I'm not the kind of woman who locks her heart away in a delicate cage. Mine beats fiercely, exposed, unbridled raw and reckless , either worn proudly on my sleeve, held tenderly in my hands, or surrendered completely to the unknown.

In twilight's hush,
where shadows play,
A midnight blue descends,
to seal the day.
The stars,
like diamonds scattered wide,
Twinkle and sparkle,
with a gentle,
celestial pride.
Fireflies dance in the breezy air,
Their lights flickering,
like tiny lanterns there.
Crickets chant their evening hymns,
As the owl watches over,
with wise,
knowing brims.
The leaves rustle softly,
in the trees above,
Lost in the melody of their own,
sweet love.
Wolves howl at the end of the shore,
With a haunting longing,
for something more.
The world is asleep,
but magic's alive,
In this enchanted realm,
where dreams thrive.
Fantasy and wonder,
charm and might,
Unite in this midnight blue,
where love takes flight.
Fairies smile in secret pride,
As restless souls find peace,
and hearts reside.
The breeze whispers secrets,
as orchids sway,
Adding a touch of blue,
to this enchanted day.
The Moon strolls through the heavens,
with gentle ease,
Admiring the beauty,
of this peaceful release.
The knight of midnight watches over all,
Guiding those who seek wonder,
through this enchanted hall.
Silence reminds us,
that dawn will soon arrive,
And playtime must end,
with a bow and adieu to the night's jive.
As the owl takes flight,
through the midnight blue,
We bid farewell to magic,
until dreams come anew.

She was once a girl,
with a story untold
A narrative of pain,
that was written in cold
The pages were filled,
with the weight of her past
A burden she carried,
that seemed to forever last

But she's rewriting the script,
with a pen that's bold
Creating a new narrative,
where she's in control
She's turning the page,
on the chapters that hurt
And writing a new story,
where love and joy converge

Like a phoenix from ashes,
she's rising anew
From the flames of her past,
a brighter spirit breaks through
Her wings are unfolding,
as she takes to the sky
A symbol of strength,
as she says goodbye

To the relationships that broke her,
they no longer define
The woman she's becoming,
with a heart that's aligned
She's learning to let go,
of the people who caused pain
And embracing the ones,
who bring love and sustain

Her inner child is healing,
with a gentle hand
A loving guide,
that helps her understand
That she's not alone,
and that she's worthy of love
A deserving soul,
sent from above

She's breaking free from the chains,
that bound her tight
Unshackling her spirit,
and letting her light shine bright
She's finding her voice,
and using it to speak
A powerful woman,
who's no longer meek

Her journey is one,
of transformation and growth
A path that winds and turns,
but always leads to truth
She's discovering her strength,
and all that she can do
A resilient soul,
who's rising anew

Her story is being rewritten,
with each passing day
A new chapter unfolding,
in a brighter way
She's becoming the woman,
she was meant to be
A beautiful soul,
wild and carefree.

I stand with feet bare,
toes curled deep
In emerald grass,
where ancient secrets sleep
The earth beneath me whispers low and sweet
Echoes of eons past,
in mystic repeat

The thunderstorm awakens,
wild and free
A primal cry that shakes the tree
Electric drums beat out a savage rhyme
As heaven's fury pours,
and rain lashes in time

The wind stirs,
rustling leaves in gentle hue
A soothing melody,
both old and new
Through branches swaying,
it whispers my name
As I breathe in the scent of wet earth's claim

My toes drink in the dew,
and feel the ground
A pulsing heartbeat,
where life is found
In every blade of grass,
a story's told
Of seasons come and gone,
of life unfold

I listen close,
as earth's echoes resound
A symphony of life,
in all its forms unbound
The thunderstorm's fierce cry,
the wind's soft sigh
In harmony they blend,
as I touch the sky

With feet on earth,
and soul set free
I am one with nature's wild ecstasy.

In a house of love,
where kindness grew,
A little girl,
with the purest eyes,
Not from her own,
but hearts so kind,
Grandparents' arms,
a haven to find.

For parents lost,
in shadows deep,
To troubled paths,
where darkness sleeps.
Addiction's grip,
a cruel embrace,
Left a child adrift,
without a trace.

But loving hands,
reached out to claim,
A precious life,
a whispered name.
Grandparents' love,
a guiding light,
Filled days with joy,
and banished night.

They taught her strength,
and showed her grace,
To find her worth,
in time and space.
Their gentle touch,
their tender care,
Erased the hurt,
beyond compare.

Though shadows linger,
from days gone by,
Their love's a shield,
beneath the sky.
A grateful heart,
a spirit free,
For grandparents' love,
eternally.

As winter's chill begins to bite,
The sun sets early,
a fiery sight.
A blaze of orange,
pink,
and gold,
Across the horizon,
stories untold.

I pack the car,
and hit the road,
Chasing sunsets,
hearts made whole.
Through snowy landscapes,
i drive with glee,
In search of vistas,
wild and free.

The sky is painted,
a masterpiece high,
As day succumbs to the twilight sky.
I find a spot,
where the view is grand,
And watch as sunset takes its final stand.

The colors deepen,
rich and bold,
A symphony of hues,
young and old.
Soft pinks and blushing peaches too,
Dance across the sky,
in shades anew.

As I breathe the crisp air,
scented with pine,
As sunset's magic makes my spirit shine.
In this fleeting moment,
I am free,
My worries lost,
in wild ecstasy.

So let me chase the winter sunsets bright,
And bask in their warm,
golden light.
For in these moments,
i find my peace,
And the world's beauty,
my soul release.

The stars appear,
one by one,
As night descends,
the day is done.
I linger still,
in this peaceful place,
Where sunset's magic left its gentle trace.

Then back to the car,
i reluctantly go,
My hearts still aglow,
with sunset's show.
The memory stays,
a treasured delight,
A winter sunset road trip,
pure joy in sight.

These walls,
they whisper secrets to me
Of a past that I'd rather not see
Memories of pain,
of fear and shame
Echoes that linger,
like a lingering flame

Every room,
a reminder of what's been
A prison where my heart was locked within
The shadows on the wall,
they seem to move
As if the ghosts of my past still improve

I try to escape,
but there's no way out
Trapped in this house,
with memories that shout
I'm haunted by the laughter,
the tears,
the screams
The silence is deafening,
it's all just a bad dream

The creaks and groans of the floorboards at night
Sound like the footsteps of my tormentor's delight
The wind outside whispers cruel things in my ear
Reminding me of the pain that I've tried to clear

I feel like I'm drowning in this sea of pain
Unable to escape,
unable to break the chain
That binds me to this house,
to these memories so dark
A prisoner of my past,
forever left to embark

But the abuse has stopped,
the trauma has ceased
So why do I still feel trapped,
still feel diseased?
Why can't I shake the feeling that I'm still confined?
That these walls are closing in,
suffocating my mind?

It's because the memories remain,
long after the pain
Haunting me,
taunting me,
driving me insane
They linger in every corner,
every crevice and crack
A constant reminder of what I've been through,
what I've lacked

I wish I could erase it all,
start anew
But these walls hold secrets,
and memories that are true
I'm stuck in this house,
with these ghosts of my past
Forever trapped,
forever haunted,
forever aghast.
