But now an eternal shadow is cast where I lay.

So as I stumble out of the unknown house, I wondered where the hell I was and what had happen last night. I was still a virgin as far as I could tell. I sort of walk, sort...2 Recommendations9 Comments -

Still I Rise by Maya Angelou
You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.
Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.
Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Still sick yet still standing tall.
No matter how out of control my life might be
I won't let myself fall.
Still in pain yet still laughing through the tears.
Never backing down throughout the years.
Still tired yet still strong.
Relying on my inner strength to get me along.1 Recommendation10 Comments -

so i can love thee

when i sulk about the past
people will be bad
but i can choose the silent golden path
to be happy to laugh
yes i do feel sick and stressed
it is hard to caress the sun
but i am a new one
who sees love as the kingdom
i feel like we forsake ourselves
for others to tell
us how to live well

The questions that haunt me Every hour of each day:
Why my child had to leave ,And yet, I had to stay
Still, my feet on the Earth, When not tucked away in bed
As I try to make sense of These thoughts in my head.
And the pain that is choking, I cannot hardly breath,
In fact, All I can do Is cry, mourn and grieve.
Only memories to cling to And replay in my dreams

As Mother's Day approaches, you know I miss you so.
Why did you have to leave me,
I was not ready to let you go.
Memories of yesterdays fill my empty heart.
A tear streams down my cheek, because we are apart.
I fill a bucket full of tears with memories of you.
I'm happy that I had you, grateful most times too.

Dress Up
Purgatory;
a musty closet with
the stale scent of cedar chips
at the bottom.
The scents of a home that remind you -
this is a family of four now.
A fractured fraction that tears your world apart.
A coat is hanging,
Daddy's coat,
still many sizes too big.
Tan corduroy
but layered like a quilt parade.
