.Project You

You…. Wake up every day. Eyes open, chest rising and falling. The thoughts, plans, lists and responsibilities start running through your mind. Your body resists the urge to move, stretch, get out bed. The lights come on, your eyes squint, your breathing patterns get shorter and you start your day. No matter what you doContinue reading “.Project You”

.Love

Love, I have found you. You are everything I thought you could never be. You are everything I never thought I would have. Love, dance with me. Live in color and grow like the beautiful flowers that surround us; against all odds I found you. All will be right, dancing like water with the light.Continue reading “.Love”

.underneath

You ask me where I come from. What I’ve done. Where I’ve been. Who I am.  I could write about my childhood…. growing up in a household with parents who don’t know what love is. With siblings that follow suit. I could tell you about the endless days and nights where I cried alone inContinue reading “.underneath”

.she is not me

I love going through my journals, and the endless piles of tattered notebooks that fill my heart with nostalgia, love, pain and sometimes with peace…. An array of emotions usually come over as I live out the memories in my mind that inspired the words and scribbles. Sometimes it’s a smile or a tear, sometimes it’s gut wrenchingContinue reading “.she is not me”

. the trail

An ocean of sadness that swallowed her whole. Questioning her sanity, she began to fall… Deeper into the rushing waves of sheer madness and pain. Always, she wondered… If it would be the same. She didn’t know just what to do… So she clenched onto her dreams, wishing that they’d all come true. She leftContinue reading “. the trail”

.highway to nowhere

People think I’m a drifter strolling down the highway of life looking for quick pick me ups to erase all of my strife… But my journey just beginning with every ride I hitch the curves and twists never ending there is no volume button or on and off switch… There are times I wish IContinue reading “.highway to nowhere”

.survival

How silly her mind, it plays tricks on her. She wanders through life alternating her route yet never changing her pace. She survived so long that she thinks survival shouldn’t hurt anymore… but it does. She loves with all her might, she feels with all her soul, and when the tide pulls back… it opensContinue reading “.survival”
