You ask too much Expecting an ocean from a cup A cup that used to overflow A cup that you emptied time and time again A cup that refilled a little less each time A cup that you’d drop without caring if that cup felt pain You ask too much Expecting the seas From aContinue reading “A glass half full, or half empty?”

I am… Me.
I am a mother A mother who never wants or desires a moment away from my children. I don’t need “me time” or space to myself My kids are parts of me, without them, I am not whole. I am a mother That instinct is strong within me I will mother anything and everything FromContinue reading “I am… Me.”
Would you believe?
I had a dream last night that changed my reality I didn’t feel noticed… I felt seen. I felt loved, for being me. I realize, yes, this was just a dream But oh, how wonderful the feeling When I woke I felt a gnawing unease. As I saw, that all my life, there has beenContinue reading “Would you believe?”
Across the water
To my friend across the sea I know life has been less than fair. You live your life helping others in need Helping some, that don’t seem to notice or care. — To my friend across the ocean All the battles you’ve fought have left you beaten and broken Yet kindness and love is whatContinue reading “Across the water”
Pigeon update!
No soul is insignificant No matter the vessel in which they reside. I sent this little quote/poem with the pigeon last night. The words popped into my head as I was getting it ready to be buckled up in transit bus. But let’s rewind the day a little bit, shall we? Monday morning, despite myContinue reading “Pigeon update!”

Dear Me,
I know things are stressful, but trust me, things will be ok. Sometimes we feel overwhelmed, sad, angry, worthless and scared. Things will work out for the better though, don’t you worry. We have been held down, walked on and been told we aren’t allowed to thrive. But thrive we will, we must. We mayContinue reading “Dear Me,”
I thought I could hurt forever…
I cook and clean and fold your clothes You never say you’re thankful anymore. I always thought I asked too much, is my fairytale idea of love, delusional? You know damn well that I’m drowning Heart is racing, head is pounding Is today the day I walk away? Maybe I can hurt forever if itContinue reading “I thought I could hurt forever…”
Manifesting a dream
I’ll be sitting, Cozy on the couch Wrapped in a blanket sipping Hot tea rests in my hands without a shadow of doubt This is where I’m meant to be. The walls of a beautiful home Open arms for love to roam Unafraid to crawl in bed to go to sleep I can lay soundlyContinue reading “Manifesting a dream”
