I have learned what to say
And how I must appear
I paint the smiles on my face
Avoid conversations I do not want to hear
Every day serves as a reminder
Is that not enough to endure
I do not like what has been changed
Or who I am becoming
The only thing that remains, is the hurt
Nothing is as it should be to me
I never expected this
That life would be so caustic
I cannot shut off what I feel
It is the only thing proving this… is real

Ascribe
Where flight became stalled
Because fear stood its ground
There- is where I- was reborn
Where I relearned my reality
As broken fragments of a self
Where I’ve seen the unveilings
Of time, truth, and Holy love
Where angels cried and wept
For my salvation and healing
And I- wept along with them
Where fire seared my mission
Forged into my soul as passion
A combatant for the wounded
Of humanities silenced…truths

I write meaningful (to me) poetry from my heart and share it here. I tend to approach everyone as a friend until they demonstrate something different. I enjoy having creative exchanges with others, like-minded artists, or writers.
