My journey through this world and how I see things….
Smiles and laughter realized again Deep in my soul, they still exist Despite the heartbreak and pain I remember what I dismissed. Wordsmith of stories and poems Decades spent writing them all - Conveying different emotions - One second up high, the next I fall. Did you happen to notice what was missing?… Continue reading Flawed Heart
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
There are certain moments in a person's life that they can remember what they were doing on an exact day. August 6, 2016, which was one year ago today, is one of those times for me. It was the last time I've seen and hugged my 'wasbund'. I don't want to call him an 'ex-husband'… Continue reading Shimmer Of Hope
On the other side of my door - Where anything can happen - Never knowing what's in store, Finding safety inside has become habit. Heartbeat racing as I prepare for the day, Hoping I can face the people I meet And ready myself for what they say - Their words could be bitter or… Continue reading Good Enough
During this time last year, I wrote on different stages of my thought process as I sought out help for my anxiety and depression. For those of you who have followed me over the years, you may recall how I bit the bullet and kept those appointments with my therapist. If you're new, here are… Continue reading Set Adrift
Yes, I took my time moving on, Telling everyone I was taking it slow - Countless boxes piled high, Scared of what I'd find inside. Memories buried in the dark - Hoping they stay where they're parked, God, don't let them rush into my mind - I want to leave all that far behind.… Continue reading Memories
The sound of the clock in that quiet room, How it resonated against those lonely walls. Oh, How the ending that I felt coming did loom - No matter how loud my heartbeat would call… Wanting, wishing, hoping for us to last forever - Some way to keep promises that we both made. The bonds… Continue reading Rest Of Forever
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
Overjoyed one day, I can’t stop smiling – The next, I can barely stop myself from crying. What path can I take so it can be reconciling? My mind can be great and then – terrifying. The battle that’s been waged for so long now, Only can hold the hope that it’ll one day… Continue reading Through The Darkness
Passion burns - fire resides Deep, deep inside, This is what I need My heart concedes. Dreams ridiculed and scorned, Before they're fully formed. Keep the smile on my lips - Words they say from stolen scripts. The truth, the crux of the matter - My desires you cannot shatter. I'll keep my dreams close… Continue reading Burning Passion
