My memories
are my best &
the longest route
of travel which
I frequently travel
but never get
tired of it.

Poetic skies
call me.

Nature pulls
me in dressing
my heart in Joy.

Photography intrigues me giving me peace.

droopy clouds
cry with my
sad heart,

So on quiet
rainy days
I focus on
nature.

There's days
that love makes
me sad and days
it doesn't.

Nature seems
to give me peace,

Because I
see God in it's
beauty of his
workmanship.

There maybe
a little hidden sadness
in these words it's very
true I am healing and
it may take as long as
I need to heal because
I am dealing with my
own personal hurt
and anxiety from
things in my life
and writing helps
me heal

9/11 When twin Towers fell remembrance of lives lost (DRAFT)

We remember another

sad day many

lost loved ones.

May they rest in peace

love and prayers go out

to the families.

My son was only

1 years old when

the twin towers fell

and many lives were lost.

We still sit and cry

for that solider that

never said goodbye to

his little girl.

We grieve today

for those lives that were lost.

So tell those you love

what they mean to you

and hold them dear you

never know when they will

get called home.

So we cry for the

tragic 9/11 when the

twin towers fell and lives

were lost.

There will be a time

that there will be no

more pain,

Our and tears will

be dried.

So today we thank the

Soldiers and ones

on this 9/11 day.

May the LORD be with

your loved ones always.

We carry this pain

on this tragic day 9/11.

Grieving me

All along I
was grieving
me,

I thought
I was grieving
our love.

I was trying
to find me

But I am
still healing
because of
the abuse,

I'm still
terrified
of marriage

I'm
terrified
of being
controlled.

I'm terrified
of life some
days,

So lately old
wounds have
resurfaced.

I thought I
was healed from
these wounds.

I do want to heal
from this because it
still scares me as
it's hard for me to
trust.

I still feel trapped
in a cage in marriage
I know it's the bad I
went through it scares
me and it's normal to
feel that way.

Marriage isn't
supposed to
feel like your
trapped at all.

Keep me in your
prayers and others
like me that struggle
with this today because the struggle is real.

Healing trapped
still healing marriage
terrifies me because
it wasn't a marriage
it was control and
abuse emotional
abuse I write to
heal.

Hearts talk

Broken
hearts
speak,

The same
language.

Even if
they're healed,

There's still
some battered
up debris left
in their hearts.

We
hearts talk
understanding
hurt.

Language they
