Sometimes the dancing flame shows us what we don’t want to see. There is just enough light to illuminate what is right in front of us: shifting shadows and false security. Sitting in the candlelight  Watching how it glows bright How the wind blows right And shifts the way it throws light Showing how you … Continue reading Candlelight

I did it.  I said my mind and finally stood up for myself.  … I can breathe again.  Did anything change? I think so.  I’ve noticed a shift. Little things. I’m not so tense. The air is not so thick and heavy.  I can say what I want to say and I don’t worry about … Continue reading I Did It…

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

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.

The other day, one of my friends asked me why some people are made to suffer, in a relationship for example, while others seem to have such a pleasant life, happily married … Continue reading Suffering

October is pregnancy and infant loss awareness month. I am 1 in 4...not a day goes by that I do not think of the heartbeat that stopped all too soon. I mourn for the loss of smiles and laughter, the loss of hopes and dreams. A piece of me died that day... I thought about … Continue reading Jedidiah

On my way to church this morning, I felt this pressure in my chest... Today is one of those days I’d give just about anything to fall into my mom’s arms and cry on her shoulder. Not like that ever happened. Mom wasn’t the affectionate type. Neither am I. But that isn’t my point today. … Continue reading Today
