Made The Bed

The eyes are closed
Fists clenched tight 
Events of the day
Taking their toll

Uncurl those fingers
Stretch them out
Let the blood flow
Dispel the numbness

Made the decisions
Lived to tell
The tale; made my
Bed, lying in it.

  6. We make our own beds and face whatever consequences arising, good or bad. It takes great strength to face up! Rightly so Bee!
