The Question

Am I truly alive or am I pretending to be,
That is the question that I ask myself daily.
In shadows I wander, lost in the fray,
Searching for meaning that slips away.

Each heartbeat a whisper, each breath a disguise,
Yet in all of the doubt, a spark still lies.
For to question is live, to seek and to yearn,
In the dance of existence, I still will return.

A Step Towards Understanding

Please try to understand,
I am trying my best and can only do so much,
Meet me halfway, the ground we can touch,
In the silence, hear my unspoken plea,
Together we’ll rise, you and me.

Let patience guide us, through shadows we’ll tread,
With love as our compass, let’s forge ahead.
A journey begins when we both take a stand,
For understanding blooms when we walk hand in hand.

The Enchantment of MAD Missy

The lovely malady, MAD Missy,
Was enchanted by a melody sweet,
Her spirit soared, her heart in flight,
As notes danced around her, pure delight.

With eyes closed tight, she swayed with grace,
Each beat a whisper, a warm embrace.
In twirls and leaps, she lost track of time,
In a world of music, she felt so divine.

So let the melody linger and play,
For in every sway, her heart finds its way,
As long as the music calls her name,
MAD Missy shines, forever aflame.

Poetry

Shadows of Doubt

When will the message finally break through,
That I am not enough for you?
Time and again, you’ve let me down,
Yet here I am, still around.

Why do I keep returning to this pain?
Am I simply a glutton for my own disdain?
Searching for love in the shadows of doubt,
Wondering what this heart’s all about.

Poetry

A Call to Healing

I’m sorry, I meant to wait
Until you called, a little late.
But the weight began to climb,
No one here to share the time.

I reached out, unsure if you’d be there,
Hoping you’d return, beyond despair.
I didn’t want to see another face,
It felt so wrong in this lonely space.

Fortunately, you answered my plea,
An appointment set, a chance to be free.
With apologies shared, may healing start,
A journey together to mend the heart.

Poetry

Beacon of Hope

Contemplating what I’ve done to endure,
I seek to inspire and uplift, for sure.


Amidst all challenges, I’ve learned to cope,
And I strive to share kindness, a beacon of hope.

Poetry

Journey to Blossom

In your own time
You will blossom
to be an amazing person
You were meant to be

In the quiet moments,
Find strength within,
Embrace the journey,
Let your story begin.

Tootsie Rolls!


Oh, Tootsie rolls bring me such cheer,
With flavors I hold oh so dear.
For a sweet, chewy bite,
They make everything right,
A candy that’s loved far and near!

Poetry

Your Uniqueness

Once a bubbly girl with a goal,
To be liked was her heart’s scroll.

Her laughter sparkled with such glee,
Yet mean girls tried to dim her spree.

She struggled hard to find her place,
But her passions set her apart with grace.

Then one day, she chose to be bold,
Accepting herself, her story told.

Soon others noticed her radiant shine,
She discovered true friends, feeling divine.

Now confident and filled with cheer,
Her uniqueness glows, so bright and clear.

So always remember, hold your view,
Your individuality is a gem that’s true!

Rising Above

Your three words today are:
DESTINY
DISMAL
DESPISE

Don’t despise me
because my destiny is coming true
And yours is dismal.
In shadows we stood,
but light breaks through the gray,
each step I take, a journey’s call,
a path carved in the clay.

Poetry

Nature’s Dance

Buzzing in the blooms,
Nature’s tiny sentinel,
Wings weave life’s soft tunes.

In gardens rich with hues,
They dance from petal to petal,
Gathering nature’s dues.

Good Times

A dude walks in with a curious grin,
surprises await, where shall we begin?
laughter rings out as the night feels alive,
adventures unfold, it’s here we thrive.

He strums a guitar with effortless style,
friendships blossom, lighting up every mile.
the stories he tells make us all feel anew,
magic is simple when shared with a dude.

from dance floors to sunset, the fun never ends,
with every new moment, the joy just transcends.
through ups and downs, it’s friendship so true,
life is a journey, especially with a dude.

so here’s to the laughter, the joy, and the cheer,
here’s to the memories we’ll hold ever dear.
may life be a ride filled with wonders in view,
forever be grateful for time spent with you.

Restless Mind

Sleep is not my friend

For I lay awake with many thoughts in my head

Strategies taught do not work

Sleep is needed, but I can’t obtain it.

Poetry

Nighttime Reverie

Beneath the moon’s glow,
Stars shimmer in the night sky,
Dreams take flight and soar.
Whispers of the gentle breeze,
Carry hopes on silver wings.
