I'm triggered that I meet someone who most likely will take me for granted,

pour half my life only to then vanish.

Messing up with the comfortable way I am living,

it's even worse when my parents bring up the fact every Thanksgiving.

I'm triggered that my boss demands a lot for minimum wage,

sees me break my back for the company only to tell me to go away.

Useless economy no longer do we work for pleasure, only to serve a system that builds up inevitable pressure.

I'm triggered when I see kids with both parents together, it's a reminder that some people have it way better.

No drama and a very open communication, secretly I wish they could walk a mile in my shoes with no hesitation.

I'm triggered that the media sold me a dream, that if I am nice people they will bring me joy and make me feel seen.

Nothing but cranky adults battered up at the age of forty, some who made bad choices or by the fault of their own pity party.

I'm triggered that I am triggered, hate the fact that I am growing up and becoming slowly bitter.

An old shrew that forgets the ups and sudden downs, nothing that I can't handle in this life this showdown.
