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

Wrath
Emotionally distraught. Volcanic force bubbles. Incapable of thought. Surrounded by troubles. Blinded by ash. Targeting all in my way. My fists want to smash. It ruins the day. Fueled by apparitions, Long gone, but still here. Static on tuned out stations. Overrun by irrational fear. A voice whispers through the dark, Building up into a … Continue reading Wrath
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
The Monster
Impact... I can’t even stand, But you take me by the hand. Lifting me to my feet. So sweet. So naive. I beg you to leave. I am a monster in a cage, Fueled by shame and rage... You tame my savage side. I no longer have to hide. The beast and me are one. … Continue reading The Monster
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
Choices
Not Your Choice, Not Your Fault There are a lot of things in the world we cannot control. The seasons, the weather, the weekend (I am sure we wish we could). These things and many more can have some effect on our daily lives, if we allow them too. Then there are other things in … Continue reading Choices
1,000 Thank You’s
I just wanted to write up a quick post. Honestly I woke up today not even wanting to write, but I saw this and it made me happy. I wrote a piece of flash fiction this morning, but I had to take a moment to write this up. Thank you to everyone for the support. … Continue reading 1,000 Thank You’s
Pain in my A..ddiction
Addiction I've written about my addiction, in the past. Addiction is something you carry with you for life. It has a real hold over you. It's not psychosomatic, it's a legitimate issue. Especially for us in the mental health community. It's easy to fall into the grips of drugs and especially alcohol when you're suffering … Continue reading Pain in my A..ddiction
The Void
Sometimes on the darkest day, When light is but a fading thought. I sit upon the edge of you, Wondering if this is all for naught. Your beauty is truly sublime. You offer is hard to resist. An escape from the subprime, Where redemption may still exist. Your whispers smell of sweet decay, Staring down … Continue reading The Void
One Hit
Today is the day. I will no longer get my fix. No doubt. No way. Getting myself out of the mix. I feel so free, I am finally me. Tired as hell, Not feeling so well. Distracting my brain, Life is a strain. Crawling out of my shirt. One hit wouldn’t hurt. Wait, stop! What … Continue reading One Hit
