We’re always circling back to lessons, relearning from previous experiences. I wonder if sometimes that’s why I feel so out of place in the present day. Maybe I’m revisiting, relearning. It’s the only thing I can think to tell myself, sometimes, to keep from feeling like I’m going crazy. Missplace Where am ISometimes I forgetI’veContinue reading “Poetry Series – Missplace”

Poetry Series – I Mean It
I spent a long time saying I didn’t want love when I did. The truth was, I didn’t think I deserved it. I never believed it when someone said they loved me and immediately I’d start kicking into self-sabotage mode. I didn’t know I was going to break this habit when I did. Sure, IContinue reading “Poetry Series – I Mean It”
Poetry Series – Tired of Your Face
If you have a big heart, maybe you know the pain of desperately wanting to help someone that isn’t ready or willing to receive your help. I’ve often been much more willing to take suffering on myself than to watch another person go through it. Sometimes, though, we have to sit back and let theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Tired of Your Face”
Poetry Series – Lips
Life seems to be a constant search for finding the balance between light and dark. When the light is particularly bright, sometimes this takes a bit more of an adjustment period than I’m anticipating. I shouldn’t be surprised, I’ve always been one to squint at a change of lighting no matter how subtle. Every timeContinue reading “Poetry Series – Lips”
Poetry Series – Baby, In My Head
It’s funny because there’s not actually a correct way to date, to love, but everyone seems to have an opinion about your approach to it. It doesn’t matter how you approach it, someone will inevitably chime in to tell you that you’re doing it wrong and offer suggestions on how to correct it. Now, IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Baby, In My Head”
Poetry Series – Imagination
I’ve never quite understood boredom. I long for the moments where the world quiets down enough, slows, so I can escape reality and wander through my imagination. 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”
Poetry Series – Dreaming
I think one of the most powerful things we can do is let a person know how loved they are. Sometimes love scares you shitless and this takes a lot of courage, though. I’m looking for the courage to take all of these little memories I’ve written and placed in the sight of mostly strangers,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Dreaming”
Poetry Series – Yogurt
I’ve spent a lot of time getting to know myself better but it’s a whole other obstacle to successfully integrate the parts of myself I got to know into my life, my story, without feeling ashamed of them. Sometimes it’s hard to acknowledge that the approaches I took to cope with life weren’t always theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Yogurt”
Poetry Series – Love Hurts
I believe many of the people that hurt us the most come from a place of love and good intentions. We’ve all heard that it’s a mother’s job to worry but the problem is that worrying isn’t leaving room for trusting that we’ll be okay. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. IContinue reading “Poetry Series – Love Hurts”
Poetry Series – Bruno Mars It’s a W-Rap
I’ve said that I hate life so many times as I was hurting that I want to take this opportunity to acknowledge that I love the way life works. I love the way we feel drawn to people, often before understanding why. I love the way that inspiration, encouragement, comes in the shape of peopleContinue reading “Poetry Series – Bruno Mars It’s a W-Rap”
