Dear mom...


I was born from within you
And you've journeyed through life with me
I presented challenges galore
But you faced them all
And were ready for more
I have had this way 
of making the unkindest cut of all
I realize that you deserve so much more
A life filled with friends your age, 
Your childhood playmates at every stage
To remind you of joyous days
Someone appreciating the kindness you show
The sacrifices you've made to bring me up
Your concern for everyone that touches our life
Your artistic hands that weave wool
Your strong spirit that understands us
I love you ma! I'm sorry I hurt you today
You truly deserve the best, every day!

Or #mansplaining No one cares about your feelings! When blood spatters On the inside of your TV screen You close your eyes and scream But there are millions of human beings Slaughtered every day And what about animals? Where do I begin? What is the definition of an animal anyway? A little lamb gamboling on your garden? Or a terrorist dropping bombs on innocent civilians? #YouDecide Once you make up your mind That there’s sickness that’s rife The question will arise What can you do to create change? It’s more than a hashtag ...

Writing Poetry

Writing does calm me I tend to get so emotional My heart is like glass It breaks if there's a high decibel Inside my head or in the vicinity My hate for the human race Does abate No thanks to any 'human' Instead to the word, written It's like a blessing from a sentient being That falls upon my ears From deep within

Glasses tinted blue

They always talk about rose-tinted glasses That place the blame squarely on 'you' What people underestimate Are the blue-tinted ones Placed by someone else on you That obscure your view of the world And make sadness true for you I tweeted this poem to @ RealisticPoetry  in response to a picture prompt.
