| PROMPT November 28th Hopefully a little change of pace tonight. Write about something intangible: faith, magic, energy, power, or creativity. Just choose one topic, and write about it. See my earlier entry and the comments on it: "Letting my fingers type - #30DBC" The voice in my head is tangible to me It's the emotional baggage that I always carry. It says, "You're the princess You don't do housework You sit around, we'll do it We'll indulge your every quirk." This voice, in reality spoke for years (thirty-seven) Now the voice is in my head 'Coz the speaker is in Heaven. Yes, I'm upper-middle class I had a maid to wait on me Who made my bed, cleaned my room Cooked the food, did the laundry I didn't lift a finger Anywhere at home And now that she's gone I feel helpless and alone. Oh, don't get me wrong I still have part-timers here But the voice in my head Is on full time, my dear! "That's not your job! Don't pick that up! I'll stoop and get it I'll wash your cup!" The trouble is, the voice Isn't real any more And if I don't do it Nobody does that chore. My bed is unmade, There's no soap near the sink Nothing is a habit I get tired coz I have to think! I once asked my aunt Was my maid a blessing or a curee She said - that's a choice you make It could've been better; could've been worse Now that she's a memory And her voice lives on in you It's your decision whether What it says is false or true. You need to grow up You need to cope You need to learn to balance The fatigue with the hope. Change your own habits! It can be done Let her voice guide you Through the chores one by one. She was the expert She'd guide you all right Let her voice not bring darkness Let it bring the light. And when you have done that How triumphant you'll feel! Because your victory Won't be intangible, but REAL! |
| PROMPT November 27th Things have progressed well in your town/city with the Pandemic. So well that you've been allowed to return to the office instead of working from home. Your co-worker Karly, is sneezing and coughing and refuses to wear a mask. Who do you call, or do you let it slide. Tell us why you would act that way. Tough one. I'd try to tell her. If that didn't work, I'd tell other colleagues. If that didn't work either, I'd go and 'rat' to a superior. If nothing worked, I'd stop going to office. It's not worth the risk.   |
