I wish we could be friends
A poem on Female friendships and society's role in it
I wish we could be friends
We’d get along great
But I got some issues to fix
I think you got the same
If I tell you mine, will you tell me yours
I bet we can relate
It could just be that we’ve been pitted against each other since we learned how to speak
I tell myself I’m not that person but every time we converse, our conversations end up bleak
It’s not you, it’s me
or maybe it’s you and not me
I see you look my way the same way I do to you
Competition is all we see
I know you suffer too
Tell me how to get through this
You’re the heather anyway,
Am I your heather too?

A Letter to the Firestarter
Dear Firestarter, We can all see you, we've been watching you since you began. In case you didn't know we were here before you and we will be here after. We witnessed your rise, your setbacks, your guilt and your lies. We witnessed you start the fire.

Feelings Never Die
It is Valentine's Day again, and it bought back memories that were over fifty years old. It bought me back to 1971, and I woke up and I knew my baby was due today. I was big and pregnant, and I felt like I was about to burst wide open. Imagine my surprise when the doctor told my I had a due date of February 14. I couldn't believe it, and since my baby was due today, I felt I could indulge myself a bit. I had gained a lot of weight, and chocolate was on the no-no list, but I had came to the end of this pregnancy, and I hoped it would be okay, after all I would deliver this baby today. So I walked across the street to the grocery story, and bought myself, a peppermint patty, covered in chocolate, my favorite. Me and my Valentine's baby would enjoy it together.
