Collide

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
