean
Anger is aggressive always causing a scene.
Anger is childish demanding attention
Anger, kicking out, smashing all convention.
Laughing when you break down and cry
Never giving a shit nor will it
explain why.
Growing in the dark, feeding on insecurities and hate
Ever feeding on panic it can never sate
Ripping away at your innards growing a pace.
It laughs at you as you fall from grace.
Anger is ever present spoiling all it touches
Anger, a vicious bitch kicking away your crutches.
Anger a cancer chewing at your bowel
Never flinching however much you howl.
Ripping away at your innards growing a pace.
It laughs at you as you fall from grace.
Anger is a malicious back stabbing snide
It will rip you apart and toss you to one side.
Anger will suck your blood and gnaw on your bone
It will drain you of life and dump lost and alone.
Ripping away at your innards growing a pace.
It laughs at you as you fall from grace.
Anger ever present stripping the good away
Never gives in, chipping away at you night and day
Growing and gathering momentum consuming you from within
Dripping viscous poison in your ear whilst wearing a grin
Ripping away at your innards growing a pace.
It laughs at you as you fall from grace.
Recoiling from kindness and light
It feeds on your soul by day and night.

This week for Ronovanwrite’s Weekly Haiku Challenge I have not used synonyms but just gone for some home truths. 😉
not king and queen but
spares, say they want privacy
Yet still want their say
Like cactus in the desert
Poisonous views like a snake.

The innocent.
The season is a changing fast
The bulbs are pushing up through snow
Their roots are spreading down below
Above there’s war, bombs fall and tanks blast
Nature hears the echos of the past.
She wonders will man ever learn
As innocents they crush and burn.
The Russians lie and will ignore
It is false news the liars roar.
Against evil we must stand firm.
THIS IS PART OF RONOVANWRITE’S WEEKLY DÉCIMA CHALLENGE.
