Give Yourself Grace

If you are feeling worn out and tired. If your heart is tied up in knots and there are darks clouds gathering in your soul.

Give yourself permission to let go. You are worthy, you are able, you are enough.

This season of hardship and chaos will pass, and you will once again feel peace in your soul.

Give yourself grace today!

Poetry Today

Roar

They will break you

Slowly they will watch you crash and burn
Under critical eyes they will steal your joy
They will laugh at your shame
But
They forget that pain builds strength

And heartache builds character
And soon your fractured soul will rise
And the world will hear
You roar

The Missing Face

The pain landed in her bones, a forever ache looking out from the wreckage of a fractured soul. What was meant to be a celebration has transformed into a gravestone. She walked the streets searching for signs of the gift she once held in her womb.

Fragmented

She wanted more than hollow words and pretty smiles, she wanted the darkness that lived in her mother’s eyes to touched her. She wanted to understand how someone so fragile could carry so much pain tucked away beneath her rib cage. All the damaged years, every lonely nights tells the same story.

She found a way to shine through the pieces of her fragmented soul.

Poetry Today

I choose the darkness…

I choose the darkness

The late lament of my soul

Held me hostage

Pain dropped in my bones

Paralyzed my love for you

Your existence pierced

My reality

And I’m left to

Curate my pain in silence©

Poetry Today

You are worthy of joy…..

Come to me

Unredeemed

Broken

Lost

In a world of pain

Where darkness knows

Your name

Come to me

Heart of stone

Wash your lips

Clean, cleanse your soul

From regret and

Remorse

There’s joy here

In this moment

Lift up your eyes

You are worthy of

Joy©
