Beneath the anger, almost every time without question, you’ll find hurt, fear, sadness, or grief. A useful tool when facing danger, maybe, to keep you at the ready. Even that I’d question. Fueling your anger with attention, acting it out as if it’s the truth, will get you no where but farther away from you.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Energy”

Poetry Series – Barred
I didn’t always have much self respect. I think that’s the reason now that people that had known me back then think I’m arrogant. It’s quite the contrast to grow respect and confidence where you once were a mat. But seeing my worth helps me see all of the situations I still naively agree too,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Barred”
Faces
The faces in the reflections are never the same faces as in the trees, clouds, leaves. The faces in the reflections are always looking back, looking at me, emotion heavily present across their face but the faces aren’t me. Reflections aren’t just for mirrors. I see them in the windows, on the shiny surface ofContinue reading “Faces”
Poetry Series – Potatoes
Since my miscarriage, every time I cry I have dramatically yelled at my boyfriend that it’s all over the fucking potatoes. He laughs, I laugh, and the crying stops for a minute. It doesn’t fully go away until it’s been unburied, let out, carefully addressed. When I cry and potatoes come to mind, I plantContinue reading “Poetry Series – Potatoes”
Poetry Series – My Body

What used to be months together before destruction now seems to only be weeks and I’m wondering if it’s me at this point.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Ex-plosions”

“You’re telling me this broad walked around with all of these dudes and SHE didn’t write a book about it? No, don’t believe it.” Maybe I’m not the only one that feels like my words have been stifled. Perhaps my voice isn’t the only one silently screaming from within to finally let it out. Sometimes,Continue reading “Voice”
Learn Your Learning Process
As I try to explain what, to me, is a simple math concept after my son gets a problem wrong, I watch frustration wash over my 8-year-old’s face. His little hands clamp into fits, his teeth clenched, and a small growl ripples out as he struggles to accept or even acknowledge, that the way heContinue reading “Learn Your Learning Process”
What’s in the Dark?
“We don’t expect a surgeon to have shame in sharing the same tools as a killer…” So I must confess as I make this reference that I’ve never really seen all of Star Wars but, we’ve all heard of the dark side, right? “Come to the dark side”, as memes, advertisements and jokes of allContinue reading “What’s in the Dark?”
