I’m finding myself worn down by seeing just how deeply fighting has been engrained in our culture(s). We say we’re advancing but keep the need to survive alive. Our fear has become the most advanced weapon we/they have and it’s used against ourselves time and time again, by design. Getting to the root of theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Competition”

Poetry Series – Concussion
Life has been huge amounts of messy lately. One blow after the next and I’m trying to keep my balance but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t stumbling over the mess from time to time. But I keep getting back up, dusting myself off, checking to make sure the marbles in my headContinue reading “Poetry Series – Concussion”
Poetry Series – I’m learning too
I want to call it impossibly difficult to trust, truly trust, that you’ve got all of the answers inside of you. Then when my boyfriend says I’m right, I say “I know” and for a moment I believe that I already know the truth. I don’t know what the truth is, but I believe youContinue reading “Poetry Series – I’m learning too”

Poetry Series – Devil in Details
My need for variety will be the death of my so I’m slowing down and trying to build a skill – or two, or three, maybe four. I need to toggle back and forth, have diversity to my day. Sometimes I need to think of what I’m writing, other times I just have something toContinue reading “Poetry Series – Devil in Details”
Poetry Series – Growing Pains
The hardest thing to remember about growing is that not everyone will grow at the same rate. There will be times you grow so tall that the world as you know it is seen from a whole new perspective. We call this a shift. Some people will say in consciousness. I’m not sure if I’mContinue reading “Poetry Series – Growing Pains”
Poetry Series – Razorblade Nails
I’m always working to be a better person than I have before. They say people are mirrors and we see ourselves in them. They say you can only be triggered by that which another does if it also exists in you. We only recognize that which we too hold. And I don’t think it takesContinue reading “Poetry Series – Razorblade Nails”
Poetry Series – Dishware
The first three lines smack me in the face the second I open the cabinet and reach for a mug to fill will coffee, to carry me over when a 3am feeding turns into an inability to sleep. I have this itching reminder to find something productive to do with my energy so when myContinue reading “Poetry Series – Dishware”
