What strategies do you use to cope with negative feelings?
These days, when I sense my own negative feelings rising up, I am thankful that I long ago began building a habit that has made me quicker to take agency of those feelings than I was in years past — I own them instead of deflecting them, so I can process and disburse them.
I’ve been the pilot
Of many a flight of thought
Bound for no-man’s land

Well — hello, fellow struggler
May I say: You wear your patchy-feathers proud
No mind to molting season
I’m frozen in a place of shame, and don’t often speak of my own lack out loud
A desperate whisper on a moon-filled night
This, all I tend to venture
But you! Here in the early morn,’ foraging and in flight!
Makes me think, with eyes anew, that I ought, too,
Fight the good fight
I find things
I suppose that you are made of stealth pilot stuffLast eve’ I almost
Felt the musings of my heart
Venture from my lips!
Behave thee, beautiful Hawk
Else, if not
Call me closer
Force my witness
Of thine stripes
Thine wings
Please never cower
Flight is just to capture your
Imagination

Come with me I'm
One of those kind
I won't mind
If you need
To float a bit I'll
Be with you should you
Dawdle
I know these parts
Each side of my heart
Resolutely resolved
To remain uncured and
To come with you
Wingless, yet in flight
Yellow bird, break not my heart
Trust ye, the terroir
