Your suffering is always greater than mine,
you claim your fears are bigger.
Whine your feelings are better than mine,
insist my feelings are simpler.

Try to laugh my feats away like a joke,
but my will is more forward than yours.
Now don’t expect any warmth from me,
my spirit won’t be ignored.

You think you can quiet my defiance?
But I'm used to standing alone.
Your ego trips never get old
they only harden my resolve.

So you timidly try and silence me,
then make excuses to escape.
‘Cause your wits won't handle me long,
I’m the one you can’t sedate.

The scent of coffee lingers in the air
As the poet writes her heart out with flair
Caffeine gave her strength when life made her sad
Her words held her up when no one else had.
Does your mind have a second floor
  that’s very seldom used

A place your thoughts can freely roam
  safe from life’s abuse

One story up, your story forms,
  its telling far below

The height of peace and solitude
   —with space for you to grow

(Santa Fe New Mexico: February, 2019)
What would you do if someone constantly asked how you were
And you didnt know the answer
You spend time thinking and answering that you dont know
They will not accept it
But they have to
Because you dont know
Truly
How do i feel
About people
About everything
I do not know
Can you relate to this poem

One belongs in the past,
The other is meant to last.
Choose wisely between one another,
Because you will lose the other.

The repetitive melody
A symphony of peace and joy
Two lives coming together
Combining generations
To create one

But there’s something about that harmony
That I don’t understand
Something that boils my thin blood
So hot that I hyperventilate
And it pushes me away
Beyond the song
And past the crowd
To a place of solitude
A lonely place of thought

Why is love so broken
And all of the people involved
Why are we all so broken
Because of love
My universe comes
to an unnerving halt when I see you
But I continue to walk
as if I’m in a rush with somewhere to be
