Wow!

There's powerful magic afoot,
I know because everyone is reacting to the possibility.
In strange ways,
My insight, my growth, my patience.
Who'da thunk I'd be so evolved?
David is sick, like he made himself physically sick--
Unwilling to confront himself head-on,
His immune system saves him with a quick and complete shut-down.
If only his fears crashed so easily.
Wallow, wallow, wallow,
with complete freedom to use those coping skills,
as mismatched as they may be to this situation.
They're yours, and you're attached to them,
and you have a god-given right to use them as necessary, as YOU see fit.
Just remember, I have a goddess-given right not to react
in any of the predictable forms.
I will be me in the face of this new challenge to us.
