She considers
carefully the decision before her.
One applauded
by those around her.
The other
settles easily near her heart.
A choice
between support or peace.
“Choose me”
her heart whispers.
Choose me…
Too Many Secrets
She holds
her breath…
To keep
the words…
From
falling out…
Judgment
Judgment is served
in all shapes and sizes.
She deflects the
critics as best she can.
Forfeiting her peace
to fight the daily onslaught.
Do they know
the scars they leave behind?
She is struggling.
Gone
She stands before him…
twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
Starry explosions of light go
off inside her head
the assault catching
her by surprise.
up above the world so high
like a diamond in the sky
Gazing up into the eyes
of her monsters
she recedes into the earth
a dimming light.
twinkle twinkle little star
how I wonder what you are
and she is gone.
Her Savior
He is beauty
and strength…
Her savior
in time of war…
Happy Birthday Shoes
The sun rises
another day
another year.
The smoke filled
air creates
an eerie beauty.
The numbing pain
crowds feelings
lost in fear.
What day
what year
will she find healing?
Happy
birthday
Shoes
She is searching
for a reason
to believe…
Unlovable
He said she
was far from unlovable
and she believed
For a moment
she tasted what love
must feel like
Her heart
opening to possibilities
never before seen
Imagine her
dejection when his lie
was unveiled
