The same conversation plays every week
It's happened so often
I have learned to just not speak.
But inside my head I am reeling and screaming
Can't this just be one of those times
When I am just dreaming?
I close my eyes to block out the noise
I calm myself down
And appear content and poised
These conversations me nervous and sweat
And all of the rantings and ravings
Sound like a deadly threat
What I hear won't happen anytime soon
But all of their arguments and chatter
Certainly make me want to fume
I've learned to keep my mouth closed
To keep quiet and nod my head dutifully,
And once again, what I am feeling won't be exposed
It makes me just a little nervous, my future is at stake
I hold back the tears
And mustering a smile, I try so hard not to break

ur really good at writing things so any reader thinks "how can she be going through exaclty what i;m goig through!!!" for me, it's the shabbos tables devoid of kedusha and filled with lashon hara and apikorsus. ahhh can't take it any more! ANd it's the same old stuff, too. Wish I had your self control to keep the mouth closed lol!
ReplyDeletesame here--shabbos table talk makes me crazy... even if its torah, somehow it goes way off topic... sigh...
