Justly Selfish

Posted on April 23, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
I had a deeply-rooted fear
of concealed trouble
that could inflict seasons of gloom and silence,
depression welcomed by
growing happiness.
We must be for ourselves in the long run - justly selfish.

Flooding in the Unhappy

Posted on April 16, 2020August 4, 2022 by Erin B.
In vapid listlessness
eyes closed, but not rested.
It was a state of dilapidation -
at least, of detached interest
within me.
I had been flooding in the unhappy.
