    Own You Why do we do the things we do? What is it makes us go? And when we do what we should not, Pretend we didn’t know? Some say this is the way we are, Imperfect, full of sin. Some say it’s what our parents did, Still buried deep within. I say it is…

    I Believe In Us   When all the news is doom and gloom, And hope’s a fools game, Remember we’ve been here before, It’s just the tune that’s changed.   We only hear the worst of things, Bad news sure travels fast. But there is much that’s good as well, Although we hear it last.…

    Okay… so it should have been day 21. I’ve got a lot going on right now, so it’s not feasible to write every day. I figure I’ll settle for writing thirty poems in thirty days just not necessarily one a day.   A Writers’ Sin These words these words and more words still, how sick of…

    A mind is a terrible thing to waste on nightmares. But here’s another one. Enjoy!   My Night Terrors The bump in the night, the scratch in the walls, things wake us in the night. We are not sure just what we heard, we cannot place that fright. We tell ourselves there’s nothing there, inside…

  • NaPoWriMo Day 15

    Often we get so caught up in what we think we should be doing, or how we think the world should be, that we miss out on what is right in front of us.   The Prison of the Self some walls a roof a floor and such, do not a prison make sometimes it’s…
