One another

Life experiences

We all have tough times and some lows

Stay strong...

Writing in you everyday

Ideas flowing every way

I find comfort in your pages

Feelings coming out of cages

Notebook all mine to write in

No one else’s opinion

Filling pages up with secrets

I know I will have no regrets

You help me beyond belief

Offering me so much needed relief

I am grateful for the space

Where I can leave my heart in its place...

You changed my world with a look

You saw my face through the crowds

As soon as we met you had me on the hook

And I shouted it from rooftops, I felt so proud

You loved me so fiercely that I burned

Now you’ll only be left with ashes

There was some you missed, a yearn

You saw us only with rose-colored classes

You missed the most important part

You weren’t looking at me truly

It all happened from...

Adventures await beyond the grass

Beyond the safety of the shire

A power is growing over the land

And it’s the little ones that have the courage

They begin their trek in bare feet

Mustering courage as they walk

Accompanied by others of magical powers

And those of incredible skills

The key is not so easy to bear

It possesses its master obsessively

The key is a circle of gold that never ends

And b...

As I sit here and stare

My mind begins to wonder

I start to think of things everywhere

I can’t even hear the thunder

My mind is blocking out the noise

And is now allowed to unfold

No distracting shiny toys

That keep my mind in a mold

I sit in silence and compare

How peaceful this moment feels

No distractions to make me care

It’s so soothing that it heals

I start to feel beyond just me

About ...

What a day it is today

It’s practically perfect in every way

I wake up feeling bright and cheery

Despite the weather being so dreary

I stretch out my body tight from the night

I get mentally ready to enter the daily fight

I go over to start the coffee pot

I like to sip it while nice and hot

There is no sound other than laughter

There is a peace that’s been heavily sought after

I then play my fa...

Oh comfy sweatpants

How I truly love thee

With fleece inner lining

And colors of a variety

I love the way you shelter me

And how you make my legs feel

The roaring winds outside

Is nothing that you can’t heal

I wear you at home

Day or night

I wear you outside

With my face full of glee

Oh you make me happy

In the winters cold

The comfort you provide me

Makes me feel so bold...

“Oh my goodness not again, you aren’t trying to leave the house again are you?”

“Shut up,” I tell my anxious self, “I have to leave the house to get groceries!”

“No you don’t, you can just order delivery. You know you love that Instacart! So easy, you can stay in bed while grocery shopping!”

“No! I can’t keep doing that! I need to go out, feel the sunshine, talk to people, walk around. You know...

I jolt awake, my heart beating fast. It feels like a million beats per minute. The room is completely dark and silent. The stillness doesn’t creep me out but there’s something else that does, I don’t know what it is. I look over at Jerry. He is sound asleep, exhausted from his work week. It’s been a rough one for him and he’s been passing out early every night. His temper can get to him when he’s ...

Today was the day I left her, my whole world has been turned upside down. I thought I would be ok with this whole process but I have never felt anything like this pain. I knew it would be difficult but I didn’t think I would want her back. I am sitting here in my car thinking how could I do that to her? Just walk out of her life forever? The Johnsons have been so patient and nice with me. They pai...
