How many ways
can you say
“My heart breaks”
before you
run out
(of days
of time

I postponed my May blogpost because I had no words. I was thinking of writing just that. Thank you for this simple heartfelt poem that speaks to us all at this very moment.

Thank you for reading, and for this kind comment. I’m still having trouble writing much of anything. Nothing feels right. I’ve got a short story to post before the end of the month, and I’ve just got nothing. My heart hurts.

I have a lot of words I would like to say, but it would be inappropriate to say them here.

I feel so powerless right now. I feel like I could scream from the rooftops and it would fall on deaf ears. I feel like this is not how the world is supposed to be, and there’s very little I can effectively do about it. It’s such an empty, hopeless feeling.

I am sorry for your pain, and I am not minimizing it. I sometimes feel those same feelings, but more and more, I am just outraged.

Outrage is a good word for it. I’ve spent a lot of the last two days back and forth-ing between anger and sadness. Sometimes, these days, I can’t tell which is which.

It seems society is trying to test the limits on this. Sad times, for sure.
