I give you the gift of my heart with everything in it
so please be careful with it
I donβt want it to be broken apart again
if you decide to leave on a whim
I wrote this poem in February of 2025.

With a fiery madness, she survived and made it out alive
tragedy after tragedy, diagnosis after diagnosis
she questioned how or why she did it
Many stood astonished at how she kept herself together
and composed even as her life and her body fell apart
but after a while it was easy for her to triumph
after every devastating plot twist
she was something else
a mixture of manic pixie girl and goddess
she was special

middle age me is not seeking revenge on all who caused me trauma
Iβm simply trying to make sense of the fuckery that happened to me
Iβm simply trying to address the unhealed trauma that still lies
within me and haunts me in my dreams
Iβm trying to process and understand that I never deserved any of it
Iβm trying to get rid of that shame and guilt Iβve carried from it
and while sometimes that looks vindictive
Iβm sorry but the only way to my journey in healing work
is through uninhibited storytelling

help her find hope after becoming the worst version of herself
after getting herself entangled with men who did nothing
but hurt her
help her find grace after the fall from the altar of love
men placed her on and she turned into a monster
who resembled medusa
help her find a path to enlightenment and purpose
after she once again drowns in waves
nostalgia and grief over what could have been
I wrote this poem of February of 2025.

one day Iβll meet a man who wonβt be afraid to take my hand
and declare his love for me in public
one day Iβll meet a man who wonβt have eyes for another body
other than mine
One day Iβll meet a man whose values aligns with mine
One day Iβll meet a man whoβs always looking for ways
to evolve and better himself
One day Iβll meet a man who wonβt run away from his emotions
and confront them head on even when it hurts
one day Iβll meet a man whoβll want to make me his
for the rest of his life without blinking an eye
and say Iβm one the best things thatβs ever happened to him

Iβm looking for the rhythm of a new heartbeat to fall in love with
A heartbeat that goes with the flow of my intense intimacy
A heartbeat who doesnβt call me angel or princess
only calls me by my name
a heartbeat whoβll fall in love with the real me
and not the idea they have of me
or the persona I play on social media
A heartbeat who can handle my crazy and chaos
A heartbeat who accepts and understands me
and never tries to change me
I wrote this in February of 2021.

The winds of defiance rules my heart
I love someone I shouldnβt
Who stirs up hate and love
within me
I feel underwhelmed
by everything wonderful
in my life
The winds of defiance rule my heart
And I shouldnβt want to run
from my beautiful lover
and yet I want to
And I desire danger and intensity
even if what I really need
is peace and calm

Write about your first computer.
Excitement over our new computer
I canβt wait to get into those yahoo and aol chatrooms
Iβll bet Iβll meet someone and maybe even fall in love
maybe Iβll have better luck find a man online
than I have in real life
maybe the man I find will stay and become
my soulmate

Mason like the jar was his name
being a fuckboy was his game
He tried to act wise beyond his 23 years
But he was still wet behind his ears
He thought he could deceive me
and lies and lies and lies he told me
told me he lived with a roommate
when it was really his soul mate
He wanted his ice cream and cake
but I saw through his con game
And right away I stopped our lust filled affair
My respect I needed to firmly declare
I wrote this poem in January of 2022.

I fall in love easily
Reckless without abandon
Wanting to give him
My everything
This is my fairytale
I am sixteen
I fall in love with caution,
with time, with patience
with acceptance
Wanting to give him
My forever
This is my fairytale
I am 23
I fall in love immediately
Impulsively, sexually
Wanting to give him a love
heβs never known before
This is my fairy tale
I am 37
I fall in love with laughter,
With dancing, with practicality
I want to give him my life
This is my fairytale
I am 39
I fall in love with my body
With my creativity, with my resilience
I want to pour all the love I have
Into myself
I am 40
This is my reality

once upon a time I wrote a lovely poem about us
and called it by starlight
it told the story of our first night
but now youβre gone and all Iβm left with
are memories of who we once were
and while I miss you
I know itβs better this way
we both needed a clean slate from our baggage
to start anew with someone else
we both needed to have a brand new start
with someone who fits into the new versions
of who we are now
I wrote this poem in January of 2022.

My former lover prays for me because I won’t fuck him
Is this how it feels like to change my story from on call whore
to an Iβm healing and deserve better “Woman
Is this how it feels like to to go from fun girl to healthy woman
I use to measure my worth by who loved me or who wanted to fuck me
but those days of impulsivity and “hey, this will be fun”
are long gone
Now are the days of painful transformations,therapy worksheets, self reflection
and most importantly self love
So I put away my sexy vixen persona
And I put on my ” βI’m authentic without apologies personaβ
Iβve stopped living to please others
and now live to please myself
I wrote this poem in January of 2025.

My past called to me and I made the mistake of answering it
and looked for the former main characters in my life
Stalked them on google and social media
and most of them didnβt want to be found
perhaps they did the right thing in wanting to live their lives
in peace without their ghosts haunting them
but two of the ones who had the great impact on me
both of them are happily married
one of them has a son my youngest sonβs age
Iβm glad he grew out of his peter pan syndrome
and the other is about to finally become a dad at 43
his lifelong dream come true after waiting for so long
Iβm trying to be happy for him
and with all that Iβm ready to really close that chapter
On my past because while I was distracted from my grief
And highly entertained by my theatrics and my shitty choices in men
when I was in my twenties
Its time to stop this business of reminiscing of what was
and what could have been
Its time to accept what is and what could be
and focus on making my own lifelong dreams come true
And be open to my invisible string out there somewhere
waiting for me
I wrote this poem in January of 2025.

grief found me on a sunday night in the shower
and cried all of the tears I had been bottling up
since my uncleβs passing
lately it feels like life is running through my hands
and thereβs not enough time to do everything I want
thereβs not enough time to make an impact, an imprint
on this earth
lately I feel like a footnote
just existing on the edge of life, of love
