I am Different, I *Still* Dream
I’ve always had ambition, Dreams, plans to make a difference. When I was little, I was going to be a nurse. Because nurses are nice to little girls. And then I realized how hard it was to hold small things, *looking at you needles 👁* Back then, I saw no ceiling on my dreams, noContinue reading “I am Different, I *Still* Dream”
Retribution
The idea that tit-for-tat is justice, Is ludicrous. For the height that we start climbing, Is not equal. The hungry. The fearful for life. The cold and isolated, Will fight darkness with fire. And fire burns wildly. It doesn’t make fire evil, Or despicable. Fire is hot, And, with the proper support, We marvel atContinue reading “Retribution”
What is Friction?
That feeling, when something just rubs you the wrong way. As I read a book, That I had been for a while, On attachment theory, and related research.

The Honest Truth
I would rather wear comfortable clothes And takes at least 20 minutes to get shoes on The easiest ones anyway. I despise makeup, And don’t get me started on polish. But, if I look “relaxed” No one thinks I owned the confidence game No matter how sure, strong, and smart I am, If I don’tContinue reading “The Honest Truth”
Shake it Off, And Just Stay Quiet
It’s a lot harder in the moment, Not to bite into that bitter apple of anger. And all those little things, the mindless ones, Are the hardest. And I bite back, When my fuse only warms. But I know, anger’s clothes, And I know to back away And shut up. Let it pass, Honored, andContinue reading “Shake it Off, And Just Stay Quiet”
