Silver cars

 

Every time I see a silver car I become alert

And I immediately check the make and model

I do this not because I hope it is you,

But because I’m praying it’s not.

If anxiety could speak

It wouldn’t be a scream

But a whine

One that stalls and flows

Comes and goes

At the most inopportune times

I think that’s the sum of worry

And the distinction from attention seeking

Anxiety makes u search for the bad,

In order to find peace in the good.

    Warrior women

    A warrior princess 
    With golden armor 
    And an aluminum core 
    Told me to keep my anger 

    Let it boil and let it rise 
    Until the steam hits your tongue 

  • Lessons of Idealism

    May:

    Sun rays bouncing off the rubber of my soles
    Throwing me into the clouds 
    Hazy, glazed over golden 
    The realistic questions, the doubts wovet throughout only pinged me back down to earth 
  • Love Voices


    “Love, they promise
    Love, please be there 
    they fall back
    Love, they need you
    Love, forgive me
    Love, we love each other
    Love, love is enough”

    I love yous are not an apology
