Standing on that desecrated ground The wind blowing. Sunshine on my skin, burning your memory away. Tears were not shed, as too many have fallen before. I felt the beast rise in me, reminding me of my power. I took it back, you do not control that any longer. It's mine. You lose. Too many …
Anxiety’s Bitch
This medical alert bracelet, like a handcuff. Holding me to a past I didn't want. Condemning me to a future I don't deserve. Vibrant, energetic, and strong. My health was ripped away without warning. This can't be real. They must be wrong. I didn't deserve this. I want me back. I want my life. Unfair. …
Right Here Waiting
Always waiting, hoping. Wishing there was something more. Take it for what it is, no matter how little I get of you. A glance, a smile, or sex. But never your whole heart. Never. Will I ever get that? It's beyond my reach. I can't seem to understand why. I reason with you. I try …

But, while I've been basically bedridden, I have been doing a lot of thinking. I have a million ideas for projects, community involvement, books I …
Too Much
I guess I was just too much. Too loving. Too strong. Too resilient. Some people don't like that. Some people can't handle that. I guess I was just too much. Too much woman for a small minded man. Too strong for a weak man. Too much of myself for a man still searching for himself. …
Daily Prompt: Slight
This universe is conspiring against me. Dangling carrots, each amazing possibility. Here, look at this. You can touch it if you please. But let it go by morning, watch it as it leaves. A supernatural slight of hand. A karmic confusion from beginning to end. ~Kristen 5/14/2018 via Daily Prompt: Slight
Getting Back to Me
I'm not sure where I went I got lost along the way. I thought I found myself in you But it turns out that you were lost too. I realized that your appeal was an illusion in my brain. I never noticed all your faults I never saw that you were him. All the things …
