What happened?
Do you want to hear What happened to me? Are you prepared for brutal honesty? Skeletons in the closet, risking transparency. Revealing myself now terrifies me. Have I forgiven them? so important to you; And fears for my mother, Did he hit her too? Your conflicted emotions? not my responsibility. Holding myself takes all my…

Not-Shame
Gaining perspective, reveals raw edges. Twists and tangles, seen from new angles. Up close and personal, huge rôle reversal. Afraid of finality, too much reality. Swimming in a sea of fear and misery, Impossible to name so drenched in shame. Release the old story, Protection illusory. Could a glimpse of ‘not-shame’ be sufficient to change?

Dear Sister

Understanding
Dull ache at the temples. Painful, clenched jaw. Blank eyes, tight shoulders, Heavy hearted, withdrawn. Who is that person, The reflection I see? Unsmiling, remote. Is this really me? Stays out of the limelight, Afraid to be seen. Avoiding attention, Safer unaccompanied. To speak my story. Every word rings true.Reflected back in their eyes,“I’m sorry…

Watchful, a pleaser. Still, beauty shines Through solemn blue eyes. Tears flow silently. The only expression Of insurmountable grief. Prolonged aloneness Seeking accompaniment, Searching for safety. Speak, child.…

Ghosts
I dream of you, A nightmare realized. Inescapable vision, Nightly repetition. I dream of you, A permanent feature. Subconscious imprint, Eternal torment. I dream of you. A shivery chill Elicits icy draught of intrusive thoughts. I dream of you. Haunting shadows Of suicidal ideation Offer escape from violation. I dream of oblivion. A bid for…

Silenced
You took the words from my mouth. Fear strangled my cries. I wanted to hide, But you exposed me.

Memories
Some say that Memories Are what Dreams Are made of. If it’s true Then now I understand Why I have Nightmares. 🌻

Happy birthday Mother
Another year passes, her memory preserved. Her birthday indelibly etched in my heart. The hours pass slowly. More questions than answers. Did she know? Where was she? How to hold the dichotomy? No tears of longing, only sadness, despair. Why cry for a mother who was never there? 🌻
