Wrapping my arms around myselfTrying to keep all the pieces together.The pressureThe only thing keeping me whole.Teeth clenched and lip closed.Worried I’ll open my mouth and it will all spill out. Header Photo Credit to Pexels.comhttps://www.pexels.com/photo/photo-of-woman-sitting-on-floor-3007355/
Stillness
Still doing the best I can.Still writing.Still looking for my purpose in life.Still appreciate everything my readers do for me.Still glad you are here. Still wearing my mask and social distancing.Still hoping that things will get better.Still trying to be a better person than I was yesterday.Still here.Still enough.

A savage beating.Unrelenting fists collide.Leaving you fighting for a breath. Coming after you again and again.Leaving nothing but bruises.Deep scars left all over the body. Every day a struggle against life and it's every attack.Piling on top of you without hesitation.But yet you still endure. Every attack leaves you exhausted.But just like Captain America, you...

Negative Headspace
Lying on my bed. Listening to the heavy raindrops hitting against the window. A usual calming sound brings anxiety. Relaxation brings only restlessness. Energy only leads to exhaustion. Too many thoughts plague my mind. Lonely thoughts keep me from reaching out. I'm fine I repeat to myself, unconvincingly. I'm fine just living in this negative... Continue Reading →

A Quieter World
Everyone is stuck inside looking out. Distanced from one another. Public squares are empty. Schools empty. Restaurants empty. All very quiet. Trapped inside our own homes. Stuck with our thoughts. Our anxieties. News blasting loud. Fear and blood by the bucketful. Please, make it quiet. Washing our hands. Humming to ourselves to count the seconds.... Continue Reading →
