  Photo by Erriko Boccia on Unsplash       Does it ever seem like you’re waiting for something to happen that never comes? I used to say I felt like Cinderella, but the Ball never came. Something else I’ve found is that it’s never as pleasurable as I imagined when I anticipate something, and it’s almost like the excitement lies in the waiting. One of the only things I...

Breaking the Cycle

  Breaking the Cycle ~finally choosing life again~ Photo by Miguel Bruna on Unsplash It can get frustrating to read the lists of accomplishments others have made while I stayed stuck in this mental cage, barely able to go outdoors unless I have my “safe” person beside me.

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...

        I Blew a Kiss up to the Moon   I blew a kiss up to the moon and as he caught it in his hand he swept me softly off my feet and introduced me to the stars   and as I met them one by one it took one hundred years or more realizing that my youth was gone I begged the moon to renew my strength   and as I floated back to Earth every thought centered around...

         Running Away ~a poem~ Photo by Maxwell Ridgeway on Unsplash     I set you up and I’ll admit it I couldn’t take another minute in your presence with so much darkness deep within my soul     and so I sent you far away across the country right by the sea and every day  I hoped and prayed that you would always stay away    ...

Lucid Dreams Photo by Mikael Stenberg on Unsplash     incantations in the night like a chorus in my mind such a unique lullaby as I drift off into sleep   dreams of forests from new heights as I soar above the earth greeting birds who've taken flight my soul breaks free as stars give birth   I travelled in the sky and roamed 'til I no more could longer take this exhilaration...

Needing a Friend

Photo by Briana Tozour on Unsplash Needing a Friend   If you could  sit with me for just a moment   If you would listen as I vent away my fears   I need another human to connect with   I need to know that someone really cares   For I've been hiding in this world  a long time   I've been talking to myself and empty walls   And though I  sometimes...

Photo by Nicola Fioravanti on Unsplash     You say to cast my cares on you, but I keep worrying  anyway   You say you hold me in your hand, and that with your help I will not fall   Only you can give me the help that I need   Even when people treat me with hatred, and even when they abandon me   Show them all  that you are here as you intervene for me...

    Embracing the Night   Mist rinses my face My skin feels radiant The wind kisses my hair I embrace the night   Once in a forgotten time I raced with lanterns they won I celebrated their glory as the brightness framed the night   The night calls my senses and hugs my being with closeness only dark can provide No hiding in the night for I am hidden already   I smile...
