keepin' it movin'
I'll be honest
I don't know my full purpose
why I'm here
as fractured as a cracked egg
held together only by the tissues inside
but that's life...isn't it
an enigma tattooed in damage & stigmas
steps sometimes faltering
...others defiant
I don't know what tomorrow holds in its fist
only that it won't offer me an early glimpse
so I fumble...stumble...trundle along
one foot after the other
picking myself up when I'm beaten down
& limp off to try again
no...I don't know why I'm here
what I'm put on this path to do
only that I must walk it
& I'm firm in my foundation
come what may
or the universe throws my way
I
will
never
surrender

I'm either too determined or too stubborn. Once I commit, I'm all in. Merry Christmas π

One foot...then the other. Eyes on the road, mind on momentum. Merry Christmas, Pete π

Hello Willow,
Before gathering myself refraining from an inner tickling tear I felt I witnessed true sheer unarmoured feminine strength
Keep it movin! Keep movin!

Sometimes our greatest strength is our vulnerability. I don't try to hide mine, I own it & forge onward. I think a lot of people are afraid to show theirs...like it's a weakness. Weakness is in not being aware. Eyes open, feet moving! π

Dear W,
If your poems are indication of your burgeoning self then your strength and determination will continue to propel you forward. I really appreciated the introspection and self promise to make it in this write. Wonderful. Hπ·

Every day is a lesson. I'm approaching the one year anniversary of nearly giving up. Never again. I'm in this for every breath & every lesson. π

Never surrender, never that.
Your foundation is strong, girl.
There. Will. Be. No. White. Flag.
Damnit. I canβt add this to my RL.

I don't even own a white flag. Burned it with the pile of panties I refuse to wear. My personal declaration of commitment to myself here. π

Brilliantly written, Willow. Into the list it belongs. I felt every word, and can relate. Incredible ink. Appreciate you.

I feel like there are a lot of us fumbling along without a map but very determined to see it through. I've got candles & snacks. Hit me up if you need any along the way. π

Amen to this, sis. I think many if not most of us don't know why we're here, what our purpose.
At least I don't, but... like you, I will never surrender. Amazing piece, sis π

You've always been god tier of no bullshit policy and say it how you mean it, that's something I have always carried with me, that applies to wherever I may be and in what I write, when i've been around doing the graveyard hours I have done nothing but learn something, laugh and smile in our conversations and well, that's a lot I have to be thankful to you for my friend π€
and you can betcha bottom dollar that when I pass a Willow tree on one of my explorations I smile and think of you π₯Ή
in other words you are everywhere, whether you're aware of it or not π
You are incredibly loved and always hold a huge space here β₯οΈ

You just brought the biggest smile (& a sneaky tear) to my face! My daughter tells me my hair is places I've never even been, so I guess between the 2 of you, you have me everywhere. Ethan, you are a treasure & I appreciate you more than you will ever believe. π€π₯Ή
