Do you know how long it’s been since I’ve been able to sit down, comfortable on the sofa, and just talk? To have real, meaningful conversation, to be listened to and heard To know that someone cared enough to use up their time to hear you speak of your troubles.

Heavy
I am floating And I am heavy. I am emotional And I am numb. The minutes take ages And a year takes minutes. Reality has been unveiled It’s true form staring me in the face… I am stuck. And I feel free. Who am I… Who will I be? Things have been rough there latelyContinue reading “Heavy”
At the bottom of a hole
“We all start somewhere.” A phrase I’ve often heard when you’re struggling to make ends meet. Some will never know what it’s like. They’ll never know what it’s like to be hungry, When all you could afford was a carton of eggs with the pennies you dug from your car, and the 10¢ you foundContinue reading “At the bottom of a hole”

I’ve loved I’ve lost. I’ve been loved And not. I’ve been played and used. I’ve been a tool and made a fool. But for all I have given, And all I’ve been tossed, I still can’t give a price for what love costs. ~A

Sometimes my warm, golden shores are clouded by guilt, pain, and harsh words, But the heat of the setting sun warms myContinue reading “Golden shores”
She is
She is resounding strength. You may not see her scars, But oh, the battles she has fought. She is soft, when others are hard Though she is sweet, she is not for the faint of heart. She has made oceans from tears Made life from sacrifice She has made dreams from nightmares She has foundContinue reading “She is”
Silence
If the only sound is silence, Listen. Listen as deeply as you can And just breathe, you’ll soon realize there is much more to silence than just nothing. ~A
