I Never Meant To Be

Sometimes it’s like the world
Is crashing down on me
Everything I do
makes me want to scream
And I swear that’s not the woman
I ever meant to be…

I Must Remember

I must remember that I am human;

I am able to be broken, manipulated –

I am malleable in the most stubborn of ways

 

I must remember the spaces between friends;

I need not have someone at the doorstep

The night through while I sleep

 

I must remember the pain I once felt;

I must remember the joy I once had.

A spark of star shine

Illuminated;

A heart no longer confined

In darkness’ depth

But resurrected with a brilliance

To rival sun beams streaming;

I am…

a drop of water
in an ocean vast
a speck of sand
beneath tumultuous
waves that crash

~ Introspection ~

~ Introspection ~

Cusp of enlightenment
Petals of minds eye flowers
Unison of self

Refusing to “let go”
In similitude of humans
Though knowing what they know…

I was lost
‘Til I dared
Look inside
Find myself

Introspect

I wonder about the people around me

About their hidden faces, their jutting angles

About what their wrinkles, facets and scars hold

Sometimes I do not think about the little things at all

Of time, there isn’t enough

We cannot all afford to be dreamers,

 But dream, we must
