YES! I need a break

Do you need a break? From what?

This is a response to a daily prompt I spotted this morning. It’s a poem.

From the constant battles

Financial arguments at every turn

From an organisation who

Instead of helping they let me burn.


From my crazy brain

Flash backs, sleeplessness & more

I try my best to manage it

My own internal war.


From the constant pain

Vascular, mechanical, psychological

It takes a long time to adjust when

The foot’s only 3 months in the dust.


So sometimes I take that break

Go right off the grid

Surround myself with happiness

Reconstruct a life I don’t need a break from.
