Lie on a couch
pour it all out
one, two, many feelings.
they give you a pill
say ‘you can choose to chill,
or maybe you just need Jesus’.
'Maybe working out
can get the cobwebs out’
curing loneliness for one twenty five a session.
Tell you to write
Tell you to sleep more at night
tell you to focus on every blessin’.
Maybe I’m not broken,
I just see the darkness here,
and what I fear,
is I can’t share enough light
to find others who also burn inside,
so together, we can keep love’s fires alive.

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
