Haiku Hope 17 – Make it stop!

Good morning everyone and welcome to another Haiku Hope in this hot summer weather.

I’m sure many of you will find you resonate with the feelings in this haiku, not knowing which way to turn in order to feel better.

Unsurprisingly I wrote this in a moment where I felt completely unable to be pain free and find something to enjoy. Whichever way I turned it was either physically or mentally draining, and I often feel I can’t win.

This is the result.

**********

Make it Stop

The pain! Make it stop!
You must rest. Put your feet up.
It’s dull! Make it stop!

**********

Thanks for reading 💜
