Frida Painted Frida

When you’re in it,
What just happened,
Everything screams,

You have to choose
What’s best to do,
Insistently

Enough you split
Between despair
At improvement

And commitment
To improving.
From a distance,

Folks do better
Or get worse,
But doing so

Aren’t they doing
What they could do
And nothing else?

From the outside
It’s clear you did
What you did, but

From the inside,
You can fix it,
Can’t you? Fix it.
