The woman resided to her comfortable space, Secure within its walls of protection it provides, Her energy depleted, From the internal war she fights, Often left feeling defeated. She attends to her devoir as a worker, a student, a member within recovery, Heavy is the feeling of everything, Putting on deodorant takes all but her… Continue reading Depression

Things I Hated, Now I love
The service stretching on, Continued yawns, Forced to stand and kneel, Stinky smells and songs with bad rhythm, Things I hated, now I love. Connection and family, "One bread, One body", Songs from my youth, Traditions now revered. Cold winter day chores, Expectations of hard labor clearing wood, Lazy and much rather being up to… Continue reading Things I Hated, Now I love
Vulnerability
I unbutton my shirt and open the window, Revealing the dirty parts of my heart. With my words I display my flaws, Forming a mirror in which is a reflection of you. Courage departs to doubt, Did you hear me? What do you see? Old wounds lying bare, scabbed partially bleeding, Each disclosure rubbing them… Continue reading Vulnerability
Future Me
This heavy sheath, Draped around my shoulders, Pressing against the curves on my hips, Pulling on the skin beneath my arms, Tugging on my second chin, Hate oozing out from within. Unable to perfect my goals, Self-discipline steps out for a meal, Dictating how I feel, Not giving up, But not getting there. As my… Continue reading Future Me
Splash of Humility
The pool, arrogantly calm, Judging the sea for its waves, Until someone jumps in, Turbulent and humbled again.
Destination You
Drinking in the richness of you, My thirst never quenched, Fluent in sweet sunny gazes, Interpreting your heart from your kisses, Spinning in orbit around your finger, Gravity pulling me close, Landing my lips on your surface, My path lit by the stars in my eyes, As I travel the journey of your past, Exploring… Continue reading Destination You
Energy Storm
A thick foggy haze of fuck you, surrounds me, The forecast had not predicted disturbed energy, Perhaps there was a red sky this morning, Or other signs that this was forming, The disease under my skin, My allergies of people kicking in, Itching to run, My emotional clouds smothering the sun, Zero visibility through this… Continue reading Energy Storm
I wish…
I wish the world was a different place, Where we didn't feel the need to compete, Put downs and social media posts weren't used to feel more complete, Gossip and judgement wasn't a way to belong, That it wasn't more important to be right, than to be wrong, Where egos weren't constantly on the defensive,… Continue reading I wish…
Loss of Words
My heart might explode, Wanting to express how I feel, Yet none of the words seem right, A picture is worth a thousand words, Yet like a cell phone photo of the moon, It pales in comparison, Perhaps it can only be said through touch, But then I might say too much.
Nighttime Memories
A temperature that's possessed, Hope wrapped in a breeze, After the sun rests, Awoke memories. Flickering of moments perfect in time. The future stretched as far as the sky, Adventures awaited as the waves collected, Sparkling jewels from the refracted moonshine. The heart always heeds to its call, Regardless of the age or place, When magic mainstreams the… Continue reading Nighttime Memories
