In a manner of speaking

I have it all

Dreams are dreams no more

Once the future turned to now

Millions into billions

A free for all

Roots of family

The pillars of love

Builds of empire

Reforms the entire...

I want to eat mangos with you

while we laugh about our day

as the juice from the fruit

drips down our chin.

I want to sit on balcony rocking chairs

holding hands with ease

surrounded by ocean views

serenaded by the waves

caressed by the breeze.

I want to hike the pico Duarte

highest point in the Caribbean

camp overnight in fancy tents

create memories with every moment

we spend

together.

...

Watching his boy head

off to school, his dad fires

up the Nintendo...

What do I see when I look to the future?

Is it bright?

Or is dark and clouded in inky black waves?

There was a time,

When I couldn’t see me living past eighteen,

That I had no future or dreams,

What he did,

Ripped a whole in the fabric of me,

But now,

I see myself in ten years dancing and having fun,

Maybe married,

No kids,

A nice house and a lot of cats,

A husband or wife who likes me for me,...

Dear future me

Tell me

Are we where we thought we’d be?

Did we settle down

Travel all around town

Did we learn to love ourself

Put ourself first above all else...

I know what is in store for me in ten year𝐬. I am going to be living my best life,my new chapter. I can feel it! I know it’s going to happen.. I just know it.. I can feel it, unbearably, with pure, strong faith.. I will be with my kingdom husband, we will have a beautiful marriage blessed by God, our life will be like a real life fairytale! We have our beautiful children who will be very happy, w...

Happy

That’s where I want to be

Not a time

Not a place

Just a feeling...

In ten years time I’d like to feel

A starburst-flavored kind of zeal

I’d like to wonder, then believe

Life’s got my steps where they should be

A pen in hand and friends in heart

A dedicated room for art

In ten years time I’ll count me blessed

If I’m sat at my writer’s desk...

I haven’t grown too known to walk convention floors -

My face rings little bells, if any bells

It’s how I like it

Through the dealer’s hall, and panels large and small

Enjoying as the fan I always am -

And then I see them

A group of five, in homemade clothes

Adventurers’ garb, from a fantasy scene

I see them

And I know them

These five I put to pen, and brought to life

Now brought to life in tu...

In ten years time where will I be?

Sat at home? Or on the sea?

I wonder just how far I’ll go?

As far as town? Or Mexico?

Anxiety does keep me home,

I do prefer to be alone,

I don’t like going very far,

Fear has really left a scar

Home is where I like to stay,

I really should just go one day,

Something stops me, something holds,

I make excuses- plans and colds

Maybe I can work from home,

Somethi...
