My Thought for Today: Silence Kills
Most often, suffering happens behind closed doors. Whatever the reason, be it depression, anxiety, abuse, neglect, loneliness, shame, serious mental Illness, addiction or addictive behavior, anything that causes a person to suffer is usually difficult for someone to talk about, so reaching out can sometimes feel near impossible. As the suffering builds, the harder it seems to ask for help and can it can become a continuous loop of anguish. The perfect recipe for that one thought to creep in and grab hold. And when that happens the people in your life may not recognize the warning signs. ...

HOLDING POEMS PRISONERS
I
once read years ago
that most of us human
beings have one or more
poems held prisoners in
our minds, thoughts and souls.
IN
conversations we affirm quietly
to others, "I have a poem I've
been planning to write", or
scribble it on paper and then
toss it into the trash.
THE
number one reason most poems
are kept in solitary confinement
is we're afraid of what those outside
in the world of "Everybody else's work
is perfect" will say.
DARE
to release the poem or poems
you are...

JUDGING A POEM
I
Confess that I am among
the innumerable souls that
dare to venture into the magical
and amazing world of writing
and reading poetry.
I
use to try to write and judge
poems by syntax, grammar,
and all the rules Mrs. Know it All
taught in English 301.
I
use to read the great and
well known poets and conclude
that "I might as well forget trying
to write even a simple poem."
THEN
after years of silence but still
in the corner of my heart there
was the urge to write something,
maybe even...

Cover Up
The truth is
He wasn't mine
He was yours
Sister
Yet I
Was there to protest
And as all of those
Who cried
Professed their love
Most did not provide
Their time
They were not there
To challenge the police
They would not dare
To hold a sign demanding peace
Your supposed grief
I was there
And you
Cried
So frantically
Fell to your knees
At the sight
Of his carcass
Along with all of them
Yet it was her and I
And another girl I...

Today is World Sjögren's Day
World Sjögren's Day is celebrated annually on July 23rd as a day to spread awareness about this life-altering disease while also raising valuable funds for Sjögren's research, education, and advocacy.
It’s a day where patients are encouraged to use their voice to educate those around them and to help spread the message that Sjögren's is a serious, systemic, and prevalent disease. And it’s meant to put a face on the millions of people living with Sjögren's or who suffer with symptoms but who are not yet diagnosed.

Broken Bodies
Prayers
So many prayers
Going up to whoever will listen
Every time I see an ambulance
A homeless person
A dead body
A teen with dark circles
A child with long sleeves in heat
A woman with a Medusa tattoo
A man with a drink constantly in his hand
A boy who always chews gum
A girl who has bloody fingertips
A busy suicide hotline
Filled with miserable souls
A kindergartner next to
An empty gun
Bullets lying in their best friends body
Scared eyes communicating
While underneath desks and chairs
Keys not...
