Today, I just want to reminisce,To laugh, smile, smirk, and frown.But predominantly,I want to be gratified,To be spoiled, left stunned byHow much I've put up with,How much I've laid back,How much I've grown and thrived,How much I've read up.I want to pat myself,Maybe tickle up a littleAnd appreciate the not so little girlI Am stunned …
How About…
Photo credit - iStock How about we reach out more today, this time,How about we strive to awake those feeble and fragile insides.How about we hesitate less and grab on to those opportunities,How about we gladly open up those rusty doors,Those foggy and misty glasses,How about we take the step and choose to be their …
Brown Study
Photo Credit - favim.com Times flies they say,To me, it flew andCertainly is still flying.With time,I've grown rusty and maybeGrowing some more.I've learned more about self-reliance,Than being dependent.

Not Poetry Today!
Poetry is what I would chooseIn times like these.It's where I would go to featherMy aching heart that grievesAnd is weary from the cry burn.Poetry is where I would goTo sing my swollen eyes to sleep.It's where my fingers would dance,To the rhyme, to the rhythm, to the soundMy keyboard makes each time I tap …

Random Thoughts
For the flashy thoughts,The random funny feelings,For the exquisite muse, you grow to be,I am forever grateful. For the graceless laughs,Heartfelt and fervent smirks,The unforeseen, random acts of kindness.I am happy. For the memories we abhor,The hope we build,The tension we often let linger around.You are my wildest of worlds.

Call It A Diary 5
Whilst it is true that inspiration is drawn from the outside, it's even more realistic that we personally draw our own inspiration.

You are inspiration itself, you are the spark …
