Grumpy Mom
I am not
Showing up well for my actual life
Because I feel so drained
From what I see online and in the news
How do I disengage in a healthy way
That isn’t an ignorant way
Or shirking my duty as an informed citizen
How do I disagree well with
The people who overlap my online life
And my real life
How do I challenge so many lies
When the firehose of falsehood
Is drowning me
How do I not become complacent
When the dehumanizing content
Constantly swirls around me
How can I love well
The people I meet
Online and in real life
Show them Jesus
While compassion fatigue
Is making me a grumpy mother?
