I’ve been thinking a lot about “pain tolerance” lately and the things we accept as “enough” when we really are looking for love. Let this serve as resolution that I am officially unable to water-down my wants for anyone. Whether I have been asked, expected, or volunteered… this is my immediate notice that I amContinue reading “Poetry Series – Love (hurts?)”

Poetry Series – Performative
Do you want to know the shameful truth? Of course you do, we love knowing we’re not alone in our monstrous beliefs and habits! The truth is, I feel most alive on stage. I love the attention and the physical proof that I am good at something. I walk away, shaking. Every cell in myContinue reading “Poetry Series – Performative”
Poetry Series – Two, Coexist
I’ve been having a hard time accepting that I can have let myself down in the past AND show up for myself in the future. For someone who so desperately believes that people can change.. I haven’t done great at offering myself the grace and space to do so. So cheers to coexisting – causeContinue reading “Poetry Series – Two, Coexist”
Poetry Series – Deep Connection
Tomorrow’s my birthday – hooray! A lot of deep-rooted mistruths have been surfacing as of late. I find myself holding to the light everything I believe and allowing to burn anything that can’t stand the heat of what I’m deciding to be. I don’t want connection, unless it’s deep. This year, won’t be shorting me.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Deep Connection”
Poetry Series – Suppressed
In the odd hours of the morning, amongst the silence – even the weirdest of truths must surface. So you stay awake. Buy time like it will be the next currency to sweep the market. Listen. Wait. It will inevitably hit… probably right around the time you’ve given up and are trying to find sleepContinue reading “Poetry Series – Suppressed”
Poetry Series – Privacy
As I write this, I’m mentally preparing myself to bare it all – performing poetry naked in front of a whole-lotta also naked people. This will be my second nudist event, and second scheduled poetry performance (like outside of my fun lil group of slams/open mics) and I’m here anxiously asking myself – “why?”. But…Continue reading “Poetry Series – Privacy”
Poetry Series – If I could talk to you today…
In years past, this longing to talk would be a begging to escape. Not today. Today.. I want you to see what’s possible. I want to see if you know what’s possible. I want to tell you – anything is possible. I realize now… it was never me that “wasn’t enough”. It was never you,Continue reading “Poetry Series – If I could talk to you today…”
Poetry Series – Borrowed Trust
The idea is that in getting married, you tether your soul to another being. Now woven together, each decision one makes intimately effects another. The deception lies in the idea that marriage is a requirement of this type of transmission when all it takes is agreement of energetic exchange, often given unknowingly. Regardless, through thisContinue reading “Poetry Series – Borrowed Trust”
Poetry Series – Continuation
We agreed to a sense of continuity. That the yesterday we had will blend into the today we are walking. I’ve been thinking about the term “working” – and if it is.Now, I’m just wondering where I can offer my resignation. Welcoming a new role where shifts are held to no limitations. Though I know,Continue reading “Poetry Series – Continuation”
