If you remove compassion from what would otherwise be righteousness, you begin to flirt with wickedness.

Little Bugger Booger

-
A little fly frozen in ice, Found by four friends, a silly vice, They named him "Little Bugger Booger", And paid homage to him like a trooper. They tossed candy onto his sacred spot, And left soda in memory of what they had wrought, Their "tongue in cheek" ceremony grew, Into a friendship that was strong and true. The four of them were outsiders, But they found solace in each other's diversions, Stupid humor became their bond, And they reveled in being thought of as "weird" and beyond. They grew up and went their separate ways, But their shared love for each other never fades, And every once in a while they meet, To catch up, laugh, and be silly in defeat. They even visit Little Bugger Booger's grave, And leave candy and soda in his memory to pave, The way for their friendship to thrive, And keep their love for each other alive.

But as I pause, and breathe the present air, I take a step, and try to look around, And see the people, that are everywhere, And hear their chatter, and their joyous sound. I reach out, strike a conversation new, Or join a group, to break the icy spell, And find myself, a friend, or maybe two, And suddenly, the world is just as well. Yet, if the loneliness just won't subside, And my anxiety is hard to bear, I seek some help, a counselor to guide, To find some peace, and someone who will care. In crowds or in solitude, I will find, A balance, that will bring me some relief, And peace of mind, for heart and soul, entwined, And help me cope, with sadness or with grief.

Prompt - “Try focusing more on your life and less on mine!”

“Try focusing more on your life and less on mine!” Alan bellowed surprising both himself and Meagan. Alan didn’t know where the anger came from, he just let loose. “I am so sorry!” he immediately added, hoping he could reverse the consequences of his outburst. “That’s just fine,” Meagan said with a tone that told Alan that it really wasn’t “just fine.”   Meagan quickened her pace to join the rest of the group, leaving Alan back to wonder why he was so reactive.   A little advice from another single parent should be welcome.   What is wrong with me? Alan wondered to himself. At that moment Alans hear once again began to pound uncontrollably, only this time was worse.   Alan struggled to breathe and quickly made his way to a bench on the side of the busy street.   Alans vision blurred and all he could see were the myriad of light of the passing cars mixed with the lights coming from business signs, except he could make any of them out.   They amalgamated...
