Slacker and Steve gets me!
I have a morbid sense of humor. I admit it freely. You falling on your face is hilarious to me – so long as you are okay. My sensitivity is often in the negatives, and my family is quick to make sure I know that often. Really I am just trying not take things too…

Princess Feeling
Opening the doors I was taken by the elegance of the room. The floor had a mahogany tone, and a gloss finish that mirrored the bottom reflection of each person on the floor. The walls were laced with oak wood, a few mirrors, and ivory wallpaper decorated by a gold trim. Two hundred guests filled…

The GOOD had its BAD
I have always acknowledged there is good and bad to everything. EVERYTHING! So I had to laugh when I noticed another example of that fact today. Colorado enjoyed a beautiful weather day today. February 10th was flattered with light breezes and a high of 65 degrees. The next 7 days will be as nice or…

What IF
What if you had noticed- The look on their face… When they waited to pick you up And bring you to your place? How many children would be born? How much happiness would there be? If you saw the lack of promise- And felt adult’s misery. I ask as I sit in the parking lot,…

Depression
So…. I walked into it- A hell absent of a destination; A future could not be seen. The doors were guarded with deception- As paths of shimmering promise. So I walked through them… Wouldn’t you? Demented with thoughts That appearances were true. Yet here I stand. Debilitated. Who knew? IT did.

Super Bowl 50

Blonde
I once woke up On the wrong side of the bed- Ran into a wall Obviously hit my head. Ever since that day I have been considered a blonde Ditsy and a little crazy Accused of my brain being gone. So I ask you When you go to bed at night Which side do you…

Made a Woman
Effortless soar up into the clouds As winds hush all around me- Chills and dreams With minute thrills that I seek. Walking on water- Swimming on sand- Eternal love- Tolerance at hand. Warm fires to sleep Glaciers caves and lips… Melting away slowly Within his finger tips.

Excuse
I am an excuse. That is all that I am. I work every time. No need to change my plan. I can make someone squirm As they try to prove me wrong. Some do not give up easy But I work to beat who is strong. As long as I live You know…

Addicted Beggar
I am a box with secrets you couldn’t see. I am just a box and you opened me. I am a box that tried to stay closed. I am a box with benefits I have yet to show. I am a box in need of a bigger purpose. I seek to be filled so not…

Sugar is my drug of choice
I was a pretty responsible teenager. I didn’t experiment with drugs, I only got drunk twice, and the only time I went to court was traffic court. I didn’t change in my adult years. My need to control everything around me made it easy to stay away from drugs and not get hooked on alcohol…

Push Ups for your Brain – My thoughts for the night
I am not getting any younger, but that doesn’t mean my mind has to get old. I want my mind to stay young, and to do so I have to exercise my brain. I don’t want to encourage dementia and Alzheimer diseases to be a part of my life in later years, and while science…

BLUE COLLAR CURSE
So came Monday- The start of the work week. The day in which I accept my weekly defeat. Tuesday was next- And how did I feel? The loss of the confidence the suit did steal. Wednesday then tried.. To lessen the week’s dump… With a cheery message I am over the hump. Thursday then offered…

I am not crazy – Because I have wondered if I am.
Crazy people do not know they are crazy. Isn’t that what we are lead to believe? The world is crazy to a crazy person. The crazy people never believe they are never crazy. So I guess that means I am sane, because I have asked myself if I am crazy more than once. So far…

SO…
So bold are you Who offer replies To written words you’ve read. So tough the language You may use With only hatred spread. So demanding are you In seeking respect For all that you may feel. So absent are you Of the intent Of the messages that you steal. So sad the day That we…

Not being bipolar does not make me an idiot! You being bipolar doesn’t make you smart. There! I said it! I have lived with someone battling bipolar disorder for many years. Each year I watch his illness become more consuming, and each year I blame him for it. Why? Because he was given a diagnosis…

Saved by the shave
Dating has never been a hobby of mine, but finding forever did not come quickly for me. I was 35 when I met him. I never thought when I started dating Derrick that laziness would save our relationship, but two years later I have learned that my shaving habits sealed the deal. No, I am…

Paris attack reactions
Hope is the purest form of expectation because it is a feeling of trust and desire. What does the world desire today? I have no idea. We live in a world of so much hatred that it feels like hope is something of past because it is something so rarely seen. When will people learn?…

Prayers for Paris
I am frustrated by the reports of another terrorist attack on innocent people. I will never understand the thoughts and actions of people who think they have a right to hurt and kill people who believe and think different than they do. I wish I could send weapons to the hostages to give them the…

Fall and Rise
My haste is a loss of all that I know As I willingly strip the gain for pride- And lose my conscience within the stride. Feeling unaided I sink too low- I riddle the thoughts You should not know. I shake and quiver And replace my strength- As a new me I insist to make.…

Slow Reality
The sound was unmistakable. I heard the pounding twice. Who would be knocking on my door at eleven o’clock at night? Quietly I walked down the stairs, and turned on the outside light, while lifting my toes to look through the peep hole through my door. Suspiciously no-one was in sight. Next, I opened the…
