Which Came First?

Heaviness weighs
Body and soul
But my brain?
The exact opposite-
I seem to be
In a sort of
Chicken and egg
Scenario
Wondering
Which came first?
Sleeplessness
Sadness
Grief, tears
Spiraling
Anxious
Thoughts-
I suppose
It doesn’t matter
Which came first
We are all in this
Together-
My eyes
My body
My brain
My heart
And thankfully, you
Right beside me
Reminding me
To breathe
As my tears fall
On your shoulder

  1. I love how you’re able to beautifully weave the emotions with your words. “We’re all in this together”…the heart and everything. Kelley, I’m happy for the shoulders around you. And we’re all surrounding you during tough and good times. Much love, Karla 💛🙏🏻
