It’s dark, dry and hot. The sun shines through a sliver in the sky, though nothing grows here, there are plenty of others living here. All of them particularly violent and vicious. You have to be that way in order to survive here. This world is rough, but we still hold on. Legend has it,Continue reading “The shed”

Shatter
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”
Lost at sea
Imagine for a moment, A vast sea of calm but active waters. Wind in your sails, you’re on the move, making excellent progress to your destination. Everything moving as it should. In an instant, the sails droop, the water turns glass. The air is stagnant. Not a single sound is heard but your breath, andContinue reading “Lost at sea”
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

It’s always been a passion of mine, but I never fully allowed myself to do it, for fear of being judged, criticized. This blog has given me a freedom IContinue reading “Taking control”
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”
Morning thoughts
I sit here on the couch with my son, my baby girl rolling around in her play pen. Freshly brewed coffee in my hand, it’s warm. Comforting, like a warm embrace to your heart. I need that. My mind is simultaneously racing, and unable to think. Migraines do that. I have so many thoughts thatContinue reading “Morning thoughts”
