Daily prompt: what bothers you?

What bothers you and why?

The best way for me to express this was through poetry.

So here we go.

Why is this ‘posh’
And why am I judged?
Just because I don’t wear
Jeans, jeggings or jerseys?

Why is this ‘foreign’?
Why class me non kiwi,
When my style or appearance
Isn’t identical to yours?

Why can’t I dress
However I please
Without having a reason
Or someone to impress?

Why can’t you just compliment
Instead of make judgement
Or leave me alone,
Keep your thoughts to yourself.

[Poem by Melanie Magowan]

Love is..

Just a small reminder that everything isn’t always a bed of roses all the time when you’re disabled, a business owner and battling PTSD.

A poem to review the years biggest highlights (for me at least.)
