She Sits Alone

Photo by Slava on Unsplash   Yesterday Mixed in with Today     I felt like Superwoman yesterday   conquering one task after another with little rest and with no end in sight   after crashing down with barely any strength left I had to face the fact that any superhero within me had vanished   as I collapsed into my bed I couldn't see myself ever getting up again...

Too Late

    Too Late   The wind blows suddenly, and once again, change moves time, the Earth feels shaky, as I grasp onto anything within reach.   My heart cries out in silence, while people whisper and stare, wondering what could have happened, and how to clean up the mess I’ve made.   If only someone would have warned me, the suffering I had in store, I would have acted on...

    ~A poem about not having control over the uncontrollable~       No Control   I told the night to leave me, and asked the day to perish as well,  yet seasons and times never listen.   Time still moves no matter how much I plead.   So many days, I begged for tomorrow not to greet me, and begged again for winter not to arrive, even tried to will the...

Luckily I could afford to stay in bed a little longer this morning, but that will...

  Happy Thursday!   Hello, hello, hello, and happy Thursday! I hope you are well! It seems crazy that the weekend is right around the corner. This week is flying by faster than I can wrap my mind around. The weather is changing fast too. I think it’s supposed to reach around 80 degrees here today which is quite a change compared to the rain we had a few days ago. We even had some...

I Felt You Here With Me

  Happy Wednesday!!!     Hello, hello, hello, and happy Wednesday! It's one of my favorite days of the week because of course, it's garbage day over here. Today is also my orientation for my new job, so that will be interesting. Because of the virus, it will be through a Zoom meeting, so I won't even have to leave the house. What a strange time we are living in!     I am...
