Day 1: one-syllable words;
Day 2: two-letter words;
Day 3: three-letter words;
Day 4: what could this mean?
Spotting the pattern, said he,
"I'm looking forward to the later rounds...!"
She replied,
"as if I'm going to keep this up for a month!
They take hours, and aren't that good!
Here are my self-imposed criteria;
I urge you to give it a go!"
"Oh," said he,
"you have to do one with 15-letter words,
that's only halfway!"
"Shut up, David!" ...

Sunny Eyes
Sunny eyes beam through this storm of fury.
Before me, the whirling fog illuminates white
at the pulses of lightning from within me.
I do not know what can damper this storm.
What antipsychotic medication can calm!
I prefer to trek on blindly through
the fog of the psychotic episodes -
I as the lightning pulses from my eyes -
my still healthy consciousness illumines
my life’s path before me and it’s scary.
Before me, the whirling fog illuminates white
at the pulses of lightning from within me.
I do not know what can damper this storm.
What antipsychotic medication can calm!
I prefer to trek on blindly through
the fog of the psychotic episodes -
I as the lightning pulses from my eyes -
my still healthy consciousness illumines
my life’s path before me and it’s scary.

Why we can't find love
Why we can't find love in these days and times, as well as the truth of what love really means to the, deepness of the truth of a beautiful heart 💖 For sure why continue to tell yourself that love doesn't exist anymore, for isn't it hard enough. YET we always find situations in our own life, to compare what is truly happening, in our lives in these days and times. To be able to have a strong commitment with real consistency and real communications. TO be able to share our thoughts and insight and feelings and emotions, in the process of deeply creating a solid foundation. For it's...

Walk this crazy life
Walk this crazy life like a drunk tightrope walker
arms wide, laughing at the wobble.
Perfection’s a myth sold by liars and crooks,
while the real ones stitch gold from their unraveled threads.
Regrets? Stack them like unpaid bills,
then strike a match. Watch how quick
ash becomes fertile ground.
Even poison can grow roses
if you stop calling it poison.😏
When the dark comes, and it comes
like a freight train with no lights
grin crooked at the abyss.
Teeth are just tiny headstones...
arms wide, laughing at the wobble.
Perfection’s a myth sold by liars and crooks,

Goodbye DUP
It’s been almost 8 years since I joined DU.
It’s been almost 8 years since I left my abusive ex-husband.
I had been living with him for 8 years before finding this site.
Finding DU was finding my voice, a voice that had been silenced for so long. I was being tortured, suffering, suicidal, and on the verge of relapsing with self-harm.
The community here saw my pain bleeding onto the page, and you came to support and uplift me. More than that, you all saw my potential, and encouraged me to overcome great feats.
There will never be another...

Twist of Fate
What kind of cruel trick is this
That destiny has played on me
Feeling some kind of bliss
I try to run I tried to flee
But this connection overwhelmed me
I was powerless to resist
I am always much too good
Always Love the way I wish someone would
Love me back
If someone did I’d always walk the line
I’d stay on track
They’d say you’re mine
There’d be no doubt and I’d please my man
Anytime he wanted like I know I can
He’d keep me wild, he’d know I’m strong
But he’d be by my side even when I wrong
He’d protect...

Hard Landing
"your comfort zone is not always safe"
~LBL
They say
"time flies when you're having fun"..
But my time is fleeting
while I've been on the run.
I once sought out the source
of the calling echoing in my chest.
These days I evade
The course the river takes
In fear I will be led to the deep ,
Swallowed up in the raging waves.
I've tried to survive in existence
Terrified of change.
When this structured path
I've built my self
Has a foundation that's decayed,
I am only...

A First Encounter.....
The town sleeps, wrapped in the hush of streetlights, the distant hum of power lines, the sigh of trees shifting in the breeze. He moves through it like a ghost, barefoot on the pavement, the night cool against his skin. This is the only time he feels real.
He walks without a destination, tracing invisible paths, listening to the whisper of his own breath. The world is his, for these few hours. No voices sneering his name. No hands grabbing, pushing, tearing. Just the sky, endless and waiting.
The stars blink, cold and patient. The moon watches, unmoved. And yet—tonight,...

Lantern In The Darkness
The flamelight of my hope and reality
burns within the darkness of psychosis.
Light within dark overcomes –
No matter how small the flame.
Whenever I fall asleep, darkness
slithers itself in bed alongside me
with gazing eyes and a whispery voice.
And there is a lantern within – one I hold
to this darkness that my hallucinating
eyes cannot penetrate alone.
My eyes are lamplit to the dream,
for the flame within ensouls me.
The light of my lantern pulsates,
possessing a fiery heartbeat,
pushing...
burns within the darkness of psychosis.
Light within dark overcomes –
No matter how small the flame.
Whenever I fall asleep, darkness
slithers itself in bed alongside me
with gazing eyes and a whispery voice.
And there is a lantern within – one I hold
to this darkness that my hallucinating
eyes cannot penetrate alone.
My eyes are lamplit to the dream,
for the flame within ensouls me.
The light of my lantern pulsates,
possessing a fiery heartbeat,

The beauty of it all
They say that no one is sent to you by chance or accident, for in high sight they are there to help you navigate through, the process of understanding what is life truly all about when we can connect, on a subconscious level of energy and perseverance. For sure life is about learning new things whether good or bad, yet life will teach us as it will test our strength and faith and beliefs. For sure that is life in it's finest moments of maturity and strength, and giving us the strength to continue to stand and fight, never truly giving up. For sure life is our greatest teacher about ourselves...
