Not about me

I’ve been struggling of late.

Emotions I hate.

~

I got invited to a wedding. Second try.

My, oh my.

~

I attended the first.

Maybe I’m the curse.

~

The struggle is this,

single at a wedding is amiss.

~

Should I get over myself and support this bliss?

Should I suck in these useless emotions and not miss?

~

I’m going to buy a gift.

A card of encouragement and sweet words to lift.

~

If anything is said at all about my failure to participate,

opinions will pontificate.

~

I’m happy for them.

May their cup be filled to the brim.

~

Suck it up

buttercup.

~

Screw on your best smile.

Join the rank and file.

~

Your struggle is invalid.

Their happiness is more important; so just rid

~

yourself of these pity party feelings.

As always, find your dealings.

~

Share in their joy.

Be a footnote in their story.
