Worth

Why are you imposing your view of the world on me? I know who I am. I am not misrepresenting the facts. I’m not being dishonest. I’m being me. Why can’t you let me be me? Why do you need me to absolutely align with your expectations or standards? How come you get to be […]

One

It only takes one,One reason,One idea,One person,One thingTo make a difference.It only takes one moment,One thought,For events to fall into place;To thrive,To achieve,To inspire,To grow.Being whole, Of one heart, And of one mindWill be the key to success.

The Power of Loss

It’s been hard living in the world mom created for us without her. Everywhere we go a memory ambushes us, reminding our broken hearts of the missing shards; of how much she would have enjoyed sharing in the fun. I can’t quite explain it. Four years into this motherless daughter journey, life feels more like […]

Petit Regret

I’m sorry for thinking that my love could save you, For not seeing the truth and its lies… For believing that in time you’d learn to love me too… I should’ve known better.

The Brother Sized Hole in My Heart

He chose to say “yes” to every request that crossed his agenda, reserving some time to chill and explore how he felt after agreeing to experience new activities and […]

Ether

I feel him, In the darkness… A glimmer. Hope? Love? Lost or found? It sure feels like the end. It was foolish of me to claim his heart, Even after he claimed mine. Without love, what was given can never be returned. What was owed can never be repaid. Perhaps one day we’ll realize how […]

The 9th House On The Right

There’s been one constant in my life; one undeniable and certain truth. Whenever I was feeling blue, happy or plain homesick there was one place in the world I could count on to remain the same: Grandma’s. It was 1960something… Layo and Delia settle on a one story, 1000 sq ft, cement and rebar beauty […]

Fire Can Be Made to Rest

Writer’s block. Layoffs. Grief. Solace. Enlightenment. Failure. A pandemic… These are prime examples of opportunities to just be; to tame the passions that may drive us to wander carelessly in a world full of promise and uncertainty. More often than not the mind needs a break from our duties and daily machinations to see life […]
