I had coffee and tea,
just the way I like.
I played music all day,
some loud, some quiet.

I didn’t panic once-
no shame, no crying.
I washed my face,
took care of my skin,
was gentle with myself.

I chose strawberry cheesecake body oil
over bed-rotting despair,
I deep conditioned and
re-dyed my hair.

And tomorrow I might do less,
or maybe more-
but today I loved me
in every pour.
Maybe it's silly but,
I think I'll be fine
I loved me so much today,
I deserve a glass of wine 🍷
Oh you’re disappointing!
You’re to blame!
You’re a failure,
what a shame!

A little secret though,
Is that you’re not.
A big secret is that
you don’t know.

You’re amazing
You’re brilliant,
Yes, I’m praising
You.
You the failure
You the crap.
You the human
You the light.

You made a mistake,
Like we all do.
It may feel too late,
But no, not for you.

Fix you’re wrongs, get up
Because you’re only a failure
when you give up.
So cheer up, smile.

On the dull, glittering white pearl,
A shining, soft light of swirls,
And on that pearl lives a little girl.

The leaves in her mind have blown away,
Leaving a bare branch in the bay.
She wonders if this is the way
Of thinking—on this pearl she stays.

They told me, “It’s going to be hot, wear shorts.”
But I can’t—I can’t let them see what stings underneath.

A life of accomplishments,
Personalized and unique
Though just seen as a piece of meat.
I thought I'd never do it
That I was the only one in the universe like me
By I think I've finally found my tribe
And I think I've finally found my reason to keep going
Made some absolutely incredible friends lately on and off the website and I'm so grateful!!!!
When there is a storm outside,
you take shelter in your home
till the storm passes.

What do you do
when there's a storm
inside you?
How do you run away?
Where do you hide?

All you can do is
stay in it-
let it tear you apart.
I tried to touch the stars last night
So i took a chair and turned off the light

I reached higher than I ever tried
I saw them already, so beautiful, I even cried

But I lost balance and the chair fell
The light went on, and I was back in my cell
