My Trauma Wears Crocs My trauma wears Crocs— bright yellow, with stickers peeling off. It doesn’t care how serious you want life to look. It clomps into therapy, kicks its feet, asks if there’s snacks. It’s loud at the wrong time, laughs when I’m crying, sits beside me on the floor and says, “We’re not going anywhere, are we?” I thought healing would wear silk. Turns out,...

A frigid spell of arctic air adorns the tranquil western scene; a stunning glimpse of fall’s affair with spring’s vivacious flower queen. When autumn’s cooling wind combines with April's warming playful breeze, a whirling tempest paints designs on grounds of winter’s icy freeze. On sculptured hills of milky snows October's tepid finger strolls, and May's...

He says, "No soul will hear my cry.. No hand will catch the tears I dry." He says he shines, he says he gives.. But in his chest, no kindness lives. He paints with smiles, a brittle hue.. Yet every laugh he speaks is blue. He throws his echoes to the skies.. And begs the...

Twilight tiptoes through curtained clover leaves Cape starlings stanzaed thank mighty Lord spindly legs shake on spritely evensong breeze closing chirp reminding that day is just a chord What achievements marked chanting hours manifesting with helio hands and heedful head paper, pencil, thoughts danced about in bower patterned sensations twirled needle and thread A silent hymn I sit awaiting...

The world is quiet here Yet growing louder by the day Renting paradise from vultures Split amongst two flavors of instability I clamored and dreamed for that golden armor That title that would cement my name in history To be a "hero" to someone I'd lose contact with forever Scars fade, and eternity is short I saw my dreams given flesh No gaps left...

Be determined, put your game on, take it up a notch, jazz it up. Get into character, be your own best self. Rewrite your destiny, draw your path and follow it. Be fearless and audacious. Let your imagination run wild, you are the hero of your life story. Feel free to fake it till you make it. Be bold, be grand, be awesome. ...

My weight, smile, and spirit is back into place. Soon enough, love returns back to my mind and soul, but never in the form of you again. I...

You peddling poppy You soul Keep Keep going On and on Go and go Strive above and beyond Boundaries and imagination. The sky is far from your limit, You get it. Run. Run. Run Swim. Swim. Swim. Don’t hit the ground. You are getting, Now jump like there is no gravity holding you down. ...

Hey Danica, I don’t know why I’m addressing you like this as if these words are meant to be opened by your hands though they’re more like a whisper I’m giving to the air Maybe starting with your name just made it easier to admit I needed to speak at all There’s nothing pressing I have to say no grand truth waiting...
