    Walking

    I’m all alone walking and I’m stoned feel the night rise behind my back I’ve got a flashlight but it’s still black
    I think it’s lack of comprehension but I’m not sure there’s no simple way that I can cure the tension
    Intervention, still alone hanging by a thread on the edge of the world
    Oh, did I forget to mention
    My dear you’ve gone to…read more

  • I Am Human

    Respect. It can be a tricky concept sometimes… but I deserve respect because out of the 8.1 billion people who live on this beautiful planet, I am undeniably unique. I am 1 of 8.1 billion. I may look, act, see, and talk differently, but I am still human. I deserve the same respect as the homeless man living under a bridge. I deserve the same…read more

  • I deserve it all

    “I’m an emotional mess”you used to tell yourself all the time. You were broken down and tired. Crying,throwing tantrums and assuming that the world was a cruel place to live, was all you stood for,Refusing to acknowledge the most beautiful, most refined and most remarkable creation ever to be made.
    YOU!

  • Most Influential Person I Know

    Also Known as Me 10 years from now.
    I hope you have a whole lot more memories now. I still have mostly stories. I don’t regret them though. That’d be a sad thing to do, regret the core things that made you who you are. No matter how much, this man’s struggles are of his own making.
    I hope we are working on visiting different countries now. Redo…read more

    Go

    My mind is mine, I love it so.
    My time is timed, wish it would go slow
    The bind is tight though I see the light
    Intervening capsules of life defy the integrity of thought.
    Insignificance has brought a rapture upon all that is lost.

  • Perfect standards

    Hey you!
    I wanted to let you know you are doing a great job in your life. Your getting things done and making things happening for yourself, kicking ass and taking names. Your mother and father are still together which is endearing and you sister is going to college, you have the best relationship with her.

  • The Gift

    Why do I desire the gift of the utmost respect?
    Because I’ve had all of the unwanted gifts already…
    the neatly wrapped manipulation,
    the perfectly packaged control,
    some homemade shame, tied in a bow of disregard.
    I unwrapped them, and these gifts took me by surprise. There are others I would have preferred, to be honest.
    So I put them on the…read more

  • Inverted

    I’ve never known a comfort zone
    Constantly being pushed into places I don’t want to be
    Dreaming, but only of nightmares
    Remembering, but only the bad
    Crying, but not of laughter

    I want a comfort zone
    A place where there’s peace
    When I get there, I’ll be so uncomfortable-
    But I’ll be happy

    I have dreamed forever about moving forward with my writing career.
    There were many different times in my life that writing got me through the pot holes and broken hearts, but somewhere in between different life lessons started to dim my voice and little by little, I gave up and decided to take a different path. My college major was assigned and…read more

      Writing was not something I was interested in doing, but I felt your comment about the writing so many papers in college. It was overwhelming and I thought I wasn’t going to get through it. I’m sorry your condition made it where you could not finish your degree. It’s not fair. I remember those papers felt like blocking out our creative…read more

It’s nice to meet you and I look forward to reading more of what you have written! I’m so glad you are here. 🙏

    The Big Shift That Changed My Life

    The year 2020 was one to remember and it’s one that I’ll never forget. The year 2001 was also one of those years between graduating high school, starting college two and a half hours away from the towers that collapsed on my TV screen within the first week of school. But, let’s get back to 2020 and how my mental health wasn’t the greates…read more

Being able to workout outside and go to the beach and just chill was such a privilege. So I totally understand why the move to Arizona made sense for you. You should be so proud of yourself for digging deep and doing…read more

    Spring Comes Again

    The last flower on the tree
    sits proudly
    waits patiently
    feels lonely.
    The breeze has been growing colder in the nights
    And compared to August the sun shines not so warmly, nor so bright.
    The flower knows that she will fall when the time is right
    for all must make that journey towards the darkness from the light.

    Three steps forward, 10 steps back.
    Why does it always seem that commodities I lack?
    I strap that pack to my body and fix my crown.
    For leaving a place of comfort never comes sound.
    Leaping into a world so unknown, praying on an outcome better than my own.

    The power of you and me / resistance & resilience

    Some believe our journey began in 1619 but I know in my heart that we have always been a people of high esteem. Folks don’t like to be reminded that we were once kings and queens.

    Farmers, warriors, mothers, and fathers. Praying to the gods and goddesses they worshiped to release their daughters.
