I wound myself in a tight little ball Tucked away in a corner against the wall Folded in on myself I feel so small I see my chest rise and feel the tears fall. I’ve sunk so far and did it again I’ve taken the razor and shredded the skin Trying to let out what … Continue reading Trying to Hide

Winter’s Storm
Sometimes I get so caught up in my mind and with all the shit I have going on that I forget you have your own shit you’re dealing with too. And I’m so sorry. Believe me, I know everyone goes through their own winter at different times and some winters are harder than others. Some … Continue reading Winter’s Storm
Words
I had someone tell me to remember “they are just words, they can’t hurt you.” And I know that. And I related that to another friend as I was explaining my predicament.

Gaslight continued…
The flip side of Gaslighting is often showering with gifts and ‘love’. This behavior further confuses the victim. It is a horrible cycle; a living nightmare. Honey, don’t make things up You know how much you mean To me and the kids Things aren’t what they seem. You are the best person I treat you … Continue reading Gaslight continued…
