Today

Today he chose to ask again about when
Today he chose to say he's done so much already
Today he chose to ask what I've done
Today he chose to bring me down

Just like yesterday

Why I still allow him to dictate and arouse my ire, I'll never know.

I made a commitment to not be a bitter woman.
I promised myself and my kids to not be "her."

I am at a very angry stage of this process and it's difficult.

Difficult to hold my tongue.
Difficult to not stab at him with words.
Difficult to hold true to myself.
Difficult to forgive.

It's all part of the process, I know.

But I don't like this person I'm being.
I'm not an angry soul by nature or choice.

Something in this has brought out the worst in my character.
It's almost uncontrollable at times and I don't like that.

I've always tried to keep the boats steady and the waters calm.

I need to soften the winds inside of me
And steer back to the high road I've deferred from


So much easier said than done right now
As the process comes to a head
it feels my emotions spike with it

I want it over
Yet dread the day
