Physical injuries warrant attention. They are clearly there Visible to all. The bruises The bandages They are battle wounds Of mistaken moments. Emotional injuries do not leave a trace They hide and are elusive. Leaving you struggling Without anyone knowing And easily linger longer than any physical injury. Sometimes I wish emotional injuries left bruises.

Teacups
I have a reoccurring dream Of overly ornate glass teacups With hand painted gold details All stacked up on each other Crashing down onto the hard wood floor Absolutely shattering into pieces Unexpectedly. The sound of the crash Jerks me awake Until I drift to sleep Only to have the same dream Repeating itself againContinue reading “Teacups”
Candlelight
The yellow light flickers gently, Illuminating my room Like the fiery sunset. The light is warm Like a tender embrace In the coziest of blankets. The light is unsteady Like my heartbeat As you caress my skin. The lights fosters an ambience Of peace and calmness Casting its warmth like a net Drawing me inContinue reading “Candlelight”
Motivation
Internal motivation is The drive The passion The desire The want To do better and be better Each and every day. Whether it is physically better Mentally better Emotionally better It only works if it comes from within. That fire that lights you up Won’t keep you warm If it comes from someone else.

Circuit
If the human body is a circuit Of complicated arteries and veins All webbed together Controlled by the heart And monitored by the brain How does a broken heart Truly affect someone? Does a broken heart shutdown the system completely Like a circuit losing its powersource? Or does it simply cause a momentary glitch ThatContinue reading “Circuit”
Soothing
There is something so soothing About watching the rain drops fall Streaking the windows Like tears falling down a face. There is something so soothing About hearing the rain drops fall Against the roof above me Slowly rocking me to sleep. There is something so soothing About the smell of the rain After the skyContinue reading “Soothing”
Winter
Winter brings the biting cold The cold that sinks into your body And aches in your bones. But it is no match For the hot coco by the fireplace The warm crackling sound of the wood The aroma of pine The cookies baking in the oven The laughs and smiles of family and friends TheContinue reading “Winter”
Mirrors
What if mirrors showed us what we wanted to see Rather than what was actually there? What would you see? A skinner, more fit reflection Or a more successful version of yourself? I would see myself exactly as is. As the work of art I was created as With my imperfections And flaws That doContinue reading “Mirrors”
