Soliloquy

If it is pain, 
Pain will bleed.
If it is love. 
Love will lead.
If it is here,
It is ours.
If it has left,
Walked out the door,
Left these words unsaid,
But said so much more.
May we let it go.
For it was more than pain. 
It was held in vain.
For you can’t keep something broken
You can’t keep it forever 
Forever without crashing,
Breaking yourself.
But pain is not broken.
It is not endless bashing,
Continuous angst,
It is not without change.
It may seem odd.
Overwhelming at least.
But without pain life is devoid of true love,
Passion. 
And without love, pain is not derived at all.
Love will lead,
But pain, pain is what makes you bleed.

    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 
  • 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
