Only People.

To not shrink into a sour prune,
we cannot Give and Give.

Let's be the plump, succulent peach -
learn how to Give and Take.

And that,
can only be done with
People -
not things or activities.

Past week,
I've been asking people,
'When you're upset, what do you do to feel better?'
All but a few gave similar answers:

I game at the comp.
I sleep.
I throw things around.
I stop talking for a few days.
I read.
I play music.

'Do you feel better after that?'
They mostly say 'yes'.

'Does the matter get resolved?'
I only saw uncertainty and sheepish smiles.
