Opinions
A sip of warm tea slips inside my throat.
Angry words soften breath into a sigh melting bitter on my tongue.
I swallow bile.
It slides into the fear that waits and hides secrets of my forgotten dreams.
The fog escapes. A roiling mix of black and grey releases dark despair.
It piles upon my soul.
When I examine how I spend my days
I am ashamed at the waste.
