How much of life is about forgetting who we are and then building the courage to journey back to ourselves once again? How much of this is just “the cycle” that is meant to be broken? What if – we can embody ourselves, consistently? Magical Apologies Baby, I’m sorry for the moments that I’ve yelled.IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Magical Apologies”

Poetry Series – Titles
I think back often to sitting at the bar next to a mostly stranger and letting him order a shot he thinks I’ll like as he explains to me how he came across his newfound confidence when he just woke up one day and decided it was who he was ready to be. I hadn’tContinue reading “Poetry Series – Titles”

Perspective on Mental Illness
I came across this today during my mindless scrolling on Facebook and perhaps this is an attempt to give meaning to my scrolling, justify it, or perhaps someone somewhere needs this. I did, once. Another perspective to consider: Everyone is fighting their own battles. People may not mean* to make ‘mentally ill’ people feel badContinue reading “Perspective on Mental Illness”
Poetry Series – Beacon
Hello, audience, be my platform. Can we have a conversation about how love and fear are at the root of everything? They are the thread weaving the world together and we are complicating it far the fuck more than we need to. Can I say that? Will anyone listen? I feel like screaming it andContinue reading “Poetry Series – Beacon”

It wasn’t until reaching adulthood that I realized not everyone’s imagination survived childhood. I believe the desperate need to preserve mine is why I defaulted to silence soContinue reading “Poetry Series – Imagination”
Even in my Weakness, I am Strong.
(Sensitive content/trigger warnings: abuse – sexual, mental/emotional/physical) I talk about general dysfunction in relationships far more than I gravitate toward the topic of abuse – whether it be physical, mental, or emotional. My immediate assumption was that I must have just gotten the most abusive relationships out of the way early and tackled those firstContinue reading “Even in my Weakness, I am Strong.”
Poetry Series – Change
Self-awareness doesn’t always come easily. We have eyes that look outward, calling our attention to what is around us rather than within us. With phrases like “seeing is believing”, it makes it harder to trust what we know and observe about ourselves when we are busy seeing everyone but us. In an attempt to solveContinue reading “Poetry Series – Change”
Poetry Series – Dark Figure
As I start to spiral, I’m never really sure if it was initiated from the outside or within. I’m too busy trying to stop the progression to pinpoint the exact source. Perhaps this seems problematic as if finding the source would let me solve the problem faster. Maybe that’s true but I can’t help butContinue reading “Poetry Series – Dark Figure”
