May is Mental Health Awareness month. While I have written a few posts already addressing the importance of maintaining a healthy mental health level, I feel one more will not overpopulate the subject matter. It is important to actually be aware of this issue. I am not an expert of any kind and my opinions should be viewed as that – simply opinions. With that in mind, here we go.

I’m smart enough to know I’m not that smart.
I’m whole enough to know I’m a bit broken.

I just realized that title might make you think I am going to share some kind of secret about toilet paper. Like, how to get it for cheap. Not to disappoint you but my posts are never that useful. I mean, if I knew how to live a thrifty life I would be sharing my know-how. Trust me. No, my posts are never that real world helpful. Instead, I am going to share about how two things govern our behavior and interaction with other people. I’m talking about perception and projection.

Stories and plays have entertained us for centuries. With a story comes characters. Fictional characters written on page, embodied by actors, but which our imaginations breathe life into. Because there is this intertwining or collaborative effort of a story between storyteller and audience, elements of the story may look a bit different for the two. Sure, the storyteller may have created a character but it is the audience member that gives the character life.

because the mirror screamed “POTENTIAL!”
I figured my being was essential.
Pretty sure I was cream of the crop
someone no one could ever hope to stop.

I have a new book of poetry that I need to publish. It will be called The Accidental Poet volume II. Basically it is a collection of my poetry since my last poetry book came out several years ago. This one took a little longer to fill since I cut my poetry posts from twice a week to once a week. I guess you could say it took twice as long to fill, you know, if you were good at math or some strange thing like that.

Oh no! I see I have another flaw
that just popped out of nowhere
but now I have to hide it
and can’t display it
if I want to belong out there.

I wrote a book. A small, tiny book. So, I called it a children’s book. I used a bigger font to meet the minimum page requirement. Initially, because it was a children’s book, I wanted illustrations to accompany it. But, if you know me at all, I am not an artist. Since none of my books have actually made me any money, I finally decided to just go ahead and self-publish it. Only after it was published and I received a copy of it did I have someone from the target audience read it. I insisted on her honest review and after a little coaxing she gave me what I wanted. She did not like the story.

You like the way I look today?
A compliment, I admit,
makes me panic a little bit.
What do I have on display?
I am not sure what to say.
