Wishful Thinking
I don't wanna be a wannabe no more waiting for opportunity to come a'knocking on my open door and the day she does tho' the lights are on there's no one home as I'll probably be out to lunch knowing me so I wanna see 'Been there, done that!' on my resumé because I'm oh-so tired of being a never-was ...

To Ponder or Not to Ponder
To ponder or not to ponder - that is the question. Is it a waste of my precious seconds, minutes, hours To dwell on the questions that plague my mind? I spend my waking and waning hours mulling and considering, Crashing waves of question marks and possibilities Dance around in my mind's eye, quelling the beast of sleep. A skeptical girl's...

Premium Member What Was I Thinking, O'Yes
My arrival landed where I began my flight and journey Sunny San Diego y e s, I was back and how I missed it Oh-h-h-h, let me count the ways—rather days spent in a border town, oh what was I thinking? Ah that’s what, it was your sugar kisses Some artists dabble in the art of alchemy that wasn’t...

You Have Spent My Whole Life Thinking, I Am Something, You Are Not
You looked at me with mirrors in your eyes, Fractured by fear of what you could not be— A quiet heart, a soul that never lies, A hand that gathers stars from sorrow’s sea. You saw in me the things you cast aside, The gentleness you buried deep in stone, A voice that sang while yours grew small with pride, A love...

Premium Member thinking about swimming with dolphins
dolphins have a sense of play that resonates with me A spirit of joy and excitement A childlike innocence They take care of each other Appear to share private jokes I picture myself swimming with them But then I remember I would be terrified I am scared to death of the ocean I have seen the movie Jaws, haven’t I?...

DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
When trust is broken Feelings start fading In love you become lazy or crazy Can't confide in each other A place of peace, calm or serenity Now a battlefield, steadily pouring out aggression on each other. Two hearts that caress and defend each other Start bruising or humiliating each other As they wrestle The children watch, then start screaming Don't...

Female Cogitation
In conversation the sounds of her thinking astounds logic rebounds argument confounds rationale knows not bounds there's no reasoning with what she expounds or justification in that which she propounds when all facts fail and reality surrounds her point of view tho' it has zero grounds piled on in mounds with absurdity she compounds adding injury to insult my brain it impounds traps me wraps me saps my energy inducing mental lethargy causing ...

Premium Member Race Track Thinking or My Mind's Raceway
Race Track Thinking 16… little did I know the initiation began. 16 is hard enough navigating adolescence. Hormone dumping, the anguishing struggle to fit in any way—- relinquishing my individuality, and being true to myself. Unbeknownst, this was at my expense. I didn't choose these ADHD and BPAD diagnoses, and the other Alphabet Soup “ingredients.” They...

Premium Member Thinking of You
Early in the day at the break of dawn, while the doe is nursing her newborn fawn, and flowers in the fields are splashed with dew, then is when I'll think of you. As the sun rides high in a sky of blue and the clouds drift by and escape from view; as the birds...

Race Track Thinking I didn't choose an ADHD brain. At times a random whispered thought, barely connected, pops in uninvited, insistent to be acknowledged and immediately included in my conversation… Most of the time it's a detour, with minimal disruption. Thoughts drift, barely nudges the adjacent car, and our cars wobble… we stay on course…...
