the crush crushes, too

NaPoWriMo #16

I finally snatched the chance
to shoot my shot and shot
it with precision and purpose.

being friends first helped us.
and although a “yes”, is not
the answer . . . the door is n o t
closed to further discussion.

the crush crushes, too.
and loving me is important to her.
losing me she doesn’t want to see.

I now know the gift of being
held in high regard by someone
who secretly crushed on
me, too.

another appointment — hair care
is important. I tell myself
I am not spoiled rotten,
I’m only maintaining this
beautiful crown the ancestors
gave me.

Something To Think About #7

trE
I don’t remember where I saw this quote, but I immediately saved it because it is DEFINITELY something to think about.

I will share “Something To Think About” for the next nine weeks on Sunday afternoons. It may be a quote, a picture, an interesting phrase I heard, artwork, etc. Whatever I share will surely be intriguing or involving enough to spark a casual discussion or in-depth conversation. Stay tuned every Sunday for this feature!

Also, today is Jernee Timid’s 17th birthday! The Little Monster is still here! There is not a day that goes by that I am not in awe of her. She brings me peace. She gives me joy. And to this day, she still makes me laugh. I wouldn’t trade her for anything!

Happy 17th Birthday, Jernee Timid!

a terror within

trE

NaPoWriMo #2

I’ve never defeated the terror within . . .
I fight it and fight it and fight it, yet – its
presence is still a drumming obstacle
I cannot clear.

if I signal peace and strength, one
usually defeats the other, but this
“beast of burden” carries on inside
me like it owns the place.

I am at its mercy whether I want to
be or not.
