As nothing can keep me down, also, nothing can keep me up: I MUST do something to make it happen!

“The World is My Journal”
[written 1/20/17]
may the ground be the paper
and my feet be the pen
while my heart strokes the words
that write my story
every one has their story
personal
rich
unique
not to be copied
not to be plagiarized
not to be criticized
the road is narrow
but wide enough for friends
to experience this story with me
as you write your own
May I have your opinion?
What’s the most important thing to have in a relationship?
Traveling
Great faith brought me here, and great faith will keep me going.
She leaves on January 31st

On Sunday morning, I wasn’t feeling well, and as I was talking to Katie, I began weeping and couldn’t stop. Then, Katie started naming off all the positive things that’ve happened as a result of the past seven months, and eventually, I stopped crying. I’m gonna miss her.

sometimes
when all you have is a tear
you cry
and that’s enough
“Letting Go”
[written 1/15/17]
When people are in a bad relationship
Others tend to tell them to ‘hold on’
Hold on to what?
To the tears?
That seem to slip away?
To the silence?
That crawls under your skin?
To the love?
That can’t be seen or heard?
To the bitterness?
That cuts like a knife?
To God?
Who lives inside of me?
Okay
I’ll hold on to myself
And see where I take God
“Katie”
[written 1/12/17]
in just a moment
you’ll never know
what you mean to me
because
what you mean to me
doesn’t have words
only actions
it’s the way you smile
when you find something funny
and the way you move
when you laugh
it’s the way
you pull your hair back
exposing your perfect profile
for my view
it’s the long talks we’ve had
and the tears we’ve shared
it’s the friendship that’s grown
through Ariel’s birth
it’s the way I can speak to you
without any words
and the way you reply
in the same
imagining life
without you near
is like imagining a dance
without a song
no one really knows
what we’ve been through
and no one really knows
what we’re GOING to
but we do
and amidst it all
there’re so many good things
to look forward to
the long phone calls with laughter and tears
the video chats staying face to face
the recipe swaps making meal creations
the game apps
the letter writing
the times in thought
all those things wouldn’t appear
unless you disappeared
so farewell
and always know
you’re at home in my heart
