POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Reflections in Shattered Glass
I saw you through a prism, bright,
A figure of warmth, a guiding light,
Each laugh a melody, each word a thread,
In your embrace, I felt hopes widespread.
Yet as the seasons turned their page,
The colors dulled, revealing a stage,
Where smiles masked questions, and silence grew wide,
In moments of closeness, I felt pushed aside.
I let you in, hoping to mend,
A mother wound with a heart to lend,
But as I opened, you turned away,
Leaving me fragile, lost in dismay.
It’s not the first time this heart...
A figure of warmth, a guiding light,
Each laugh a melody, each word a thread,
In your embrace, I felt hopes widespread.
Yet as the seasons turned their page,
The colors dulled, revealing a stage,
Where smiles masked questions, and silence grew wide,
In moments of closeness, I felt pushed aside.
I let you in, hoping to mend,
A mother wound with a heart to lend,
But as I opened, you turned away,
Leaving me fragile, lost in dismay.
It’s not the first time this heart...

Trapped
Compressed within a fragile mind,
Lies a tender soul, hiding from the demons for the core beliefs they hold,
When day fades into night ,I hear the cries, I hear the screams, desperate to be cared for to be loved unconditionally,
deep within the darkness lives a little me, waiting for her adult self to finally set her free

Growth
On the days you feel lost,
On the days you feel alone,
Be sure to keep reminding yourself,
This is ok, I'm still learning to grow,
On the days you're overthinking,
On the days you'd rather just rest,
Be sure to keep reminding yourself,
This is ok, for I'm doing my best.

Inner critic
To my inner critic,
Do you mind keeping it down,
You seem to increase the volume, when good things come around,
You're like a broken record, forever on repeat, telling me i'll give up, so my goals stay incomplete.

Change
Do you ever question if life will ever change?
Not as individuals but the entire human race,
Will the suffering always suffer?
will the greedy keep be wanting more?
will the rich be getting richer?
And keep ignoring all the poor?
Will there be houses for the homeless?
Will the hungry get to eat?
Will we start to help each other?
And fight the inequalities?
Will we see that we are all human?
Will being different be ok?
Will we understand each other,
Or will we stay the same?
Will we look after all the vulnerable?
Will...

The world
What's happening to the world today, why are we so greedy?
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,
They have no riches, they have no homes, they have nothing, they stand alone.
So while we are eating and stuffing our faces faces, people are starving in other places.
While we sit and squander in our palaces not bothering about the needy,

Ride the waves
When life gets tough
And beats you down
When everything's manic
but you can’t hear a sound
When your lost and alone
So unsure what to do
Stand up on your surfboard
I’ll ride the waves too
The storm will pass
The sun will shine
Some storms last longer
But I promise you’re fine
If the waves are too much
And the currents too strong
Sit down for a while
But still hold on.

Thoughts
My thoughts, a place I visit quiet frequently, a place where you never sleep.
there's many boxes here, most of them filled up with fear, there's a box for mistakes, well maybe a few and a box for bad attitude
there's a box for change but that seems quiet empty, it's my rotten old brain that makes me resent me.

Forgiving oneself
As years go by I understand
That all the failures helped me stand
They built me up and made me strong
They helped me know what’s right from wrong
As years go by my eyes they see
That I am perfect just as me
That people talk and let you down
get back up when you hit the ground
As years go by I let things go
For the past is a journey that helped me grow
The mistake I’ve made are part of me
I hold them close they set me free
As years go by, I get it now
Keep your heart safe and sound
Build your bridges, protect your health ...

Baby blue
My empty heart is aching
My eyes so full of pain
I hate these moment of silence
They remind me you’ve gone away
I want you to be with me
A unit once again
I want my little boy
I need to make amends
I wish that time would turn back
So I could correct my wrongs
So we could be together
Right where you belong
I miss you little fingers
I miss your little toes
I miss your smile, your laughter
I miss your little nose
I miss your little voice
I miss you being in my sight
I miss your big blue eyes
I miss...
My eyes so full of pain
I hate these moment of silence
They remind me you’ve gone away
I want you to be with me
A unit once again
I want my little boy
I need to make amends
I wish that time would turn back
So I could correct my wrongs
So we could be together
Right where you belong
I miss you little fingers
I miss your little toes
I miss your smile, your laughter
I miss your little nose
I miss your little voice
I miss you being in my sight
I miss your big blue eyes
I miss...
