Gravity
by Elizabeth Challinor
You again?
Why?
I was doing just fine
Feeling healed inside
I had it all under control
How dare
You
Creep
Up
On
Me
Like
That
From behind
It was all sorted out
In my mind
It made total sense
Coherent
Logical
Reasonable
Plans…
Castles
In the sand
Collapsed
At the first wave of emotional pain
Where did you come from?
Again?
I can’t look you in the eye
Not today
I feel misty, hazy
Crazy
Will this never end?
Has all my progress been in vain?
No!
No says Grandpa
As he springs off the sofa
Catch that thought
Right now
Throw it in the air
See how quickly
It falls to the ground
If gravity doesn’t care
Why should you?
