Vermont has ways of making things that are harsh and scary beautiful – gorgeous, even!
Icy roads surrounded by woods that look like they jumped out of a storybook.
Icicles covered by a soft, white blanket dangle from each branch.

How can we keep John Lewis's legacy alive?
A good question that is, sadly, hard to answer.
People all over the country mistreating others just because of the color of their skin or their culture.

it's weird
because Vermont winters
are cold and harsh
but feel warm 
and welcoming
sitting together watching movies
and watching snow slowly drift to the ground in the morning
or in the moonlight when all is quiet 

So many things to write about
So many words to use
So many ideas running through my mind
yet none seem right
But I don't have the confidence to ask for validation
For an opinion
My ideas are for me
I don't like being judged

Maybe its the sheer blackness
Maybe its what hides within it
Maybe it's just the silence
Or maybe
Its the fear of being left to the mercy of my mind
Because that's where the real demons hide.
 

A sad girl
who writes sad poems
about sad things
and sad places
living in a sad world
full of sad things 
and sad places
with sad thoughts
so many sad thoughts
But sadly thats normal these days.
