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.

Into the Light
Bleeding internally
Legs go numb
Hurting inside
Your face trying to hide the pain
You kiss my cheek
as if to say it's okay
My end is here
I'm on my way
I feel you slipping away
As I hold you tight
I feel you slipping away
As you descend into the night
In a single day
The sunshine turned to rain
Happiness turned to mourning
As you were released from all your pain
I felt you slip away
Crossing the bridge to the other side
I felt you slip away
As you ascend into the light
Legs go numb
Hurting inside
Your face trying to hide the pain
You kiss my cheek
as if to say it's okay
My end is here
I'm on my way
I feel you slipping away
As I hold you tight
I feel you slipping away
As you descend into the night
In a single day
The sunshine turned to rain
Happiness turned to mourning
As you were released from all your pain
I felt you slip away
Crossing the bridge to the other side
I felt you slip away
As you ascend into the light

Fragile
Fragile in feeling I am weak
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers
I go forward
Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face
leaving scars all too apparent
Wisdom is bringing me low
assailing my strength
such a bitter brew
I cannot stand against Him
shivering in my vulnerability
with reminders of my mortality
A chalice of humility
drinking from his loving cup
I implore why
given no answers

Picking up the pieces I have left
fractured hope glares at me
suffocating my fancy
I choke on my own tears
they scald my face

Corona Blues - NYC Love Story
My wife quarantined for 33 days
The first week was bad
Then she got slowly better
Enough so that we would take walks
Mask and gloves on
The whole time she was sick we were vigilant
Never letting up on hygiene and sanitizing
My black shoes have bleached souls
We are super careful
She still got sick
6 days out of quarantine and she’s had a relapse
I’m cooking again if you can call it that
My wife is a super caregiver
She takes care of cooking and cleaning and works part time
Walks dogs too
I work a...

the bitch is back
covid has re-entered my system
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me
working my inhaler overtime just to survive
danced this set before
I didn't want to move to this tune anymore
back to the meds & the bed
catch y'all on the flipside
snuck in like a thief in the night
temporary hold on my life
and everything hurts
but my lungs are the worst
an elephant sitting on my chest
wondering will my next breath be a gasp or a wheeze
when it rattles into me

danced this set before

THE DARK SIDE
What does it mean to be trapped, inside a world 🌎 that you have no idea how you got there? Within this very space that is unfamiliar to you. YET there you are trapped, into this very remote world of nothing but darkness. 🤔 I know I haven't spoken on this subject in awhile, but I felt it very necessary to put it in it's right prospective. Maybe shine
some light on this message of mental health, which affects some of us in different ways. For sure there are those of us who suffer, just trying to make sense of it 😔 when we have good days and bad nights. Yet still...

Time to increase the dosage.
I'm out with the gout
all in my knee.
So woe is me,
without a doubt,
with my old right hip grousing about
in anatomic solidarity.
But I've some tricksy pills, ya see,
with an anti inflammation clout,
plus, a night of sleep will surely be
the route that puts the pain to rout.
Pleasant dreams 💞
all in my knee.

Collateral Damage
Enough will be enough.
Every minute an eternity in agony.
Sadness, no longer the mainstay.
Fury!
Dreams of vows fulfilled, never more.
An act once acted upon is synonym to a lie. Retraction no longer an option.
Is there a point to baring one’s soul?
Will shattered pieces of pledged love, only unto thee, be reparable?
Drunken slurs of disappointment turn to need.
To not be a duo feels crueler.
Nothing will be enough. Constant injuries birth selfish wantonness.

each day hurts
unfortunately,
i feel
just as
i look,
the sun
comes up,
hours pass
and then
the moon
waves,
another
morning
and things
haven't
changed,
my body
in pain,
i feel
it there
to greet
me each
new day.
