I climbed a hill to reach the climax,
But tripped on a root and twisted my leg.
The view was grand—or so they tell me—
I only saw dirt, and a squirrel’s peg-leg.

I cried, “Adventure is quite overrated!”
As I slid back down with grass stains galore.
Yet when I limped home, triumphant and jaded,
I claimed I had conquered Mount Living-Room Floor.

Thank you for reading, liking, and commenting to my posts.  It is very appreciated.

I am currently raising money to pay for ongoing psychotherapy. I am a survivor of complex trauma, I have dissociative identity disorder, and complex PTSD.  Therapy can be very expensive.

If you feel like donating to my fund you can donate using pay pal. My pay pal email for donating is:

Manyofus1980@gmail.com

Don’t feel you have to, there is no pressure, but I’m grateful for any donations that are received.

Again thanks for visiting!
