Premium Member Thank You for Being a Friend--the Golden Girls Theme Song
To list all of Betty White’s accomplishments, besides The Golden Girls, I’d have to write a book. I’m thrilled that now, for just seventy-three cents, I can place her image on an envelope. Take a look! (Notes) Every blond hair is perfectly in place. As always, she wears a genuine smile. A hint of mischief graces her...

The Letter They Never Answered
To those who should have heard my plea— I write not bitter, but silently. In shadows where the messages fade, I found myself in silence laid. It started with a hopeful thread, A truth that whispered, softly said, To stir the waters, call a friend— But stillness echoed to no end. No ripples came, no words replied, Just empty space where trust had died. “You...

Being happy, shouldn't be scary
Being happy scares me. The thought that at any moment something can just wipe it all away. So happiness has always been a playmate I never invited over when playing Red Rover. It’s always been this thing that was a stop sign away. The sun is high but too far to brighten my...

Premium Member It's not so easy being a witch
Whew ~ I'm all tuckered out from doing my day-to-day spellcasting business, conjuring this and conjuring that, bewitching this and bewitching that, I hate to say it but I'm not the young enchantress I used to be. It's time for a break and have some brew ~ what I need next is to summon my charming warlock to make me feel those long...

Being in the mix of being Mixed
Being in the mix of being Mixed It's confusing, yet warm and cozy—like being lost is almost easier than being brown. The choosing of which path to take—sometimes, I find it simpler to remain lost, avoiding the question of who might find me. Sitting on the fence, being mixed is the truth I carry. The quiet indulgence...

Premium Member The Invitation
Imagine this An empty chair And opposite Another there You choose to sit You have a choice No movement. No whisper. Just silent voice You wait a while You close your eyes To calm the spinning.. Break bonds. Break ties Pretty soon You're feeling seen Such clarity Not like a dream Sat in the dark Creative light Invades your soul Joyful and bright The shadows Are no longer there No doubt or shame Just love and care Everything...

LOVE BEING LOST
Love being lost My tears merge with the storm The cool rain is making me sweat Don't want to be found Nobody is wondering Love being lost So enjoy the quiet vibe of being invisible So much of so many that I so miss Don't want to be found The mirrors go black in solidified hibernation Love being lost The apples receive scars from...

Autism And Savants
A quiet child with far-off eyes, Whispers numbers in the skies— The world outside may seem unclear, But inner stars are bright and near. He hums a song no one has taught, He draws from wells the world forgot, A thousand keys within one hand, Unlocking seas, unspoken land. She counts the birds before they land, She knows the shape of every strand Of wind...

Currency of Being Seen
No! Nobody forgets you. They just remember themselves more. It’s not hate, not truly. It’s the noise of their lives that drowns out the quiet of yours. They don’t sit around thinking of you. Not because you don’t matter, but because their minds are crowded with unpaid bills, unfinished dreams, and mirrors that lie to them, too. Nobody misses a poor person. Not out loud. Not where it counts. Because poverty makes...

Sorry for being me
I'm sorry for being black I'm sorry I ever cared Every moment Every smile Was pity Why be ashamed? When I'm just me Standards on standards to fit Expectations to meet People to please Now I am ashamed Ashamed that I could not fit and distort my true self for others Eight years old, on a staircase, trying to scrape off my complexion Maybe if I was not...
