Lying in my bed again. I’m watching the shadows dance across the ceiling, As cars drive by outside my window. I feel myself entering the valley of despair. Wondering what’s going to be on the other side for me, Wondering what I'm going to be, What I'll give up and leave behind. Wish I had... Continue Reading →
Another tragedy has hit the airwaves. Blood and tears echo thoughts and prayers. How much can we take? Are we past the breaking point? The corporations sell us the cure as a monthly subscription plan. All to bandage the gaping wound that they caused. Set the planet ablaze just to feel something. As the vision... Continue Reading →
Let me dream through the nightmares. Let me endure through the pain. Let me remember the good times and the laughs that we shared there. Let me resist the hollowness growing inside and the desire to give up. Let me find space, safety, and warmth. Let me see the light shining overhead again. Let me... Continue Reading →

During this time between Christmas and New Year’s, I’ve spent some time thinking about my 2023 and that inspired me to write this special blog as a type of time... Continue Reading →
Sitting in an office cubicle. Answering emails, pushing numbers. Creativity left behind. Small progress. Large progress. No progress. Doesn't seem to matter much.

Hope is not a fragile thing, waiting for rescue. Hope is a warrior that fights with bloody fists. A current that grows more... Continue Reading →
It’s two am when I sink deepest into bed. Toss and turn as my thoughts swirl and leave me teetering. I should be sleeping. But instead I spend time worrying. The quiet night calms me at first. But when the silence doesn’t hold, my thoughts get loud. Too loud. I get my loneliest at 2AM.... Continue Reading →
So many voices of people pulling me in all directions. Yet, I remain here. Stuck. Wondering if I'm too far gone. To do something meaningful with my life. Header Photo Credit to Pexels.comhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-gray-long-sleeve-shirt-sitting-on-brown-wooden-chair-5255996/
A lonesome soul. Watching the wayward water droplets race against the window glass. Wrapped up in a blanket of darkness and stars. Do not believe the deceiver living in your brain. Even as their words get harder to ignore. They add pressure to your chest. Midnight thoughts bleed into the sunrise. Usually the light is... Continue Reading →
