I would take to the lake.
Try to clear my head.
Think.
My boy, he liked coral pink.
And oh did his heart sink.
I took to the lake.
Oceans were too far away.
We shifted and we swayed.
Not today.
Couldn't stay.

This boat we are in strikes an ebb and flow far too often and it feels old.
A day in the past made of gold is too heavy for me to hold, anymore.
So as not to drown, let's let go, let's learn to swim.

I am not an Extremist, I am hardly Feminist, I just am: and that's okay.  And I know that a public demonstration of kindness and love can have the same great effect as that done behind closed doors.

What should have always been by nature (loving, being kind, being humane, etc.) has seemingly become a phenomenon. It should have always been. Being. Existed and still existing. Acted upon and currently in action. But it's timed out and needs a refresh. Start here. Start now.

Make a sign if you want to, buy someone a meal, give someone a hug, tell someone you love them. Tell. Someone. You. Love. Them. Intermix and interlove. Love love love. Think, think, think. Care, care, care. Be loving, be thoughtful, be caring.

These elements are in our blood. When cut, blood turns red. Our veins? They show our blood: blue. But they are all the same blood in the end.
A letter to myself. You can read it, love it, agree with it, or do all the opposites of those. Whichever you choose, know that I believe that that is okay. My hope is to take something away this, after all...I wrote it. But I hope to help someone who feels just as numbed and lost as I. That is my hope. And to you, I love you. And to the opposing, I love you too. I really do. I acknowledge every side of this mess. But I choose to be on the side I have always walked, and that is in a way of being kind, and showing love. Thank you.

all she can take is for it to get better
and find a way to leave this behind.
her past self would run,
but there's always a reminder.
she can't put this behind her.
no,
no more.

my heart is broken,
as is yours.
i am in need of love,
as are you,
and you and you.

i am not okay because you are not okay.

you hold my heart, everyone one of you,
and it has always been this way.

i stand strong with the belief in hope,
i carry an open mind through the gray.

one day our smiles will stay,
but until the peace of that day,

my heart, alongside yours too, cries.
this is all that i can say.
