My journey through this world and how I see things….
Rise Above Years have since come and gone When I childishly looked at the world - Then, age and realism dawned Causing my foolish heart to unfurl. A thirst to want to love and be loved, Was seemingly quenched And old ideas were proved wrong Lies poured and left me drenched. It would seem my… Continue reading Rise Above
When you're a little kid, everything seems so simple and the only thing that you need to worry about is whether to watch this cartoon or that. Of course, I do come from the age of Nintendo and Saturday Morning Cartoons. Instead of playing with an iPhone, I was outside with my brother and playing… Continue reading Skills That I Learned From Grief
Though my eyes need glasses to help me see, To take in all of the beauty of the world - They also allow me to see the horrors and pain, The price of hate and violence unfurled. We are so much better than agony and killing. We are human beings, our lives already fleeting… Continue reading My Looking Glass
Try as though I may, I just can't outrun time - No matter how hard I pray. Memories will last me a lifetime. Running her brush through my hair, Wiping away the tears ever so gently - Showing me love with the utmost care. God, these thoughts appear  intensely. I still remember your… Continue reading Love of a Lifetime
Memories from the past, Seeping into my mind. A time long since passed, Desires that were declined. Shiny objects and pretty things Often asked by others my age.

Icy Touch Broken heart and clenched fists Not a stranger to agony's stinging kiss. Somehow, still not prepared for this - Thirst for vengeance, so hard to dismiss. Death's icy touch grazes yet again Never relenting… never showing mercy. Human flaws, consequences inhumane, The end came too quick for his journey. Neither old age… Continue reading Icy Touch
Eight years ago, this summer, I remember being in a one bedroom apartment with my then fiancé (now husband). I had just moved here, to Kentucky, in September of 2005 and never doubted that decision. Though, I did want something more that was always a near constant in my life. A dog. I asked him… Continue reading Goodbye, My Dear Friend
It's been awhile since I've written a proper blog. I am compelled to write this for a number of different reasons. August 29th marked the day in which twenty one years ago that I experienced my first time of losing someone that I loved so deeply. I was nine years old and I learned of… Continue reading Grieving
The Final Kiss Bits and pieces of stardust Flying through space Our doorstep it lands... Curious modest place Is this what I'm made of? The same as you Came from up above Surely, cannot be true... Black canvas like velvet Sent a… Continue reading The Final Kiss
Mourning Every day someone is lost Another soul gone too soon Never easy to lose one Although it happens incessantly I'm not the only one that's cried That's held my pillow tight Praying for it to all be a dream Nightmare rather, that they died I'm not the only one that's… Continue reading Mourning..
