She saved my life. If it weren't for her I would have succeeded in removing myself from here. No one, and I mean not one person (related or otherwise), has ever looked after me, looked for me, like her.
Here's my horrible voice that she (like a big ole liar) loved, and her just being herself from 7 years ago.
I wasn't home until she followed me there.
I love you, Linda.
What I wouldn't give to lie in your shade again.

No one will really see this but I need to tell someone, as I've been struggling for a little while.
My best friend, common law spouse, and all-around firecracker, died in December.
I'm trying really hard, but it's like walking around with blackout curtains over my eyes. The one person i could honestly say "Loved me too" is just.. gone. Permanently missing. I...I just weep a ton most days.
I've lost 40+ pounds since and nothing fits now. Like I'm wearing my older bros clothing all the time.
Imma be real with ya:
I grew up on the south side of Chicago, dirt poor. I kept bugging my mom for things we couldn't afford (which made my mom sad) so she told me to help the corner store with stocking shelves, sweeping, etc, so I could have money for the things I wanted. I was 8 years old.
My point is that in 8 years, I came from the womb, into the work force. I only had my mom "working" on me.
Star Citizen has had 10.
10+ years, still doesn't work.
Get a job you bums.
Wrote this poem impromptu as a sly post, triggered by an estranged friend's eulogy of Modi, on FB. Brings back loads of nostalgic memories.
That was around the time when I began to lose friends to Modi mania. This guy was among the saddest of the losses.
I used to write poems for myself, rarely published or shared them, he was the only friend I shared them with, he was into regional literature, was a good critic, ironically the only serious reader of my romantic poetry.
We’re often told not to mix business with politics, but consider this:
IL Dem Gov Pritzker just signed into law guaranteed paid leave to all IL workers.😄
MN Dem Gov Walz just signed into law free universal school breakfast & lunch for all children.😄
MI Dem Gov Whitmer just signed into law a repeal of anti-labor right to work for all workers.😄
AR GOP Gov Huckabee just signed into law making child labor easier for corporations to exploit.😳
