IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
stay away
from broken windows
and damaged relationships
hit by a Tsunami of
disappointments
and Avalanche
of heartbreaks and regrets.
Stock up on self-love
and first aid kits,
there's no sense
licking on old wounds
and imaginary
internal hemorrhage.
Evacuate if necessary,
flee from howling ghosts
of the past that never
let you sleep,
somewhere out there
someone will hear your
cry for help and rescue you
from Life's hurricanes.
Keep calm,
let storms pass
without leaving you a mess,
a walking tragedy, or
a self-portrait of a disaster.
You're a survivor,
leafless but not lifeless,
will bend but
won't ever break,
Tomorrow's headline
and morning bulletin
should broadcast you're
neither a missing individual
nor a retrieved casualty.
