Paths that part
In the garden where laughter used to grow, We shared our secrets, watching time flow. Now paths diverge, and stories unwind, Friends who were once close, now hard to find. Seasons change, and so do we, Chasing dreams, setting spirits free. Yet in the quiet moments, echoes remain, Of inside jokes and joy, mingled with pain. Pictures fade, but memories hold tight, Late...

Best Friend
Be your own best friend, Your together till the end, Let those wounds mend, Send yourself some love, It's already been through enough, It's never given up, And emptied its cup, So you could grow up. Hold a better view of you, There's really two, Look deeper, you'll know what to do, Your...

Premium Member After a Writing Workshop About the Body
This is not my body. Not the one that used to tell everything to anyone— I mean everything, like I thought it might get me somewhere closer to known. I sat in a circle today, some kind of writing thing— you know the type. Lots of deep breathing and soft lighting. Someone cried reading what they wrote in the first eight minutes and I— well, I flinched. Not because it...

Premium Member Freewriting
the thought of you is consuming me even as I consume content on how to communicate with you. I won’t turn on the camera— the perception of being perceived is too much. I’m avoiding you like I do everything: dressed like a street urchin for plausible deniability, streaming lofi beats I had to Google. and if you’re going to know me, I should admit I started...

I Couldn't Live
I couldn’t live without A/C Though people all through history Made do with fans or else before, They sweated through the clothes they wore. I’d hate to live without my phone; Attached to it I’ve somehow grown Though I’ve survived, let’s not forget, When it was not invented yet. I wouldn’t want to live without The wheels that take me all about, For without car...

Always Him
How I love him, let me tell, A simple story, known so well, Just in my heart, a constant light, He makes my world feel warm and bright. He cares for me, in gentle ways, Through sunny days and stormy grays, A steady hand, a loving gaze, He lifts me up through life's long maze. Could I ask for more, or better be? No,...

Life is short but long enough to make plans and make some dreams come true Life is kind and generous it offers time for second chances and even a string of redos Life is short but in the end you'll be liable for what you've done but equally for what you didn't do Use your time wisely ~...
