Again?
It seems I keep cycling start over, begin again, and do over despite my promise of never again, for real this time, and the assertions of my complete dependence on God for all things concerning me. I’m experiencing mixed emotions part of me wants to celebrate my courage, resilience, and ability to bounce back or…

Momma’s Tired
Exasperated by time, failed effort, weary of fun turned old, expired pleasure, meaningless, useless intimate exchanges. A little older, more mature, feeling worn and tattered; like a notch on several belts; beautiful, masquerading elegance, presenting diva, daring, courageous yet needy and vulnerable to the elements of time, trouble, and trials. Working hard, trying to make…

Woman Like
I got my reasons for thinking, feeling, and doing what I do…being how I am. I wouldn’t expect you to be able to relate or speak to my internal torment…you’ve never been nor will you ever know my version of woman and I definitely don’t want nothing to do with yours. Vulnerability is weakness, doing…

I see the woman disguising the little girl who was disappointed, devastated, dampened, and daunted by the choices, actions, and words of another.

Weekend
It was a terrible Friday, a transitional Saturday but today is Supernatural Sunday. Everybody has things, situations, circumstances that cause them to spiral down into desperation and smoldering despair. It’s designed to knock and take you out of the pursuit of living life fully, completely; intended to cause you to merely exist But if you…

Covering
COVERING I’ve been unhappy, living in pain of mistreatment and abuse a long, long time Expected to understand why people are incapable of doing what they should regarding/concerning me Professed love so intensely applied/given improperly fathers, pastors, husband so-called covering Everyone has a justifiable reason, they can’t love me properly It continues to end up…

Room To Grow
I’m not disillusioned expecting everything to be perfect. I am so aware of human frailty in myself and others. My expectation is realistic. I’m committed to the work of us. Dedicated to the time it will take to secure the life, relationship we so desire. It’s important to me that we walk in agreement, that…
