Bill (Billy_Snagg)
All of you ladies out there
Turn up your radios
I’m about to tell you something
You may want to know
You know things
They’re not always what they
Appear to be…”
Listen real close
So you can see what I see
A romantic at heart
He will sweep you off your feet
I know, I know, it’s hard to believe
But trust me
I wouldn’t steer you wrong
Take it from me
A world worn, love weary traveler
I’ve had my share of relationship-defeat
Here’s always there ...

Celestial Light
Planets aligned like mine
At a different time
Same…inclination(s)
Tour guide
Life guide
When I thought
Spirituality
Belonged…elsewhere
Your patience
Kindness
Acceptance
Encouragement
Showed me
That celestial unity
Community
Spirituality
Resides on a
Much lower plane
I couldn’t be more
Grateful
That you reached
Out to me
From DUP
My found family
Ahavati, I...

Sam I Am (SamNash)
Sam I am
Or hope to be
Like he
Though he’d deny
Why
My friend Sam
The not so simple man
I lead the caravan
Me, his number one fan
See, it goes something like this
For us dreamers who’s lives have gone amiss
We look to the one whose compass doesn’t drift
Even though he thinks he doesn’t have a grip
It’s how he roams these halls
His vulnerabilities telling all
He’s the kind of guy who thinks he’s small
When quite honestly, he’s the tallest of all
He’s not afraid to tell us of his kinks ...

I and Me
His ink, truth
His truth, bold
His friend, me
Unassuming and kind
I bow down to
The master of the rhyme
The romance in his erotica gets me every time
But it’s the humanity in his voice
His understanding of humankind
That makes my updates feed come alive
My friend, he’s one of a kind
And…
Had I not
Finally
Seen myself
As he sees me
Quite simply
I
Would not be
Thank you, I_IS_ME

My Anger is Black
Nothingness begets nothingness
A never ending spiral of bleak matter
You gaze into the void of me
Peering over the edge
Watch yourself
You may be drawn in
Evilness
Death
Sin
Take your pick
It’s where I’ve ended and began again
Cursed and haunted
My cracked soul
Broken
Bloodied
Tormented
Brought me to my knees
Hello Darkness, my old friend
A never ending spiral of bleak matter
You gaze into the void of me
Peering over the edge
Watch yourself
You may be drawn in
Evilness
Death
Sin
Take your pick
It’s where I’ve ended and began again
Cursed and haunted
My cracked soul
Broken
Bloodied
Tormented
Brought me to my knees
Hello Darkness, my old friend

My Thought For Today: Telling the Truth Isn’t Attacking Someone’s Character
I remember when someone who was once in my life told me that. They were going through struggles of their own and I remember sitting there watching their face, the emotions that flashed across as they spoke about the injustices they suffered at the hands of someone else and the defiance as they said those words. I nodded my head in agreement. Their words were truth. Truth is not an attack on a person’s character. A person’s character speaks for itself. If the truth causes a person to feel attacked there’s more than likely a myriad of reasons why. It’s not my place to be the person to say what...

Of Light
Suspended high in the sky, in your life
Often times hanging out
Quietly by
With a fierceness that can knock you over
Yet hold you steady
Those shining stars
Guiding
Opening your eyes
Your heart
Your possibilities
Illuminating the path you didn’t know existed
Their eyes recognizing stories your heart can’t bear alone
Their shoulders taking over when you slip into the dimension of the unknown
Carrying you until you can stand on your own
Only they know how monumental your tiny triumphs are
They’re the first to celebrate...

My Thought For Today: Holding Onto Love Too Tightly Doesn’t Allow Room for Growth
I’m a former plant killer with black thumb, therefore, I had no business having a relationship. I put everything I had into someone else without giving myself the nourishment I required. I smothered those relationships with love. I thought I was doing the right thing. Clearly I wasn’t. My boundaries were blurred.
Through trial and error and through learning more about myself and therefore, more about trauma and C-PTSD, I’ve learned that love needs room to blossom. Fear of abandonment, the reason I clung so tightly, isn’t going to keep someone close. It’s a noose, it traps, it...

My Thought For Today: Trauma Therapy is Like Truth Serum
Someone once told me that wine is like truth serum because when you drink it, all your deepest secrets and desires are made known. At the time I was terrified. Not me, no way. I wasn’t drinking alcohol at the time, but just the thought that my secrets would be let loose was too much to think about. Not my secrets, those dark thoughts, those images, the things that have happened to me, the things that I’ve done and how I felt about all of it…no freakin’ way was I taking any chances. No wine for me.
I’ve never had a drinking problem but I definitely have an addictive personality and...

My Thought For Today: Turing Pain into Promise
No matter how difficult life has been I look at the trials I’ve had as lessons. Not just the typical I won’t do that anymore, I know what to look out for now, I won’t let that happen to me anymore type of lessons, but the types of lessons I use as stepping stones, how I will achieve my goal of being the best version of me.
I don’t want to be defined by what’s happened to me, by my bad decisions or indecision, my medical problems, how I chose to react to situations and others, my prior patterns, the rage I had, or the promises I made that I couldn’t follow through with because I...

My Thought for Today: Green Flags, Red Flags, What About My White Flag?
It’s trendy to talk about green flags and red flags, those obvious and sometimes not so obvious indicators of heathy and unhealthy behaviors in relationships, but I’ve never heard anyone talk about my white flag, how I surrendered my rationale or my instincts, and ended up in toxic relationships or relationships that turned toxic. Maybe if I saw “white flag” it would have helped. Because let’s face it, we’re drawn to words that work.
I’ve surrendered to situations in relationships and the behaviors of others for many reasons, but mostly because my C-PTSD heart and brain didn’t...
