I think it’s important that we go out of our way to make friends that come from places we don’t understand, it’s how we grow. I’ve made it an effort to befriend people that get a fearful reaction from me. No, I’m not saying to go against your gut instinct but once you get toContinue reading “Poetry Series – Mental Prison”

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 – Inconsistent
I don’t believe that everyone is entitled to the information and details of our lives. In fact, I don’t think anyone is entitled to it but that it is our job to voice, honestly, when a question crosses our boundaries rather than lying our way through it. I spent two hours in the dining roomContinue reading “Poetry Series – Inconsistent”
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 – Goosebumps
I don’t think most of us realize how magical our bodies really are. They act as indicators of truth, detectors of intentions. We live in a society that teaches us to be so hard on our bodies, tells us that they’re never good enough, and so we never give them the respect or attention theyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Goosebumps”
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 – 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”
Poetry Series – Prove Me Wrong
It’s only looking back on my experiences, on my decisions, that I see them with a more forgiving lens. It’s as if I need enough distance between who I am and that version of me to treat her like a stranger. I am so forgiving of strangers. It’s only looking back on my experiences thatContinue reading “Poetry Series – Prove Me Wrong”
Poetry Series – Voice of Conscience
There were a lot of times I found myself not trusting what my body was telling me. Clearly, that churning in my belly, the way my stomach is tying itself in knots speaks more to what’s wrong with me than the situation, right? This approach gave me my introduction to anger. If you stick withContinue reading “Poetry Series – Voice of Conscience”
