at what lengths
are you willing
to take steps
to gain acceptance
achievement, status
there are lines
that people develop
based on personal
values of upbringing
priorities of
social interactions
triaged for decision
defining who you are

-Jennie Nawrocki

feelings uncertain
for what was real
seems no longer
as the ups and downs
been so frequent
concepts to hold
become jumbled messes
blocking everything
all abilities
from understanding
what one is
supposed to feel
from the beginning

-Jennie Nawrocki

energy of activity
the need to care
posses with each blow
one right after the other
fighting is no use
and the wind will
only become stronger
barricading within
is the only solution
maybe it will save
the structure
when the storm passes
though they took
what they needed
followed emergency
evacuation orders
and left it all there

-Jennie Nawrocki
