How are you?

How are you, really!?

My snarky side wants out

The 'really' set me off

Snarky you say, what’s that?

Sharply critical, snide

That would be my mood

How am I? Let me say

Sometimes I’m sad

Sometimes I’m angry

Sometimes I want to scream

Some days I want to play

A rollercoaster it seems

Sometimes curling into a ball

Would be nice

Some days that takes too much

And sometimes I yell

“I want him back”

And then I remember

That ‘wanting’ is ever longing

And never having

And the universe grants your wishes

And while I want him back

I accept he’s where he needs to be

And I am here where I need to be

And I am ever grateful

That he is with me always.

I’m fine, I reply.  Really.
