Writing is a powerful way for me to connect with my subconscious. The act of writing, by allowing a stream of consciousness to flow through me, often reveals insights and clues for healing.

For me, these poems and reflections aren't just words on a page; they serve as both a portal and a process. They allow me to explore and understand what lies beneath the surface. I'm sharing these words with you because I believe they demonstrate how vulnerability can be a source of strength and can lead to resilience.

I hope you enjoy these smatterings of my mind, and maybe they inspire you to write as well!

  • The winds of change

    bring winds of pain

    and with that we believe the stories of our grief to be true

    And what is true is merely the emotion buried in the depths waiting to be felt

    and if you allow it to surface in it’s painful glory

    what is true is merely you perfectly safe

    nothing wrong just as you are

  • In order to tame

    the wild beast

    that lives inside your core

    you must first

    say her name

    let her now that you are there

    if you reach out your hand

    she may bite

    for she is afraid

    In order to tame

    the wild beast

    that lives inside your soul

    she must first

    find her roar

    she must unleash

    her potent breathe

    For she was never meant to tame her voice

    Suppressed within the depths

    Her aching heart can no longer bear the inauthentic stare

    She must release her voice so pure

    So she can carry on

    She must express her deepest self

    for the wildness within her

    was never meant to be tamed in the first place

  • Wait!

    Before you go

    I need to tell you

    I love you so

    I didn’t meant to break your heart

    I was lost and backwards

    From the Start

    I watched you suffer from within

    You strength covered up your gentle skin

    I couldn’t recognize your pain

    I never felt my own within

    How do I help you when

    you’ve always helped me

    Just look in the mirror and you will see

    Love mirrored back

    The answer is clear

    To love is to accept and nothing more

    Wait!
    But it’s too late

    You had to go

    What’s left I carry and each day I grow

    learning how to love and how to let go

  • The truth is

    Loss will teach you how to feel

    Shame will teach you how to be

    Grief will teach. you how to love

    Pain will teach you gratitude

    Death will show you how to live
