Dancing with Your Future Self

Ghosts and vampires, Picnic table ants, Memories both good and bad. Scary monsters, Sexy witch or nurse, Dressing for lives we never had. Halloween candy’s Long gone by ten. Wear your costume anyway. No one’s watching, But your future selves. Be your own fun today! Hello, Friends! I wanted to add a note to this little poem-post to say thank you. Your support of my page and my work has meant the world to me. I just wanted you to now that by liking, commenting, or just clicking on my post, you have made a difference in my writer’s journey.… Continue reading Dancing with Your Future Self

In Color, a poem of the atypical

She doesn’t know what she wants to be named, only that the tea-stained name she’s heard over decades of being talked at doesn’t fit. She’s a survivor but her feelings get purple sometimes. She sees in color what others only hear. Words are rainbow realities. And she’s confused for a moment when In a casual conversation They say “now you understand” Because she understood before. But they are only now realizing it. And she wants to tell them in scratchy red sounds That they are dense dull grey because they think they did something sparkly pink When really it’s that… Continue reading In Color, a poem of the atypical

Appreciate, a poem

Appreciate I cannot stand to see the way people make people cry. I cannot breathe when I see the suffering and struggling denied. Why can’t we all help each other to live our honest best? Why do we allow one dishonest soul to spoil it for the rest? Before you rise, remember how precious is the dawn, With all the world must face, it’s a wonder it spins on. If I could change a single thing, it would be the way we love. I’d make us all appreciate much more often than we judge. Continue reading Appreciate, a poem

Will to Rise, a poem

WILL TO RISE Will my body now to rise from soft haven, sweet and calm. Will my soul to stir inside and still living, carry on. Will myself to lift and stretch, to move with intention pure. Will my frame to strongly stand, giving in to life’s allure. Will my thoughts to clarify, and lock upon what I so choose. Will my doubt to nullify, beneath such sure positive truths. Will these dreams of confidence to never be denied my use. Will this daily stumbling dance to keep me safe from all abuse. Will my path to self-guided be, unless… Continue reading Will to Rise, a poem

Shifting, a poem of hope

Shifting Ajune’s past was scratched off and abandoned, an old snake’s skin left to decay on the couch. Free of old fears, unblinded eyes registered the beauty of the moment as each box filled. Youth is moved through trembling fingers, shifting innocence from the present into the past. The ones who should shelter and care, instead crumple pictures and faces, turning away. The last scene of a bystander life fades into an exciting new play called Freedom. Family should love. But the freed soul can shine from within, blooming with courageous self-love. Shedding hurtful perspectives and cruel words, Ajune passed… Continue reading Shifting, a poem of hope

Stand Strong, a poem

Stand Strong I have a thought to call myself a princess Of a kingdom long since gone to rest. I have a thought to take to sleep and wander Through dreams of flowered fields and oceans vast. I have a thought to take these in a bottle And drink them down without a bit of bread. But thoughts of feasting cannot sate my hunger And dreams will never satisfy my head. I have a thought to make my future brighter, Leaving behind scars of failures past. I have a thought to make my wishes simpler, That I might accomplish them… Continue reading Stand Strong, a poem

Build

If you build it, Some will come to see. Some will come to mock. Some will come to worship. Some will come to knock it down. If you build it, Build it in your own style. Build it with confidence. Build it with inspiration. Build it strong. If you build it, Let it grow from you. Let it be your everything. Let it represent your bravery and heart. Let it show your soul to the world. Continue reading Build

Know the Now, a poem

Know the now without rosy bend, When dreaming of a want, a win. You can’t arrive at a journey’s end, Until long after you begin. Unblind your eyes, unbend your truth, Take each determined step in life. Earn your value’s vaulted proof. Gain victory over every strife. The end will not delay it’s call, Just to wait for you to arrive. Find the path that will take you home, While teaching you to be alive. Continue reading Know the Now, a poem

Freedom

Freedom is different than I once thought. When I thought of freedom, I thought of what I could gain by losing everything I have. Of leaving and starting new somewhere else. Of a life not bound by the restraints of work and bills and cleaning. But that’s not freedom. Freedom is getting to take flight without giving up your place to land. It’s having nothing that keeps you from returning to the life you’ve chosen. Freedom is knowing that after all the travels and trails and trials, you get to go home. Continue reading Freedom
