Privilege
The freedom of not knowing; Not having to know, Not wanting to know, Not needing to know. The luxury of “yes!” without hesitation, of “No” without repetition, choice without repercussion. To welcome the future with excitement and anticipation; honour the past with ceremony and celebration. Truly a gift to those that know. Use it wisely.

Game face
Get your game face on, don’t leave without it. Like a second skin, smile fixed in place. Rest your game face, When no one is looking. Fakeness is exhausting, the cost of a lie. Put your game face on, can’t cope without it. Mask painful thoughts, too hard to share. Keep your game face on,…

Keeper of the Key
Brave little girl, sits still on the couch. Hears arguments and cries, Dad’s angry voice, Mum’s distant distress, amplified by the baby. Dad locks the bedroom door, hands her the key. Brave little girl, sits with the key. Hears mums cries mixed with baby’s. Frozen in place, holding the key. Too scared to move, until…

Ghosting
I saw your message I knew you’d reached out. I wanted to answer but was paralyzed by doubt. What do I say? no words within reach. I feel hypocritical – not practicing what I preach.

Here & Now
You can’t control the people around you. All you can do is work on yourself. Take some time to reflect and look inwards. You’re not responsible for anyone else. Observe, don’t absorb the energies around you. Take some time to protect yourself. Stay grounded and mindful of your own actions. Set an example for everyone…

Can we talk?
How dare you call me, then talk all about you? Have you learned nothing after all we’ve been through? No questions or concern for my well-being. Just lies and self pity. expecting me to fix things. Do you ever stop, take a good look at yourself? Are you even aware of anyone else? Are you…

The Edge
Pause, Up close, At the edge of time. Stillness. Imagine a hand reach for mine. Soft kiss on the cheek, A scent comes to mind. Tugs my heart, a spirit to guide. Freeze this moment, This in between Heaven and earth, Seen and unseen. The before and after, what was, now a dream. Over and…

Why?
Why did this happen? How to find meaning? When tragedy strikes without warning. The loss of a life that was only beginning. Taken too soon. Find no silver lining. Deeply loved by all, lived life to the full. Experienced more than many ever will. Fearless and strong, always full throttle. A bright future awaited, limitless…
