Poems
Poetry is the music my soul sings. It’s where words and real, raw, and alive. Words from the heart that hold nothing back. Writing poems pushes me to open up, get vulnerable, and hone into my creativity.
This section is where I share that part of myself. Each poem reflects moments of joy, struggle, growth, and hope. It’s created from deep inner thoughts and emotions.
My hope is that something here stirs something in you. Perhaps you’ll feel inspired to pick up a pen and try it out for yourself. You’ll see just how much comes pouring out, and where your own voice takes you. Here’s to poetry, and the life it brings to the page.
Poems
The House Within
The thoughts take form. I step inside. A door I never knew existed opens quietly before me. Through the fog, I begin a journey through memories, forgotten versions of myself, and the quiet search for where I lost my way.
A Letter From a Friend Who Still Cares
It shouldn’t have ended. All I wanted was to be heard. But you left me during a time when I needed you most. I remember our childhood. The first day we met, we saw each other. We grabbed hands on the first day of school and silently told one another, “We’ve got this.” We can…

Celebrating the bond with my Dog
Big brown eyes tell a story,One that is recognized in all its glory.They hold secrets, mystery, light,A sweet soul that’s always bright. A gentle companion you have been,Both throughout and deep within.Panting through the happy days,The purest joy in so many ways. Your cold black snout is my delight,I like to kiss it all through…
Embracing Light: A Journey of Awakening
It was a sudden moment. A great awakening. On a morning where the weight didn’t sit quite as heavy on my chest. The darkness consumed me, But the light— It crept in anyway. A shimmer of gold, like it knew I was ready. It didn’t ask for permission. It just came. Through the cracks in…
The Way I Bloomed
I wasn’t planted in soft soil.I grew in the cracks—beneath weight I didn’t ask to carry,through seasons I wasn’t ready for. There were days I curled inward,afraid of my own petals.Nights I mistook stillness for failure,and silence for shame. But slowly, I learned:growth isn’t always loud.Sometimes it’s quiet—a whisper of courage beneath the surface.A single…

Navigating the ADHD Mind: Creativity Amidst Chaos
A spark ignites, then slips away,Thoughts racing, night and day.A whirlwind of ideas, free and fast,Fleeting moments that never last. The world is loud, it’s hard to focus,Chasing echoes that never seem to notice.A thousand things are calling me,But still, I drift in uncertainty. My mind is tangled, hard to steer,Thoughts and plans just disappear.I…
