Leaves
The gentle wind blows The leaves dance They fall, fall, fall The tree is in a gentle sway They leaves move back and forth The tree is letting go The rain will come and Shower the tree It will remove all that was The tree knows the cycle Each year it grows a little more A few more leaves The nest lies in the tree Hanging on by its last thread It has long been empty Another tree nearby has life The bee searches and finds its flower Its wings too fast to see This tree gives life in a…

Perspective

I am going to be okay I will grow and learn about me Today was a step Tomorrow will be another step Today I stopped and gave myself a gift only for me I spent time reintroducing myself to a part of the earth that makes me whole again It has been awhile the connection It was long needed It made me feel at peace I am going to grow through I am going to let go It is not mine to hold anymore I am not in charge or anyone but me My life is finally mine to create…

What if?
What if those years were not in vain? What if you think about how you grew How you affected the people placed in your life? How about the fact that you are still here? You lived through one of the hardest things You still have breath in your lungs and a smile on your face Those things created you. They created the resilience unknown to many It created that women you look back in the mirror What if, for just one moment, you think about who you became What gets you moving now? What keeps you putting one step in…

Shift
Today a shift happened I was not expecting it I learned something about me It is about me now It is about what I want and what is in me It was there before and it is coming back out I saw the reactions of people Their anger and bitterness on their face I felt it in my soul, and I did not like it I wanted to get up and leave, but did not I did not expect that intensity Anger and bitterness of being in a job you no longer enjoy What is this life about? Do they…

Never
As I am awake this morning A thought comes through my brain They will never know They will never know how it felt to be unloved They will never know how it felt to be unwanted Just like I will never know what they went through Time to let go of the hands that held so tightly I may fall and that is okay A soft ground will catch me and move me into the next step I can not expect anyone to understand I can not expect anyone to feel what I did It what was what it was…

Heart
I housed them for nine months I nurtured them with my very breasts Four beautiful wonderful children They didn’t ask to be here But they were wanted by me Now I am not needed by them. Their cuts, scraps, and scars I know them too well They know none of mine I have to let go and move on They do not want me or need me They tend to thier own scars now They make the decisions for their lives I am not in control of them anymore The years I had them I loved But my time is…

Grateful for the journey
The love I have can be found It can be found in the heart In the struggle of what was In the struggle of what will be. I am in the struggle but it is over. There is no longer a push and pull. I will not be pushed. The love I have for me will grow.

Not looking back
It has been shown The lack of time The lack of giving I will move forward with my choice My choice to live for me Not for you, not waiting on you My life is my own Instead of wondering I am just going to move on So many things to see and experience So many places to still go I will find what works for me Step into the joy It has been promised Step into what is mine to grab My life, my choice It will be filled with trips Explorations and places There is a great big…

Tiptoe
The feet lead me into the room The sound of the tiptoe Quiet, so not be seen or heard A child grows up in the distance Never really included or seen Never finding their place She tiptoes as to not be acknowledged If they don’t see her They wont hurt her She knows she does not belong She never fit or was part of She wonders why she is out Her life moves forward She stays in the shadows She remains unseen by most They take what they want She stands with nothing left Discarded yet again No value, no…

Here it is
It is another morning looking for my place Looking for the home I seek My home and place are out there The people who have yet to love me I am walking this life I am on this journey of this life My life, unlike anyone else’s In the world today, my life is unique I will choose where to go and when to speak I look and nothing sits right with me The pressure of bills and life are around I will be okay this is one thing I am sure of I continue to look at, press on…
