There’s this discomfort in my brain
That wants to bitch, whine, and complain -
“Oh, no, Jody! Not that, again!!”

Part of me wonders
If that’s strengthened and fueled by
All the anger and injustice
Posted through my friend’s’ feeds...
“Do your soapboxes clean up the Earth?”

Yet, I do not want to be thankful,
Just because it’s today -
“Why not be grateful 24/7, year-round?”

...and I do not want my head
Wrapped up in phone apps, all day...
Will someone unwrap me,
And whisk me away, to play?
