Collide
Wild side
Worlds collide
She tried to live by the rules
Implement her Dr. taught tools
Strategies?
Remedies?
But it was a slippery slope
With only words as her rope
Observers filled with hope Continue reading
The Ring

The Ring
My skin goose bumps
I feel so small
As I crawl back
Into my corner
Beaten
And bruised
Confused
Like an old time boxer
Ready to retire Continue reading
Home
She is led under
As she wanders through the hollows of her mind
wondering what she will find
She stumbles upon memories of glass
That shine as bright as the suns first glow
Lined up in tidy rows Continue reading
