Emotional Bank
…but I just didn’t like the imposter in me who was trying to take over…
I want to be recognized as a beautiful bug,
but instead,
I look more like a thug.
I’m not gonna strike or attack ya’,
I have a kind heart but I fierce appearance.
They tried to give me a makeover,
but I just didn’t like the imposter in me who was trying to take over.
Don’t judge my skin,
instead, hear my story to win…
my heart.
I feel my heartbeat pound a bit faster,
when I think about someone who is willing to hear me out.
Their listening ears are like an emotional bank,
that I’d gladly deposit all my stories, for as much as they are worth…

A Dart at Dusk
Seconds ago, the sullen sun set on the two of us… my exuberant furry companion and me. A fresh breeze embraces us, delivering welcome relief from the day’s oppressive heat. His typical stumbling and staggering along — apace with a sloth — has turned into trip-trapping, high-stepping, almost skipping along.

Ahhh this one's tender! Maybe we’re all just bugs hoping someone sees past the shell.
I'm hearing you loud and clear. Keep sharing your raw honesty.
I really loved it, deep and thought-provoking!
Such deep beauty. I saw one of these today. I wonder what it feels like to turn into a butterfly? 🦋
