I sit on the edge Dipping my toes in the vast unknown and uncertainty. I hear the waves of doubt as they crash against the sand on the golden shores, My comfort zone. 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
I am not sh*t
If for some reason you have something against the word in the title, this poem probably isn’t for you! I am not the ground beneath the shit I am not the shit itself I am not the shovel for shit I am not the wheelbarrow that holds it I am not the person who throwsContinue reading “I am not sh*t”
It only takes a second…
The harshness of words last longer than the second it takes to say. The harshness of words can last a lifetime, and hurt just as bad, years later, as it did the second you heard them. Let your words be remembered as warm and loving instead. Let that memory be encouraging, rather than demeaning. TheContinue reading “It only takes a second…”
I am
I am weak, when compared to a bear I am small, when compared to an elephant I am dry as a desert, when compared to the oceans I am fragile, when compared to a diamond — I may not be as tall as Mt. Everest, but a mountain I am I may not curve likeContinue reading “I am”
So much to give for
Sometimes life is cruel I often sit and I wonder why My wings were broken before I learned to fly — “Take my hand, I’ll show you how to live!” But I pull away, because I’m too afraid I just can’t break my feet free from the road that’s paved “You must! You have soContinue reading “So much to give for”
The past
My life has felt almost like a dream Waking from a nightmare to be thrown into a revolving door amongst wishes, only to be caught, unable to escape the relentless spinning. I remember too much, too young. It must have been a dream right? Cigarette burns on my youth skin and in my lungs. LockedContinue reading “The past”
I don’t have a title for this one.
I just want to scream, to let out every ounce of anger out. I want to pack shit and leave, my mind is already packed and ready for vacation. But I won’t. I stand my ground, I stay calm and cool. Be a positive example. It almost left a couple weeks ago, or so IContinue reading “I don’t have a title for this one.”
The currents of time
You’ll find me in the corners of my mind. Soaking up the warm rays of the sun, melting away anger. You’ll find me in the cracks of my heart. Walking the forest clearing in summer, quiet, dampening the rage inside. You’ll find me in the current of my soul. Waiting for peace to embrace us.Continue reading “The currents of time”
