Blanket of Grief<\/h1>\n

Copyright, Amy Osborn<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

I can feel the blanket covering me\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

it affects everything I hear\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

everything I say\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

everything I see.<\/p>\n

The blanket makes it hard<\/p>\n

for me to enjoy life\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

hard for me to care\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

hard to do the simplest things.<\/p>\n

There are times I feel that<\/p>\n

I will be able to get out<\/p>\n

from under the blanket,<\/p>\n

but then I realize there<\/p>\n

are times I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want to.<\/p>\n

Somedays it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s too hard<\/p>\n

to go on\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

to enjoy life\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6<\/p>\n

to care.<\/p>\n

Those days I pull<\/p>\n

my blanket over my head<\/p>\n

and let the tears flow.<\/p>\n

This is one of those days.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
