What a loaded question for a seeker of contentment. The cage opens and closes, but nothing is set free. Is there anything to release? What … Continue reading Happy?

Awakening
Swipe. I still feel. Swipe. I’m crying. Swipe. I don’t want these anymore. Breathe. The sun gets up, so can I. Breathe. Trembling hands clench. Breathe. Release. Two opposing forces trying to do the same thing. Clarity isn’t in focus, but sound reaches my ears. “Not Alone” permeates my mind and I sigh. … Continue reading Awakening

Blue; The color of calm and wise, but synonymous with sadness. Dual embodiments duel for dominance in a torn body. Fingers twitch with the need to write … Continue reading Captain America’s Strength
