Broken seashells along the beach
Find a beauty in between
Amongst the broken scattered shells
An untouched one
With a full story to tell

I close my eyes and I see
The beach and waves crashing
Tropical birds surrounding me
Little lizards burrow in the grass
Palm trees swaying in the wind
Suns rays beaming off a heat blast
Colorful skyline
Rainbows and butterflies
Happiness and love
Until I open my eyes
Realizing it is all just a dream
Back to reality of work and stress I go
But soon I will return
To this glorious dream of fantasy
When I close my eyes and wonder into deep sleep soon enough....

Tossing
Turning
Asleep
Awake
Tossing
Turning
Asleep
Awake.....
Wide awake
Frustrated and so tired
Slowly falling asleep
20 mins later
WIDE AWAKE
As morning approaches I finally fall asleep
Only to be waken up by my alarm
Guess 3 hours is better nothing
Time to get up even though I’m beat...
Ughhhhhh didn’t sleep for crap last night and I work a 13 hour day today!

One night stand
Night after marriage
First time
Wild child
Unprotected one time
Not even trying.....
Equals= pregnant

8 years
Hoping and praying
Trying to hard
Never happening
Why me?
Why us?
Will it ever?
What’s wrong with us?
Upsetting, depressed, hurt, annoyed....

Being surrounded and constantly seeing or hearing throughout the world
“We’re pregnant “
Faking a smile even though your heart hurts
I try to be happy but always come back to “why me”
“Why not us?”

Glimmer of hope I still hold on too but losing grip of the hope I have...

Swimming wild and few
Through shards of glass
Like walking through the world
Being bullied and attacked
Words hurt and cut deep down
Even with a surface scratch
You’ve attacked my body
Leaving scars left behind
But it had made me stronger
As I still continue to swim
Through those shards of glass
Bullying is real and it hurts just like swimming through glass....

The suns rays
Pass through the clouds
Shining through majestic colors
Of broken rainbows that never got the chance
To shine after a rainstorm

I release this red balloon to you
Fly high in the sky and reach you soon
A letter attached to share with you
How much I miss you hope you do too
A red balloon flies high in the sky
I still often just wonder why
Why you are gone and not here with me
But then I think, it was just meant to be
You lived your life and made me who I am today
I will always treasure that each and everyday
It never is easy to say goodbye
But I know your flying high up there in the sky
Wrote this for my dad a couple years back... still miss him dearly
