Life once seemed so simple
It was never easy, never dull
But simple
Grappling with the drama that’s been infused into my life
Despite my best efforts to deflect
It feels like my energy is wasted
Accept it, take it on, I tell myself
Adjust to it
Messy is your new reality
Like it or not, it’s yours
Here to stay, it’s not going anywhere
Possibly it could go from messy to super messy
Best case scenario
But the simplicity of marriage, of raising a child in one home has slipped beyond anyone’s grasp
Messy was what was always to come
Embracing it is likely the only way through
When you can’t run
