Realization

I don’t believe in too sensitive" anymore…..

Not when it comes to my writing

Real people feel the way I do

So, I figure to reach them

I have to tell them how I feel….

So, I want to be a scar they can relate to….

I have to learn how to feel my own scars

To do that."

And So It Was

And so…

Prayer became the cool side of my pillow

Putting me to sleep even more so than Mon Sourire’s sultriness

I would fall asleep on faith

To wake up in fulfillment

Back in the places that I had abandoned

The arms of my Father

The warmth of his Graciousness

Leaving my tribulation on his ears

For him to throw them into the
