You twisted and manipulated.

You made it look sweet like candy.

Lines of reality blurred.

My mind began to spin.

Clouding my peace, thoughts...

Where is the sun?

Breaking through...

Fight, See...

Win.

Lindsey Altom

For me, writing runs in the blood. I've written songs, poems and short stories ever since I was a little girl. I mostly like to write about my life experiences mixed with a little fiction or just things that come off the top of my head!

Love is a River
Skin on skin, dark on light. Much like my heart, it dances for both. I dance for both the rain and the sun. I have danced through many battles, many wars however and I am now tired.

Nature Doesn’t Ask to Be Understood
Nature does not speak in sentences. It speaks in pauses— the kind that slow your breathing before you notice you were rushing at all.

I Do Remember
“Hi, Pop. How are you feeling today?” “I’m feeling fine, but who are you?” “I’m Jacob, your son. I was here visiting you yesterday, remember?”
