Awake

Am I awake? I thought I was, but the question seemed to shake me out of a daze and now that word is everywhere. I think of conversations that where hazy and I missed what others said. Those moments I had to apologize because I hadn't heard what was being said, or just filled in …

Cancel (FMF Link Up)

Linking up with http://www.Fiveminutefriday.com The rules are: set a timer and free write for five minutes on word prompt, then share. Cancel... immediately brings to mind Cancel Culture...
