I’ve drifted through a lot of my relationships believing that I was there to teach someone that they can be loved unconditionally, even if they weren’t doing the same for me. I would stay agreeable until we parted ways as I so desperately held onto the hope that one day someone would pull me outContinue reading “Poetry Series – I’m Done Waiting”

Poetry Series – Weather
This was not the poem I was trying to write but it stormed in and drowned all other thoughts out of my mind. So here I am, watching the snowfall, writing about the weather, and falling in love – with life, the process, myself, the cold, and ultimately you. Weather Have you ever noticed theContinue reading “Poetry Series – Weather”
Poetry series – The Matrix to My Umbel
The difference in perspectives captivates me. After all, how can you not be amazed that a simple object can vary so greatly just based on the view you take? What looks flush and level from a head-on view could be a series of pieces, held out from one central location, stemming out to create anContinue reading “Poetry series – The Matrix to My Umbel”
Hello, Courage.
I found this poem come into my life the same way courage stepped in, silently and unexpectedly. The more time passes and the more experiences I gather, the more I start to think that’s how all of the best things make an entrance. The most meaningful bits of existence aren’t the ones you look forContinue reading “Hello, Courage.”
Universe
I don’t believe that we ever meet another person by chance and I also think that sometimes the only reason that we don’t have the life we want is that we aren’t yet ready for it. Neither is necessarily an easy thing to accept as truth. Some day, though, you see everything start falling intoContinue reading “Universe”
Poetry Series – Storm
Do you ever stop and think about the way the song you just love was really written about some person out there that you’ll never know? It wasn’t a factor I had necessarily considered until I started writing about people I know, realizing that whoever reads this likely won’t. Honestly, it’s one of my favoriteContinue reading “Poetry Series – Storm”
Poetry Series – Love Language
At 28, I already feel like I’ve done a lifetime’s worth of explaining myself. Sometimes it was an attempt to clear up a misunderstanding and other’s a frivolous effort to finally be understood. It’s not always easy to accept that if you have to try that hard to be understood, you won’t be. If youContinue reading “Poetry Series – Love Language”
Poetry Series – Best Friend
Each time someone that I found myself dating would tell me that they think of me as their best friend, I’d find myself puzzled. I couldn’t quite place what that would feel like which made it clear to me that I wasn’t thinking of them as the same. As this became a pattern, puzzled becameContinue reading “Poetry Series – Best Friend”
Poetry Series – Ex-plosions
I think maybe it was after my last relationship that went south, I confessed to Isaac that I felt silly and embarrassed at this point even acknowledging it when I date someone. What used to be months together before destruction now seems to only be weeks and I’m wondering if it’s me at this point.Continue reading “Poetry Series – Ex-plosions”
Poetry Series – Change
Self-awareness doesn’t always come easily. We have eyes that look outward, calling our attention to what is around us rather than within us. With phrases like “seeing is believing”, it makes it harder to trust what we know and observe about ourselves when we are busy seeing everyone but us. In an attempt to solveContinue reading “Poetry Series – Change”
