I almost gave up that January night six months ago. On my desk laid between 10 to 15 Tramadol capsules. At this point I was exhausted. I was exhausted from the pain and the feeling of worthlessness. I just wanted a break. I craved the chance to not feel pain and to actually sleep through the night. I wanted to hide from the fact that I had an uneeded surgery that kept me bed ridden. All I wanted was peace and quiet. As I sat at my desk I remembering gingerly picking up a pill. I rolled it back and forth between my fingers examining the colors. Blue against yellow. At the time I thought the color combination was sickening beautiful. If I we

In my home town on a lone cul-de-sac sits a blue chevy. The blue chevy is an old model without a working AC. The old model has been around for 14+ years in it's designated driveway. However, the blue chevy and the driver will be leaving soon. The man who drives the blue chevy isn't just some random man. He was the second man that held me after I was born 20 years ago. He has my infant handprint tattooed on his right shoulder. He helped raise me. His beautiful sister is my mother, and since day one I have loved him. I have loved the man who was and will always be my protector. I loved the man who didn't question but rather held me during the

My heart is broken today. It breaks for the 50 people killed. It breaks for the 50+ injured. I sob for the many families in despair. I cry for the lives that were taken away. I cry because I don't know what else to do. Individuals should not be condemned for how or who they love. Guns like AK-15's should not be legal to obtain. Orlando is like another home to me. I love the town and the people there. The energy is electric but today it has dulled. It has dulled because one angry individual was able to obtain a lethal weapon. This weekend was meant to celebrate love. It was meant to celebrate pride in the LGBT community. Instead this has ha

Thank you doesn’t seem like enough to say. I love you is not a strong enough statement. I need you is a given. Your beauty is an understatement. For 20 years you have filled a position that not many could handle. You have provided me with unconditional love and support. Through everything you have remained by my side. Even on the days I did not think I was good enough to stay you reminded me that I was. You have saved me countless times from myself. We have yelled at each other too many times to count. Although we may fight we still remain loyal. Hand in hand we have entered personal battles together. On our darkest days we

This pain. . . This pain is something new It feels like two hot knives are twisting my insides and forcing them to contract The sensation makes me curl up in a ball and scream into a pillow This pain. . . This horrible pain has been my lonely companion for over a year And just when you think that the pain can’t get worse there is suddenly the blood Blood that never stops and makes my knees weak. Why? Why is my body betraying me in such a way? Surely the doctors know what is wrong. They will have the answer… Right? WRONG! The doctors don’t listen. Without so much of a second thought I get a diagnosis. Endometriosis. R

Our time begins from the time of conception Until we find ourselves on a mission To continue thriving To never stop trying Time is never going to stop It will continue to tick and to tock It won’t stop for the rich or the poor It persists on more and more And as the span of time shows It almost glows The frustration it has seen And the happiness indeed How long time will continue is unknown We must embrace it on our own Until we fall into never ending sleep We must take in the beautiful world and stand on two feet

What is a poem drabble? It's when you put you're iPod or any Playlist on random and write until that song ends. No cheating is allowed. You must finish when the song is over and let the song play even if you don't like it! ;) Sorry, dears. Tell me which poem is your favorite and I will expand on it. Let the fun begin! Song 1: Castle Down – Emilie Autumn Title: When A Castle Calls I look around at the castles that surround me Each one has a story of who has lived there Each one has a story of those who have died The castles stand as beautiful statues in a middle of a forest The wind blows through the forest and surrounds me like a

You can let go I'm here Forget everything and dive Just simply let go My love you are too taunt All you need to do is jump in Observe the sky and the water Watch as we let go and fall in love Hand in hand we will let go We will jump and arch our backs into a dive We will dive into our dreams and fantasies Nothing can ever touch us Together we are a force of nature Apart we are chaos at it's finest We will create memories and forget the old pain We will break away from our past So we will let go We will fall as one Our fingers entwined Feeling the beauty in our breakdown Our breakdown will cause flowers to bloom The sun to shine Dark clo
