SO usually I am pretty stressed on Thanksgiving. Between traveling and dealing with groups of people, it's just not my thing. The whole holiday season can be vey overwhelming for me in general.

Tremble – 3 Haikus
Beaten Down Power slips through my hand, Like a million grains of sand. Crumpled and alone. Imprisoned Tears streak down my face, Like an old dam in a storm. Flooded by my fear. Lifted up Love lifts up my heart, Like sunshine in a rainstorm. Steadied by new hope.
Psychotic Episode
I’ve had many ups and downs. Some days I feel like I am slipping back into the void. When I say “void”, I am talking about the dark pit I’ve fallen into in the past. A place I haven’t been back to in years. I have visited this vile hellhole and gotten my toes wet, … Continue reading Psychotic Episode
Crazy – 3 Haikus
Mislabeled They say your crazy. Mislabeling the victims. Fighting for their minds. Misunderstood The Misunderstood. Fighting the burning stigma. That scars our scarred minds. Warriors We fight for us all. Breaking down the ignorance. Blind hate is crazy.

In the darkest corners of my mind, Chronos holds a clock, that he begins to wind. It opens up a secret door, Full of skeletons and more. Deeper in the darkest part, … Continue reading Deepest Part of Me
One Day at a Time
Bad Days Let’s face it, some days suck. You feel like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed and stumbled down a cliff through a patch of cacti. I had a day when I lost my wallet and realized it after everything was wrung up. I had a cart overflowing with food, … Continue reading One Day at a Time
Fear
Frightened and alone. Cramped and prone. Under mossy stone. Crawling out my skin. Feeling frail and thin. What was my sin??? I scream, but have no voice. I try to move, but have no choice. His voice I hear, My primal fear. His body near. I awake, sweat blanketing me. Home alone and still not … Continue reading Fear
Laughing Through the Pain
I have written posts on here about addiction, abuse, chronic pain and mental health. So my blog has just been a barrel of laughs. Seriously though, as important as it is to be vocal about abuse, it’s equally as important to enjoy the life your living. You have to step back and laugh at how … Continue reading Laughing Through the Pain
