Melting…

I’m not ungrateful by any means. I do love the summer, and the warmth… I just wish I wasn’t at school, to actually appreciate it!

I shouldn’t really complain, right?
But you need to understand my plight, right?
Summer’s here in full force, right?
Sun lotion and barbeque sauce, right?
But temperatures over thirty, right?
Leaving me sweaty and dirty, right?
Kids can’t cope with the heat, right?
Ice cream ain’t just a treat, right?
Surely work can’t be legal, right?
I can’t even sleep at night, right?
And don’t get me started on pollen, right?
Itchy eyes, sneezes and throat, right?
I just need a holiday, right?
Then I might feel alright, right?

When you get all comfy
Sat down on the loo
And realise that the loo roll’s gone
Blimey! What to do!

Or, soaking in the shower
You reach for your favourite gel
Squeeze, but nothing comes out…
They’ve finished that as well!

Reaching in the caddy
To make a cup of tea
But, alas, no teabags
Seriously?!

Empty boxes of chocolates
Pringle tubes with just one left
All these empties in my house
I really feel bereft!

Is it honestly so hard
To refill all these things?
Or at least tell me to replenish
When I go shopping?

I am not a mind reader
And I’m not the only one
Who has the capability
To put the bog roll back on

Drinks, lightbulbs, petrol
And so much other stuff
When left spent, or empty
It leaves me in a huff!

I’m sorry for the whining
Please say I’m not alone
It just really get my wick
I need to have a moan!

Each day I feel so thankful for
The one I live my life for
The one who completes me
Who’s touch defeats me
The one who knows
And it shows
I love
You

I feel a little anxious today
I feel I wanna hide
I want the world to stop and let me off
I don’t wanna ride

I feel so much uncertainty
I really don’t feel right
I wish I knew what was going on
I wanna sleep at night

I spend nights tossing and turning
I’m not sleeping well
I feel the Heaven around me
Is turning into Hell

I need to think what to do
To turn my thoughts around
If I look hard enough
Positivity can be found

Seeing all going on around the world, with attacks, elections with no hope no matter what the outcome, poverty and greed, it is so easy to become worried and upset.

Please look around you. There is good, no matter where you look.

As the saying goes, “Every Cloud Has A Silver Lining”.

Linda’s #SoCS prompt for this week…

Your Friday prompt for Stream of Consciousness Saturday is: “whether/weather.” Use one, use both, use them any way you’d like. Bonus points if you start and end your post with one (or each) of them. Enjoy!

Whether it’s spring or summer,
Winter or fall
You know one thing that’s common
In all
You’ll get wind, sun, and rain
Together
Because that’s just typical
British weather!
