A storm, a battle, a fight
A struggle with all your might
The harder you try the harder you fall
When the world seems big and you very small
When all you want to do is hide
And the words you need aren’t on your side
It’s hard to just lift up your chin
But you say you're fine and you grin
Yet you’re dying from within
Though life can be tough,
Just be easy on you, don’t be rough
It’s just a long journey to a beautiful place
Just take a breath, each step, it’s not a race
cause for you and me and anybody,
our struggles aren’t light
with a storm, a battle, and a fight

Snacktime Sonata Challenge Winners
Well, your Snacktime Sonatas made us hungry, and that’s about the highest compliment we have. Food — taste, smell, sensation — is a powerful conduit to the past, to memories pleasurable and painful and sometimes bittersweet, a mixture of comfort and challenge. Congratulations to Penny Fuller for Sativa — it’s a first win for Penny — a hymn to the “secret, unbounded/freedoms” of fresh peas in the pod. The narrative voice of the poem doesn’t really want to be outside, but finds joy in the green things of the earth; this is a lovely work of resilience.
