HELD CAPTIVE

He doesn’t normally write poetry but I mercilessly pestered him until he relented.  Be sure to check out his blog because he writes with an elegantly beautiful flow.  Be sure to stock your fridge if you are going to read his Summer Heat series though because it is naughty….which just makes me hungry….and fat. Written…

HOPELESS

This was written by a really good friend of mine who has been through a lot the past year.  Relationships, personal decisions, everyday stress has really tested him.  He sent me a thought he jotted down and it struck me how beautifully sad it was.  We hold on to all our relationships and sometimes it is…

LOST AT SEA

Written by TheNightSyde and Hastywords     She stood on the sandy shore Watching the tide play rock a bye Feelings draining, drowning Being washed out into the sea   The turmoil in her soul Reflected by stormy waves She knows the time has come And by morn she must away Away to where she…

A PRAYER I WISH THAT I COULD PRAY

Another joint blog!  I really love these joint projects.  Thanks for working with me.  This one is done by A Soul’s Walk and I.     The day I fell to pieces went Other than I planned and all that I had thought was right echoed as it broke. Colliding with myself an Emotional frenzy…

THE NEW BEGINNING – PART SIX

The ending to the story…. This post will be short and to the point because I don’t want to linger with these thoughts much longer.  I know I have to concentrate on me.  I worry now about the worry I have placed on my friends and family…added stress and anxiety.  But this is honesty…it feels…

THE STRUGGLE WITHIN – PART THREE

It was late… I was home, had my game face on and was trying my best to be a wife and mom.  I had gone to a festival with my family, met some friends there, and had a good time.  On the sidelines though taking up space in my head were some insecurities brewing.  In…

THE BEGINNING OF THE STORY-PART ONE

There are some things I wonder if this blog can handle.  I mean I committed to honesty and writing out my feelings no matter where they lead.  There are some things though, considering the real world (my friends, my family…they do occasionally read what I write) I am not sure I am ready to handle:…

HOLDING ONTO LIGHT

Inspired by a loved one but dedicated to all of those people in the world who don’t give up.  I know depression is a cycle, it is hard to be around, to witness, to be sucked into.  Many times watching someone go through depression makes you exhausted and leaves you feeling helpless.  But words do…

A PLACE INSIDE MY HEAD

I stand at the edge of the river with my eyes closed convinced my tears had filled the ravine.  Time is passing but how quickly doesn’t matter it just is and I am passing right along with it.  Sitting here in this world where nothing mattered felt like home.  Your tears feel warm on my…

STOLEN MOMENTS

Sometimes I wonder if he could utter the words that could save his life. I have never seen someone so full of pain and sadness and it kills any words I might utter in return. Depression is a thief stealing perfectly good moments and locking them in the dark. There must have been dreams and…
