When shadows stretch across the mind,
And purpose seems too hard to find,
A quiet voice begins to call,
A spark within, beyond the wall.
It whispers soft, yet clear as day,
“You hold the strength to find your way.”
The mountain looms, the path is steep,
Yet every summit starts with feet.
Remember why your heart once burned,
The dreams for which your soul had yearned.
Though clouds may mask the stars above,
They shine as guides for those who love.
Not every step will feel so sure,
Not every trial will be pure.
But courage grows with every stride,
And faith will light the darkest tide.
So rise, though weary, rise once more,
Your future waits beyond the door.
The spark will blaze, the path is clear,
Motivation lives in facing fear.

My New Book is Finally Here
My poetry collection Beautiful and Brutal Things is done. It's actually done and finally published over 270 pages. Over a year of my life went into this book. More than a year, really. Long days at my computer, sometimes seven days a week because I couldn't stop even when I probably should have. Then two months of editing that felt harder than the writing itself. But it's finished, and I'm still standing, and the book is real.
