Cracked Nuts!

9 Lines .........

Within ourselves, 

and beyond ourselves,

we live our lives.

.  .  .

Keeping a balance,

doable in 'normal' times,

is a Nut to crack now.

.  .  .

Dig down deep.

Strength and perspective

trump Cracked Nuts.

He seems intent on making us as nutty as he is, if that could be at all possible.
Still, at least you can breath easy with him saying he won't run for a third term. He'll probably be too busy being the pope, if you're sill enough to trust anything coming out his mouth!

Haha, he lies even when there's no reason to.
A compulsive Nut! :)
Thanks Lorry

Perseverance, single minded strength, and fortitude indeed are beliefs needed to combat our self doubts. Having no one else in my life to blame for my successes and failures also puts the onus on me to make the right decisions and stand by them. I've definitely cracked a few nuts in my life, especially my own. Very thoughtful piece of wise poetry, Dylan. Great work.

I always enjoy you thoughts Carlos, Gracias!🙂

Great piece of writing drawing attention to the impact daily chaos has on a person’s wellbeing.

Thanks Mary!
Your "daily chaos" nails it. Historically, nations and Individuals pay a sad-heavy price for it, practically and psychologically.
