Poetry for people who could use a little kindness
There are no actions you can take no choices you can make no words you can say no games you can play
That will invalidate how you feel
Even if you think you blew it I won't give up, we can work through it Give me time, give me space Then let us talk face to face
And I will listen to how you feel
Your feelings are valid and important I know how easy it is to forget it I hope in time you come to see How special you are to me
I care about you and how you feel
When I cry I don't need you to fix it I don't need to be told what to do I don't need someone to make it about them
When I began I was terrified The path was unknown
What if everyone rejects me? What if I end up all alone? What if this is all in my head? What if I'm wrong?
Every step was scary Every step revealed a new challenge Companions vanished Replaced by new ones Instability was the only constant
One step at a time I've made it this far I'm not carefully treading now I'm running Thrilled to see what lies ahead
This is what I want This is who I am
Lights out Dark with a chill Animals are asleep No cars on the road
I gazed into the mirror And realized one day That my inside and outside Looked nothing alike
I've chipped away at it Piece by piece As if assembling a puzzle Of who I really am
I've assembled the puzzle To reveal my inside on the outside And with each piece, I see me More clearly than before
Now I can see my style And my heart is shining with joy Because I love who I am Inside and outside
I've started doing some recordings of poems. So far, just two, and both from my new book. Also, recorded with my phone, so... quality could be better. Still, you can check them out! I'm trying to add new ones each Friday to document my progress with voice therapy.

Love It came and went but the love I have for me will never fade
Time moves on and the seasons turn Friends come and go And the days grow cold
Sparkling stars fall all around me as I dance and twirl under the full moon
