A Childhood Dream

Daily writing prompt
When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five, I wanted to be a teacher. I would gather all my stuffed animals and toys and teach them all the new, exciting things my five-year-old brain could think of.

Poetry

Finding Stillness

My mind feels like a heavy stone,
Thoughts are tangled, all alone.
Trying to think but words won’t flow,
Worn out feelings steal the glow.

Clouds of worry swirl around,
In this stillness, no bright sound.
Just a sigh, a need for rest,
To quiet all and do my best.

A little peace, a gentle break,
To clear my mind for my own sake.
Then slowly, softly, I’ll unwind,
And find the strength back in my mind.

Poetry

In the Quiet of the Night

In the quiet of the night,
When the stars are shining bright,
I will come and sit with you,
Just to share what you’re going through.

When you’re feeling down or blue,
Know that I will be for you.
A hand to hold, a heart to hear,
Together we can face the fear.

If the road feels long and wide,
I will walk right by your side.
In laughter, tears, and all between,
You’re my friend, my heart has seen.

So, when the world feels cold and rough,
Remember, friend, you are enough.
I’ll be there through thick and thin,
A loyal friend, your strength within.

Poetry

Waiting for Love

Billions of people around the world

Idling going about their business, some,

longing for companionship, believing

love is the answer, but is it really

only time will tell

will you stay and wait.

Complexity of Mental Health

Daily writing prompt
What’s something most people don’t understand?

Many people don’t understand how complicated mental health issues can be. Some think that having problems with mental health means someone is weak or that they can just fix it by trying harder. But mental health is affected by many things, like genes, where you live, and what you go through in life.

Conditions like anxiety and depression are not just feelings; they can also impact your body, daily life, and overall happiness. This misunderstanding can create stigma, which makes it harder for people to ask for help. Talking about mental health and educating others can help everyone understand it better.

Poetry

Finding a Way Up

I sink lower

then ever

before

Nothing is working

I’m stuck

now

What to do

to get

out

Does anyone care

for me

ever

Yes they do

need to

look

Poetry

Whispers in the Shadows

Shadows softly creep, 

Whispers of deceit linger, 

Secrets in the dark. 

Yearning to break free right now.

To wreck havoc among us

Poetry

The Embrace of Time

Time’s fleeting embrace,
In the dance of days and years,
Memories count down.
Time slipping through our fingers
We must embrace the present.

The Digital Shift

Daily writing prompt
How has technology changed your job?

Technology has essentially taken over my job. In the beginning, when I first started working, everything was done with physical books and printed materials. However, now everything is digital, whether on an iPad or a computer. We have become very reliant on the internet, and there are times when the system goes down, forcing us to revert back to using paper-based information.

Poetry

The Nimble Bat

There once was a bat named Sara, 

Who worried her size like a para. 

She practiced each night, 

In the moon’s silver light, 

Now she’s nimble and light as a feather!

Poetry

Maggie’s Skyward Quest

Maggie was set on a quest, 

To soar high, she would give it her best. 

With hard work in her stride, 

She dreamt of the sky wide, 

Aiming to be the first and the best!
