Insomnia Alchemy
Waking sky naked, blushes. Though irked by my gaze, sets my dreads ablaze.

Yes, it hurts Yes, it hurts worse knowing there is someone that could help but they choose not too Yes, it hurts knowing that person says they love you daily

Conspiracy
In shadows thick where whispers creep, A tapestry of secrets weaves, The world a stage, where actors leap, In scripted tales that none believe.

Drama Queen
In realms where shadows dance and gleam, There lies the heart of a drama queen. With eyes that flash like midnight stars,

Whirlwind . Top Story - October 2024.
Born for a life of darkened whirlwind. Where blindness isn’t in the eyes but of the heart and mind. Lack of control to know any better, full of potential to fall behind. Lost alone in the whirlwind of darkness, unaware of the world beyond it, there’s a light that is seen — one that must be reached. It livens the 5 senses and past. To see it, smell it, taste it. To hear it, feel it, and know it— that the whirlwind of darkness swirling inside creating a life of chaos and worry — has a secret — there is more. Run toward the light. At times one must walk, or even lay to rest for a moment — enduring the darkness, the bitterness, the cold and loneliness; but to see the light— to know there’s more, there’s hope and strength that creates its own spark. It energizes, emerges, it’s the passion that one stays alive for. Not the destination nor the final goal — but the passion of bouncing in and out of the bitter darkness knowing you are wise, strong, and oh so powerful. That, that’s what ignites the pride, a spark… a spark that couldn’t be seen — without the darkness.

Bird of the Land
The day I took flight, they cheered. "Look how incredible!" I liked the sound of the applause, so I kept flying, let them see how I am thriving.

Don't Let the Mirror Lie: Embracing Imperfection and Moving Forward
When the mirror is dirty, you won’t think it’s because your face is dirty. So why do you feel that when others say bad things to you, you must be the only one who is bad? Please allow yourself to fail, allow imperfections in life, and allow some people to leave.
