Blow Your Nose

Here, take my hankie and

Go do your business.

No one is watching so

Don’t feel ashamed.

It’s not the first time you’ve

Tear-stained the linens so

Reign in the waterworks til

It be tamed.

I don’t mean to sound hardened

Or cynical,

Beastly unkind to your heart-felt emotions.

It’s just a dose of reality talking,

Soothing the soul with its

Dark healing potions.

Tomorrow you’ll wake to the bright

Sun of morning,

Fresh from your slumber

As the dew on the rose.

For now, simply struggle,

Suffering silence. Lost but not alone.

Go…. Blow your nose.
