Why am I so
Down through the week
Dragging along
It’s my bed I seek
As it wears on
This feeling grows
Gravity pulls me
Down to my toes
Get to Friday
Can barely stand
The hours pass slow
Do nothing I’d planned
Finally free
My breath deepens
Begin to waken
Why? Many reasons
Feel so alive
Spirit returns
Can finally be me
And my passions burn
Free to explore
All that moves me
Diving down deep
My thoughts amuse me
Write, ride and live
Love my kitties
Plunder my soul
Serve it up with ease
What I would give
To live this daily
Alas, this life
Doesn’t yet pay me
Author's Note:
Sometimes the weekend doesn’t just feel like a break; it feels like a return to life. This piece captures that shift. From exhaustion to fire. From obligation to expression. — Liora

These pieces come from the work of mending and reigniting, healing from trauma, finding tenderness again, and holding on to the wild, sacred fire that survives every storm.
If my work here speaks to you and you’d like to support it:
– Buy me a coffee – a small boost for the human behind the words.
– Feed the kitties – cover a day’s meals for the colony of feral and free-roamers I care for, and you’ll get my Whiskers in the Dark mini-zine as a thank-you.
Every like, comment, referral, and recommendation helps my work get seen. I appreciate honest engagement and connection. If something here moved you, share it.
