Poetry Series – Narcissism, Accused
I worked with a coach that told me that someones we need people around to point out the parts of ourselves that we can’t see. Without a mirror, you won’t see the tip of your nose. If something is stuck in the middle of your back, good luck catching a glimpse without coming across asContinue reading “Poetry Series – Narcissism, Accused”

Maybe the problem is that I haven’t seen enough money – I never grew up that kind of rich. Money MoneyContinue reading “Poetry Series – Money”
Poetry Series – Safe Adults

I went to a poetry slam for the first time last week and I think I expected to find aContinue reading “Poetry Series – Mental Abuse”
Poetry Series – An Apology
I’ve never fallen so hard in love as I did after I learned that I can love myself, too. For the longest time, every new person I’d meet, I’d drop my old self and try them on, hoping for a better fit. It took me years, decades of my life to realize that it neverContinue reading “Poetry Series – An Apology”
Poetry Series – Flat Tire
Flat Tire I watch the tire shrink to the ground as I prepare my argument for how, in this moment, I am the more deflated of the two of us.As I watch it melt against the pavement, I catch a leaf falling out of the corner of my eye and for a moment, the urgeContinue reading “Poetry Series – Flat Tire”
