Holidays are yesterdays
Filled with joy and pain.
Wishing in so many ways
But nothing stays the same.

Fake smiles insincere
But you keep pushing through.
Behind your brain you fear
Their faces said they knew.

Sitting in the dark morose
Too worried too afraid.
Won't let them too close
To this mess I've made.

Happy Thanksgiving to my family
I hope I've explained myself ably.

When the holidays aren't anything that they used to be. Even when you wish they were. Accepting there is no going back to the ways things were. Growing up and letting go.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
