Mopiness mops me,

though I try to grab the mop

and set it aside.

Sometimes it's a break

that I need, but resist,

that would really help.

My negative thoughts

like to test positively

and pretend they're good.

Jack and Jill fell down,

but they managed to get up

- at least I hope so.

I have to be me,

but try to be your version

- not sure that will work

What's a safe distance?

How close will still be okay?

I've long wondered.
