Cornered into choices, Decisions not your own. Fighting through the memories, Reacting to the bone. Sleeplessness, feeling out of control. Fighting for your place. Knowing your strength, Your willingness, The promises you make. Who controls the script? The observations placed on you? A strength is there, but overthrown, By those holding power over you. Fight… Continue reading Cornered
Pick up your pen and write with me Of powers misunderstood. The willingness inside of you To focus on the good. Fly away, sweet chickadee Away from dark despair. Your beauty lies inside of you Not for sale or fair. Robust your mind Through space and time, No label you shall bare. Unique and true… Continue reading Fly Away
Tomorrow is the day many return to work and school after enjoying time off from the hustle and bustle. This morning, as I woke up late, spent some time stretching and meditating, did some gardening, and prepared some art materials, I was very aware of how relaxed and calm I was. It took me a… Continue reading Dealing With the “Have to Dos”
And just like that, a new decade is upon us. It’s been a long while since I’ve had time to just stop and think. Well, since I have made time to think. Busyness consumes us. I personally believe that there are very few who are immune in today’s society. We go from morning until night… Continue reading Finding Love in 2020

It’s been a long time since I have written, and even longer since I’ve felt inspired to write. This saddens me a bit, as it was my lifeline and an integral part of my life for a long time. It also excites me, though! Feeling inspired to come back to something you once loved shows… Continue reading A Blank Page
There is always a beginning point. That place between feeling utterly lost and taking the first steps to happiness. A kind word, a reminder, or losing yourself in emotion that leaves you feeling cornered and defensive. This place is a weird place to be. It is where you first start to see the light at… Continue reading The Tunnel
Holding onto bitterness Anger boils underneath I question where my heart has gone Why the shadows burry deep Your love is like a ray of hope Reminding me of what is real No need to hold on I’m better than that Darkness is not my friend Let the love light in Hold firm, shine… Continue reading Shine Out
Don’t tell me what to do, how to feel, or how to act. Don’t tell me I’m too sensitive, overreacting, or expecting too much. Don’t demand that I look at you or listen to you, and don’t presume to know me. Don’t claim to know how my world works or judge me for my stance.… Continue reading Just don’t…
It seems to be at thing now, that I start my posts saying “it’s been awhile since I last wrote.” Well, it has been a while. It is also a thing that I feel most compelled to write when I feel lousy. Coincidence? I don’t think so. Writing helps me sort through the tirade of… Continue reading Tired and Torn
