What might happen if I were to scream? Would anyone hear? If all my pain and frustration, anger, came out Would it be loud enough Or would it be too much force to make any sound? I doubt we will ever know if I can shatter the glass walls around me, Though keeping it inContinue reading “Shatter”

Internalize
I invite you, Come, take a walk with me. Quiet chaos awaits. Don’t worry, I won’t let you drown. Take my hand, It’ll calm the seas of torment. Talk to me, my friend. You’ll distract from the crowds of voices in my ears. Tell me of your thoughts, For I might escape the ties thatContinue reading “Internalize”
You’re a thief
How cruel you are To make pains linger And pleasures race past like speeding cars. How terrible you’ve been To make sadness stick And love a fleeting grin. Oh, but how precious time can be… The sentient minds greatest commodity, A thief. An immutable, intangible prick. ~A
The hammock
The summers air feels soft against my face Two pairs of tiny toes against me as we sway The precious tired stares from within my arms, The sweet sleepy face beside me. I would live in that exact moment for eternity, and I would never want for anything more. This hammock, this moment, these souls…Continue reading “The hammock”
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”
Water
Ripples cast shimmering streaks beneath the surface, A natural beauty, even in an unnatural place. The water stills, then crashes. A soft voice speaks, I know the words that others would not. Bath time for a toddler, chaos and calm. ~A
Forgotten
Words said are words unheard Memories made that are just a blur. Spirits wash away sanity Memory. Washed me from his mind… I stand, a pillar unmoving. The cracks that once beckoned my downfall Repaired by my strength, my new perspective. The hurt, the loss, the embarrassment, the shame I am not defined by hisContinue reading “Forgotten”

The calm dark
The air is still, I feel it. I feel the calm in the darkness, I feel sweet relief in the silence. As I lay my head to my pillow, I smell the comfort of freshly washed sheets, I am wrapped in warmth; body, soul and mind. I know we will all sleep soundly in theContinue reading “The calm dark”
What is this feeling?
I sit in silence, my babies sound asleep after a long tiring day. A day made more tiring from sleep deprivation and a migraine. But the most tiring of all, The man in the other room. The man who can’t utter a single sentence that’s new. A record on repeat. A one lane highway. MyContinue reading “What is this feeling?”
