behind a door that looks like home

vague shadows line the walls

I tiptoe when I walk

I brace myself to crawl

the vicious way you talk

cuts deeper than the mean

a place that should feel safe

turns violent and unseen

hurt settles in my bones

sad lingers in my head

bewildered by your love

and every word you’ve …

There is no more paradise,

nor flowers in full bloom—

there are only darkened clouds now,

and a sky consumed by gloom.

The woman in the mirror—

I don’t recognize her at all;

she used to be a mighty warrior,

now she seems so very small.

While I know this isn’t living,

I’m alive here just the same;

I know there’s more to…

or mercy

she just takes

no apology given

no explanation

no regret

some days I think

it will be today

other times I brush it off…

Dyslexia

it’s not just a disability

it’s an annoyance, people say

but I can’t help it

I was born this way

the average person sees

written instructions-

to them, a simple plan

but for me-

a new language

in a foreign land

what you see clearly

I struggle to see

that’s dyslexia-

that’s just me

when I go some place unfamiliar…

Still Becoming

I sit here and wonder, where did the time go?

Memories become blurred visions and dreams became

forgotten,

but where I am today is better than where I was

yesterday and the day before that, and honestly, I’m

grateful to be alive.

I enjoy the simple things in life,

like American bald eagles that…
