NO ANSWER

Something’s wrong Words itch and claw Surfacing vague Into consciousness Biting at the edges Of my thoughts Something’s wrong Taps on my shoulder But I am not listening Until it begins to feed Devouring my dreams Something’s wrong It begins to scream And it frightens me Understanding Surpasses me Something’s wrong Reverberates inside me Knocks…

SPREADING RUMORS 

I have had several submissions on the topic of cyber bullying alone and this first submission is from Darla Halyk. Social media is the new weapon of choice and it has been used to cause numerous devastating consequences for children and adults alike.  One single comment can go from private to shared with hundreds of…

OUT OF THE FOG

Today I am hosting an acquaintance of mine, Laron Chapman, who blogs with a few other friends at Queerwerks.  He has a beautifully strong voice and I am very pleased he decided to add his voice to my compassion theme this month.

SILENCE WITHOUT SOUND

Don’t believe the lies inside your head.  Everyone should feel loved.  Everyone is worth love.

I didn’t understand. I am ashamed…

MASQUERADE

Helena is my truth teller. She doesn’t pry, try to fix me, or even know me that well, but she reached out and told me she understood. In fact, as of late, I have several bloggy friends who have formed a casual support group. Sometimes, something will trigger depression but depression doesn’t need a reason…

BROKEN BOTTLES

Written by mcfcwolf and HastyWords   The noise was too loud inside my head the sounds reverberated like a dozen beat boys speaking street My vein so punctured that the beat of my heart was critically low yet these sounds like stars at night they show me which way to go Who is this inside…
