It's Been Awhile...

Wow, I miss writing. I think since starting Manic & Medicated (my podcast) I've really found the creative side of me again. I just breathe differently. I feel different. I don't have it all figured out. I don't always know the right thing to say. But I just feel different and I like it. I like knowing that I can create something from the darkness I feel and no longer feel this shame. This burden. This moment where I need to hide. Sure I'm still struggling with anxiety - but it's different. I feel good. I feel. I'm alive. I love it. So, here's some poetry... for old times sake.


My Work

Passion is not something you find

It finds you

It seeks you out

It's incredible

It's profound

It's indescibable

The day I found my passion, I found part of me.


Hide & Seek

Hiding behind a 9-5

Pretending I'm fine

Speaking my pain into existence

Hold me close and listen

My pain is real

My focus is out of touch

My reality is soul

My keeper is hush

I'm tired

I'm tired of pretending

There is no standard

There's just me vs me

Why do we pretend in reality

Rest - that's enough


Lack Of

Happiness is not in the way that I look

I eat to control the narrative

If I get bigger I won't get attention

But I do and I get angry

Why?

Why am I so angry with attention

Why am I having issues with men?

I need to figure it out - they're not a sin

Just love you and dive in

Dive deeper into my soul

Figure out why it's dark

This part that's got a hold

You're controlling things

Let it go...

Morph yourself as much as you like

You're still the same girl - it's alright.
