I find it nearly impossible, often, to admit to what I’m feeling or thinking. No matter how much of myself I put on display, I still circle back and find myself embarrassed by the parts that aren’t yet out. It’s almost as if this disturbingly difficult journey has been just a little bit too easyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Laundry Dilemma”

Poetry Series – Chicken Butt
Some things become outgrown, over-used. I don’t know if this happens by chance, length of time, frequency of occurrence, or what other criteria it goes by. Perhaps with a little extra care, we can preserve the things most important to us longer than they would have lasted if we had approached with reckless abandon –Continue reading “Poetry Series – Chicken Butt”
Poetry Series – “Kiss Me” Cookie
I find such great irony in the fact that we both have said we don’t pick up on something unless it’s – BAM!! – right in our faces, yet we both show love in the most subtle of ways. I’ll never forget the time my Aunt asked if we have our own little language goingContinue reading “Poetry Series – “Kiss Me” Cookie”
Poetry Series – Gomez
I get just about zero of my boyfriend’s references to movie quotes, shows, but I love that it never deters him from making them and trying to explain what he’s referring to. Having a kid early took up most of my time to watch anything but cartoons and the movies I have seen only lingerContinue reading “Poetry Series – Gomez”
Poetry Series – Gamble
Gambling has played a funny role in my life. I’ve never been one for sports betting, mostly because I don’t know sports, but I’ve taken a chance on just about everything else presented to me in life. Sometimes the payoff was beyond what I could imagine. Other times I’ve faced great losses, learned things theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Gamble”
Poetry Series – Drunken Love Confessions
If you’re on the brink of giving up hope on love, I’ve been there. I don’t think we should ever give up hope on anything, though. What’s missing will be found in the last place you look and so often we find things when we stop looking. Maybe it’s okay to keep hope but toContinue reading “Poetry Series – Drunken Love Confessions”
Poetry Series – Missplace
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 – 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 – Waves
It has been the kind of week that I didn’t think I would make it through without destroying my life. I often forget that there’s a power in pausing and allowing before reacting out of fear, based off of emotion. One of the hardest things about healing, for me, is learning when to trust thatContinue reading “Poetry Series – Waves”
