One-self

Photo by Stefan Stefancik on Pexels.com I was raised to be a good person, that meant that I had to be polite, respectful, tolerant, and kind always. I actually have no problem with those things, as most of us don’t, yet they can still be a problem because they can lead to us putting upContinueContinue reading “One-self”

Birthday Cake

Photo by Markus Spiske on Pexels.com I want to write a birthday cake In sugar sweet poetic line Script a fruit-filled luscious taste Not an ordinary rhyme I’ll word it full of rum soaked fruit and underline with marzipan Ice it in a winter blue And scrawl my name on If I can On topContinueContinue reading “Birthday Cake”

Shredded

A little bit of light-hearted fun, and as close to risqué as I’d dare to go! ****** I bought myself a shredder I shredded everyday To make the heaps of paper Go noisily away I found piles of paper everywhere Under every sink Why I kept this mess of stuff I didn’t like to thinkContinueContinue reading “Shredded”

You Don’t Know Me

I live my life Never fully revealing who I am But it’s all there inside me The only place I’ve even been allowed To survive If I’ve tried to extend outwards I’ve been battered back A prisoner of their fear And the need to control in order to feel strong They haven’t won though BecauseContinueContinue reading “You Don’t Know Me”

Hope More

Year after year, decade after decade, it does what it does, and nothingContinueContinue reading “Hope More”

Breakdown

In hiding within No one knows how anyone else feels, nor can one person explain how another will react to the same situation.
