Poetry Friday - May 15th

Is there anything more I can do
Than cry myself to sleep at night
Is there anything more I can ask
As I pray and hold my body tight
As the tremors fill my hands
And my legs can barely stand
And I scream

Is the sky bleeding purple now
Like my heart bleeding crystal clear
With the tears screaming silent threats
At angry enemies
Is the wind blowing men astray
While I stand stagnant in the heat
And my fears gather round my neck
You whisper, "I am here"

So why am I waiting still
Why can't you answer me
I've shouted all my life
Why can't You see

Not to mention the fact that many students are left behind due to internet issues, special needs, and the way they learn best. The kid I babysit recently said he needed to turn off his live zoom classes because listening to the teacher was too distracting. He had not yet learned the material, but he would rather figure it out than listen to her rant about how they "had plenty of time to get their work done during class and she was going to have to call parents if they didn't finish in time today. Obviously, at the moment does not seem like a great time to do this. It's been almost a year of no classes right now. Cases are close to

Fair Fun

Tuesday marked the third (and final for us) day in a row of visiting the NC State Fair. We had a blast each day, and did a lot of really fun "field trip" type things, as well as the usual fair food and rides. We spent a ton of money and did a lot of free things as well. Overall, it was definitely worth it, although it may take me a full three days to recover.
