Don’t set your expectations high for anyone else... You will inevitably be disappointed. People will let you down... Sometimes not on purpose. You might be the queen in your mind, But you are just a pawn in another’s game. You are limited in your advancement... Not free to roam as you think. Find your own … Continue reading Great Expectations…

Maybe I’m the only one, who’s had everything come undone; after orchestrating all I can, to control my destiny with my plan. Everything aligned, nothing out of place; check every I and every T just to be safe. And while I’m working on the details of plan A, preparing for that go live day, I … Continue reading The Other Shoe

Fists clenched tight Muscles struggle and strain Jaws clamped shut Upward shoots the pain Eyes glassed over Tears fall like rain Red is my vision  I fight to maintain  Exhale, inhale Try to refrain Hold it together  Composure remained  Inside rages war Acid through my veins  Cut you down to size Before it reaches my … Continue reading Anger

Cunning and illusive, Like the thorn buried in the skin, You feel and see the object within; But you can’t reach it… Your body knows Something isn’t quite right and tirelessly it tries to fight until resolution is found… It rots, beneath the surface Somewhere down deep The poisons start to seep Destroying the alien … Continue reading Seeking Balance

He didn’t know my name… I guess I should have been prepared, but I wasn’t. I was the last one he’d remembered.  When he didn’t know anyone else, he would always call me by name.  But not today.  I tried to keep the conversation going; tried to talk of the past, tried to jog his … Continue reading He Didn’t Know

You know how you get a text or email and it changes everything? Why do they always seem to come when you least expect? And why does it seem to always be negative? It ruins my day…especially first thing in the morning. It’s a dark cloud that hangs low, bringing me down under all that … Continue reading New Message

What are we racing towards? I get so caught up in the race against the clock and it is exhausting. Why are we constantly in such a hurry to make it to the next day? The next weekend? The next month?  We chase after milestones, and for what? What purpose? Do we not see and … Continue reading Race Ya!
