Lyrical Logic

I’ve been through A LOT this last year. I mean, some days my therapist wonders how I have managed to keep going this long. But I am here. There are many pieces that I haven’t shared with you, though not many. There are pieces that I didn’t really plan on releasing, but I think I’m going to. By this time next year, my book of poetry will be out. I’m spending a lot of time this summer working on new pieces and gathering together the funds to self publish this book, but I wanted you all to be the first to know.

If you want to keep supporting my work, you can do so by looking me up on “Buy Me A Coffee.” But otherwise, I’ll be sharing two pieces a week, written exclusively for you. And here is today’s……

I never wanted to do this alone. 
But I also never thought I'd be married,
Let alone divorced. 
I didn't really want anything, 
Until now. 

I never thought I'd call anyone mom.
I never thought I would want to celebrate Mother's Day
I never thought I'd ever really be a mom. 
I never thought that was possible for me,
Until now.

I let people walk all over me,
I did whatever would make them happy.
Never did I do anything just to make myself smile.
But one day it just happened,
And I realized I had let them treat me like shit,
That is, until now.
