Moments || an encouraging story

Hey everyone! This post is a little different than my normal ones! It's not a fiction story or an article on writing. It's something I experienced in real life and was just stunned at how incredible this was. So I tried writing it down, and I want to share it with you all, in hopes …

Poem: Christmas Layers

The stress of this season can quickly creep in to December, hoping for a perfect day. The presents and decorating makes the head spin, But this is unimportant, if I may convey. ~ There are many layers to Christmas, just like a present. Snow, music, lights, and eggnog are just a few. Though fun to …

Poem: Rainy Days

The pitter patter of drops on a rainy day, the heavy heart won’t lift when weather is this way. No will to smile in the gray light, to laugh or play. ~ I sit inside, close the blinds, and distract my thoughts. Hard to feel motivated when I feel distraught. Is this a normal feeling …

On false hopes we’re grasping. ~ Always saying that today will be the day we can say we broke through our goal and joy will fill the hole ~ in our hearts that we try to fill with lie after lie, thinking this will at …

Motivational Poem: Crawling

I’m crawling, climbing, fingers dig into the dirt. I’m falling, slipping, My feet backslide a little. ~ Teeth grind together. Stinging, raw fingers find grip again. A journey I weather, ascending the mountain of Life. ~ I see pits in the rock face. Gnarled hands reach out to snag me. They say to give up …

Merry Christmas! (a little late)

Poem: Midnight Walk

Voices in my mind. Answers I can’t find. A tear slides and falls. I’m in my sins entwined. ~ Time for a midnight walk. A quiet stroll around the block. A look at the stars, a plea to God for a talk. ~ Pouring out the problems, feeling at the bottom, clasping hands, knuckles white, …
