Let me give you some inspiration
Today I woke up thinking that I wanted to start sharing some writing prompts with you. Whether you are a writer or not, I feel like this is something that could be fun for you (and for me, if you decide to share!) And while I’ve been pondering this idea all day, it is onlyContinue reading “Let me give you some inspiration”
The Ash Tree
Freshly fallen rain clings to the Ash tree. The cool, crisp nights air rustling its yellowing leaves, the droplets dancing under the moons full face. It’s beautiful. The moonlight, the wind, the rustle of leaves, the water beads… Shimmering liquid glass amongst the trees. Scattered throughout this branch of the world tree, like stars inContinue reading “The Ash Tree”
It was her game, I was the next play.
An unnatural gaze happened upon mine. The intense stare from down the crowded hall made me uncomfortable, but I knew I could lose myself in within the people. Drinks poured, food consumed and laughter ensued. The thought of that girls face had all but vanished from my mind. I walked to my hotel room, sharedContinue reading “It was her game, I was the next play.”
A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears
Sitting in silence the body and mind at war. Fight and flight responses firing at once. Fighting is impossible, With flight, there is no escape. Filled with torment and hate. Internally screaming with anger and rage Panic ensues when boundaries are broken How foolish I’ve been And how foolish I am. False hopes and dreamsContinue reading “A puddle of fears, a mountain of tears”

In a daze
It’s only a phase Like the moon it waxes and wanes Can’t you help me escape? This body and it’s infinite pains? Shoot me a gaze From amidst this haze Locked in this glaze Like pottery , I’ll break. There’s been a mistake Of the choices I make I give and you take I trembleContinue reading “In a daze”
Beyond the Walls: Chapter 4
Chapter 4 The hearths flames licked the air, some flames danced, others swayed, my mind lost in the tranquility it provided the room. “Does it still hurt?” Mama asked with quiet concern. I hadn’t even noticed I was touching my cheek where that burning scratch had been. I quickly put my hand down in myContinue reading “Beyond the Walls: Chapter 4”

I’m going to be selfish for a bit.
Today I had the full realization that I have always put myself, my needs, my life, on the back burner. Hell, not even on the stove but stuck in the back of a cupboard. So I decided that I’d do something today that I’ve never done. I’m going to be selfish. I am going toContinue reading “I’m going to be selfish for a bit.”
