Clipping to save money, not time
Over‑priced items causing a money shortage
Under‑paid individuals struggling
Pinching pennies like it’s a competitive sport
Only to watch prices jump again tomorrow
Not that anyone raising them seems concerned

Distance
Distance is needed,
like air between notes of a song—
space to breathe, to grow strong.
It’s the quiet pause after laughter,
the gentle hush before dawn.
Distance is needed,
not absence, but room for the heart
to remember why it belongs.
With time and space, love deepens—
like roots stretching underground,
reaching for water, reaching for light,
returning, always, to where it feels right.
Echoes of Absence
Unknowingly, you slipped away.
What did I do wrong? What could I have done
to make you stay?
All I ever wanted was to feel needed and seen.
I thought I had that with you,
but I was wrong yet again.
Will I ever find that connection,
or is it a dream just out of reach?
In the silence, I search for answers,
wondering if love can be genuinely returned.
Will I always be left with echoes of absence,
lost in the longing for what might have been?
Feminist
Fighting for equality
Empowering voices
Making strides for justice
Inspiring change
Nurturing hope
Illuminating paths where fairness unwinds.
Strength in unity
Towards a future where all are unbanned.
Preparation
Preparation is what’s needed
To accomplish what you hope,
With each small step and steady aim,
You’ll find your way, you’ll learn to cope.
Each moment spent in focus clear
Builds the path that leads you on;
With courage in your heart, my dear,
Your dreams will wake with each new dawn
The Beauty of Chaos
Tess made a mess, oh what a sight,
Paint on the walls, and glitter so bright.
She twirled and she danced, with laughter and cheer,
Artistic expressions, without any fear.
Her crayons went flying, her papers were strewn,
A masterpiece born by the light of the moon.
Though chaos surrounded, her joy couldn’t wane,
In the heart of the clutter, creativity reigned.
So let her make messes, for this is the way,
To learn and to grow, to dream and to play.
For in every spill and each smudge on the ground,
The beauty of childhood in chaos is found.
A Wish for Harmony
In a world full of noise and despair,
We seek kindness; it’s truly quite rare.
It’s not far-fetched to dream,
Of a world where we gleam,
In the light of compassion we share.
Your Canvas, Your Life
Paint the town any color
Be who you want to be,
Let no one stop you.
Chase your dreams like stars that shine,
Dance through life, let your heart align.
With every step, let joy unfold,
In a world of colors, bright and bold.
Not Your Project!
I am not a charity case
where you can do what you please with.
See me as my own person
who has feelings and thoughts of my own.
I have dreams that I cherish,
And hopes that ignite my soul,
Respect my journey, my choices,
For I am striving to be whole.
Whispers of Time
Amid the shadows of time’s embrace,
Nature whispers tales of a forgotten place.
Carved in stone, stories old as the sun,
In every heartbeat, the echoes run.
Eternal wisdom in the winds that blow,
Nurturing the roots of what we now know.
Treasures of history, forever they’ll gleam.
No Dealer of Emotions
You are not my dealer, my heart’s little guide,
Step back and be free, let your own self decide.
Control your own feelings, let them flow and roam,
Find your own way, create your own home.
Don’t sell me your sorrow, or joy wrapped in fear,
I need my own colors, my heart’s voice to hear.
So walk on your path, let your spirit take flight,
I’ll walk on my journey, and I’ll find my own light.
Together We Rise
There’s no need to be a snob,
In a world where kindness can rob
The darkness of division’s sway,
Together we can light the way.
No one’s better, that much is clear,
When we work, we have no fear.
With open hearts and open hands,
We’ll build a world where friendship stands.
So let us join, both near and far,
And see how bright our spirits are.
In harmony, we shall find our song,
For united is where we all belong.
Mischievous Ways of Rich
There once was a fellow named Rich,
Whose ways were a bit of a glitch.
He’d sneak and he’d snitch,
With a mischievous pitch,
In games, he was quite the switch!
Embracing the Dawn
At a checkpoint, I now stand,
With memories gathered like grains of sand.
The past, though etched in every line,
Is a tale I’m ready to redefine.
Each moment’s weight begins to lift,
I seek the present, a precious gift.
Letting go of shadows that linger near,
I embrace the dawn, the path is clear.
What comes next is mine to choose,
A canvas wide, no fear to lose.
With every step, I feel the sun,
A journey anew has just begun.
So here I am, with open heart,
In this chapter, I play my part.
The past behind me, I take a breath,
In living fully, I conquer death.
Dancing Among the Stars
There once was a girl named Michelle,
Whose dream was to dance, can you tell?
On the moon she’d moonwalk,
In zero-G she’d gawk,
And in starlight, she’d twirl and excel!
