I have always been
So practical
I lived in the present
The past can never be undone
And tomorrows will always be uncertain

And then you left me
And you couldn’t just leave
Without telling me
How little you thought of me
As if it all hadn’t been bad enough
Me always crying
And you, filled with constant rage
Blaming . .… Read more

I thought I would get banned from DWW because of my hostility. I do love my better half – just a way lot more when he’s not working from home.

I never wanted to give birth
Never planned a pink or pale blue room
Now I sob on the floor all alone in the dark
Clutching my empty womb

The only one I have ever wanted
14 years off and on
I thought I was done with you
But I was wrong
11 years apart
Now I am living in your house
At first I thought
‘Wow, this is wild’
Now, I am scared
Isn’t it inevitable?
I’m gonna ‘f ‘this up?
Ruin everything?
Because that’s what I always do

I am a solitary soul
More a destiny
Than a choice
From my childhood
I never mattered
I had no voice

Somehow, I seem to muddle thru
Most nights and days
I just say ‘screw it’
But deep down
It is a torment
I’m always trying to undo it

Illusions that surround me
I never catch
In time
I have to try
to still myself
Be quiet,… Read more

(Please . . . . . . )

MJ – Why did you have to go?

You left us all alone

Worst of all,
You left us without you

We want to be where you are
That’s all we ever wanted
Where else can we find the joy again?

Fumbling helplessly . . . desperately . . .
Lost in this cavernous empty

It has engulfed us
There is no way out

Like Jonah… Read more

Is this the time
We’ve waited for?
The end of days
Finally,
God says He’s seen enough
The broken hearts have
Outnumbered the ones
That remain whole?

We run around crazy
To complete so many things
But what does it mean really?
If we don’t have time to
Even place a call
To inquire how someone’s doing.
“Are you… Read more

for the Children’s Home
They asked me
“What’s the most important thing
to give a child?”
I said “Hope”.
They wanted me to explain
“If you have hope,
no matter what anyone tells you,
you can find a way . . .
be someone . . .
maybe even live a dream . . .
Hope is EVERYTHING.”
I think back now
and realize the… Read more

25 years together
All the lies you told me
They were countless
Yet,
Not as many
As the ones I told myself
You’d make fun of me
And I’d discount it
You’d criticize me
And, I’d look the other way
I had always said
“If you can’t be honest
With other people
At least be honest
with yourself”
Sage advice I’d give to

My mother looked my sister in the eye and said “I never wanted you. I hate you. I’ve always hated you. I wish you were dead.” She passed away in 2016. I’m a 4 time suicide “survivor” – still hard to come to grips with the fact that I am still here and what it all means. … Read more

You had crossed over
At the funeral
I didn’t say goodbye
I refuse to believe it is
Still . . .
Going back to the car
I was shook
I could not focus
My feet refused to feel
The pavement beneath them
How could this be?
Someone helped me walk
Otherwise, I would not have made it
Later . . .
I met with the… Read more

I was shocked yesterday how painful it was to re-tell this story, after so much time gone by. I suppose its like a loved one who commits suicide or harms themselves in other ways, how desperate it is to say “I care so much. Please don’t feel this bad.

I try to bolster my own courage but it always fails me. (Do I even have any?) I’ve been told that it’s because my whole childhood was based on fear and shame.

I imagine people shaking their heads and saying “What a pity”. Wherever her spirit is today, I hope that not only does she realize the value of her works, but I hope she can feel true joy just like we do when someone says “I really like what you wrote”.

The things you said to me
Just so mean
You made fun of me
I was a joke to you
Why was I too paralyzed to leave?

Couldn’t or wouldn’t?
