Do The Opposite
If the way that you’re thinking Is not working for you, Then do the opposite. If life feels too hard, You’re done sucking it up. Then do the opposite. If you’re running after people who aren’t there for you. Then do the opposite. Don’t think the same thoughts, over and over. Don’t suck it up,…

Too Sad to Talk Right Now
Too sad to talk. Paint on a smile. Blank as we walk. Seek distraction. Idle chatter. Thoughts an intrusion. Drive to escape. Dark roads pull me back miles, decades. Painful feelings. Too much emotion is overwhelming. Fly high, far away. Seek out the light of a fresh new day. 🌻

Just Breathe
My head’s in a muddle, My mind is a mess. Too hard to stay focused. Again, I digress. Still skirting around, Avoidance my mission, The abyss that is lurking At the edge of my vision. Don’t shut your eyes. Keep focus ahead. Don’t freeze, keep going. Move forward instead. Allow space to breathe. The mind…

It’s my party …
Seated at campfire, Flames leaping, high. Excuse me while I hug My bottle of wine. Sing, rousing chorus. Parts harmonize. Bitter-sweet melody draws tears from my eyes. Wine-soaked, glass empty. Numbness, relief?Unanswerable questions. No end to this grief. 🌻

Two parts
** Trigger warning ** This poem is about trans generational (physical, emotional and sexual) trauma and abuse Two exiled parts buried, Thrust down so deep. I knew all along. That’s why no sleep. Peace of mind eluded me. How could it not? When I had denied myself and forgot. Two protective parts of me, both…

A Seat At The Table
Too bright! Light dimming. Too much! Retreating. A Jack-in-the-box, coiled, locked up, exiled. Love sparks Release! Fireworks! Relief. Hold sacred space, of beauty and grace. Vivid dreams, writing reams. Out-of-the-box! Excitable! Buzzing, Ignitable. Dancing inside, no need to hide. Joy overflowing, Radiant, Glowing. One in a million, a manifestation? Gift of Uniqueness – Finding Completeness.…

Decluttering
Letting go … One thing at a time. Pace yourself. Give away … Physical clutter. Less is more. Releasing … Limiting beliefs. Free to be. Surrender … You are where you are Meant to be. Just breathe … Transformational. Feel at one. 🌻 Happy Thanksgiving! Today I am grateful to have my dear, patient husband…

I find speaking to you terrifying
I find speaking to you terrifying, Because my fear of abandonment Looms menacingly over me. My neck on the guillotine. I find speaking to you terrifying, ‘Cause I find your anger triggering. If I fail to show up perfectly, I might trigger your wrath. I find speaking to you terrifying. One wrong word and I’d…

Just Be Happy
Such high expectation, That happiness is waiting Around the next corner, The natural order. As if years of suffering Could yield to offerings Of love and abundance. Not my inheritance. Tender years, innocence, A gift of resilience, Amidst the dysfunction, Devoid of affection. Despite high-achieving, No Praise receiving, Until a necessity, A public formality. Belatedly…
