I just want to be able to love as I please.

My sentiments exactly.

Dear Future Lover,

Can I be your everything, even on days when I’m caught in the crossfires of lethargy and nothingness?

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always wanted exactly that: to be wanted.

A couple things I’ve learned and wish to pass on:

• it is terribly hard to save someone who doesn’t want to save themselves

• it is even harder to save someone when you can’t seem to save yourself

• forgiveness is easier said than done, but not impossible

• the sun doesn’t always shine, but it never surrenders to dark clouds

• it’s never a good time to give up or give in

• there is always a reason to live

I’m dabbling in the idea of publishing a chapbook of poems.

… I’m not too sure if I could sell 100 copies though.

This summer, I’m going to start writing a book.

“The Good Ones” - Imani Thompson

“This is for the good guys
and the good girls
who will never understand how doing right by someone 
always seems to be where they go wrong.”

Time to piece my life back together.

I live for things like this, little notes like this one from people who appreciate and enjoy my work. I write for myself but I set my art free in hopes that it finds it’s way into the homes of souls that need to know that they are never alone. Poetry saved my life and this is my way of giving back to poetry, this is why I do what I do.

Willing myself to win.

I’ve been taking a lot of hits lately, from every possible angle. I’ve been shattering with every bump in the road. I’ve been cracking under the same pressure I’ve lived with for the past twenty years. I’ve been breaking down for all the times I didn’t break down in the past.

To put it simply, I’ve been falling apart.

I was recently told: “sometimes we need to fall apart so that we can be put back together into a better version of ourselves” and I’m looking within myself to do so.
There’s no better time than now to become the person I want to be, to surround myself with the people that will enrich this growth, and to be reborn.

So here lie my ashes that I will rise from.

From this moment on I’m coming out of the dark and just focusing on the light.

Clean slate, I’m going to will myself into better days.

I’m going to will myself to win.

I’m falling apart… again.

Rather than do so in the watchful eyes of social networks, I’m going to walk away from the computer and my phone and shatter elsewhere.

I love watching the sunrise because it reminds me that even the darkest endings cue beautiful beginnings.

… I just don’t want my heart to be under siege ever again.
