Sometimes ’help’ is a hindrance.  Sometimes the best thing you can do is walk away.  Know when to “hold your tongue” and when to let loose. Sometimes the answers we seek are found in silence.  Sometimes being in the dark is where we find peace.  Know when to push forward and when to take a … Continue reading Useless Musings

You gotta quiet your ego for a moment and listen to this: It. Doesn’t. Matter. What. They. Say. Or. Think.  What matters is the truth.  We’ve all been wrongly accused, but the only way you’ll find peace isn’t to make others believe you, it is for you to believe yourself. GOD, in all HIS Glory … Continue reading Ego

Fire in my eyesPressure building insideScratching as I blinkThe salt coarse and thickLike the air in the roomHeavy and silent as a tombThick with regret and shameBurning inhaling the flamesThumb pressing on my throatConstricting as it holdsThe gasp trapped insideThe panic I try to fightSitting with perfect composure Though feeling total exposure Inward tears crash … Continue reading Cry In Silence

It’s odd how someone far away both physically and emotionally can impact your life.  At one time or another, we all have certain people we lean on whether they are near or far.

We all have our demons. Some people wear them on their sleeves, while others try to hide them. My demons call out to me, anger me, yet comfort me, destroy me and consume me. I am who I am because of and in spite of my demons. They make me better and worse. Sometimes they … Continue reading Demons

There is so much that troubles the mind today. I would not know where to start. “Vanity…all is vanity and vexation of spirit…” Solomon had a way with words.

I literally hate this time of year… My depression is in rare form again, not that it left, just that it loosened its grip on me for a moment.  A few more months of darkness and hopefully I’ll be able to breathe again.  It sucks not wanting to do anything but cry and not being … Continue reading Keeping On…
