⚜️One month⚜️ A month of no appetite A month of lost sleep A month of anxiety A month of failure A month of stress A month of chaos A month of anger A month of fear and then finally Peace #Poetry #PoetrySky

26 letters A sea of words to sail through Some of them are rough Some of them are easy All of them a journey #Poetry #PoetrySky

Another haiku: I'm dehydrated. ADHD goldfish brain. Coffee has water! #Haiku #Poetry #PoetrySky

Hyper aware Hyper focused ADHD picks up on everything Every sight Every sound From the forever drip of a faucet To the squeaky rotation of a 5 year old fan blade We hear it all We notice it all It all fucking sucks #Poetry #PoetrySky #ADHDSky

Dear [Name Redacted] I remember how you used to bully me I was happy With lots of friends You didn’t like that Did it feel good smacking my glasses off my face? Was I a good distraction from your dad beating you at home? I'm not afraid of you [REDACTED] You know I know everything 🖕🏻 #PoetrySky

A haiku My mind is open But you refuse to listen Tiny mind, big mouth #Haiku #Poetry #PoetrySky

I cried tonight My 8 year old asked me to read to her I got to read this time It's a rare treat She's an amazing reader So it's always the opposite I read her chapter after chapter And watched her slowly drift I read a few more pages while she fell asleep in my arms #Poetry #PoetrySky

It's not stupid if it works It's not stupid if it helps you do your tasks It's not stupid if it gives you the ability to function It's not stupid because someone says it is It's not stupid if it keeps you sane It's not stupid if it goes against societal norms It's not stupid #Poetry #PoetrySky

Finally it's October 1st My favorite month The weather begins to cool The leaves crunch under my boots when I walk down to the bus stop I get to celebrate fourteen years of marriage on Halloween Everyday will be a treasure And I will enjoy it while it lasts. #October1st #Poetry #PoetrySky

Found a lull in the rain Just enough to sit outside It's not too hot It's not too cold It's the perfect weather to sit outside with a cup of coffee Breathe in the brew Breathe in the breeze It's a good reminder to find stillness in the chaos #Poetry #PoetrySky

When my child started kindergarten we taught herself defense At 6, she could to break from a wrist grabs, scream for help, and bite She's 8 In a brief spar, she broke skin with her bite And knocked the wind out of my chest with a headbutt It hurt I couldn't be more proud #Poetry #PoetrySky

I'm not metal I will not warp myself until I'm useful in someone's eyes I'm not wood I refuse to be hollowed out to be filled with hate I'm not glass I am not delicate that I will shatter by your words I am my own Master Craftsman Only I can create myself #WordPromptChallenge #Hollow #Poetry

Yes you will heal From wounds of time There is Hope For those who feel lost Once was lost Now I Am living A rich life Within

Take the veil off Pull the wool off your eyes Your gut knows the truth You've been lying to yourself because you didn't want to believe it And it hurts I'm so sorry that it hurts But now you can heal Healing won't happen overnight But you will heal I promise #WordPromptChallenge #Veil #Poetry

It's September 21st The start of fall My favorite season You can feel it beginning In the breeze In the trees In the rain I enjoy the chill in the air I enjoy bundling up and seeing my breath, walking outside A calm is in the air and it's silent and tranquil at last #Poetry #PoetrySky

I turned 35 on Sept. 18th 35 I know 40 is right around the corner but I'm still me regardless So what if I have gray in my hair So what if I'm not as spry as I was in my 20s I'm still me I'm going to be me when I'm 40, 50, 60 and beyond. Life's too short to be anything less #Poetry #PoetrySky

I woke up from a nightmare screaming I can't remember what it was about No sights No sounds Not a single vestige remained I just remember the fear and panic Why do our brains invent scary things and then forget what it's created? I guess I'll never know #WordPromptChallenge #Vestige #Poetry

I watched a spider make her web today I'm not fond of them, but I can appreciate her work I'm fascinated by the geometrics How did she learn to make it symmetrical? How many years did it take to get it right? For now I'll just sit and think as I watch her work. #WordPromptChallenge #Web #Poetry

I've been seeing a lot of butterflies lately walking down to the bus stop. Different sizes Shapes And colors flutter by The spiritual meaning talks about change and transformation What does that mean for me? How do I get to see the beauty of my wings? #WordPromptChallenge #Spiritual #PoetrySky

I feel a tidal wave of energy More energy than I've had in a while My living room is organized The pile of dishes that've been glaring at me for months are all washed There's still work to do But it's a space that I can Finally Finally breathe in #WordPromptChallenge #Tidal #Poetry #PoetrySky

Palimpsest to scrape away old text, layer over it with something new, but traces of the old still peek through It feels like metaphor For life For recovery For trauma Someone may try to change you to your core But deep down Who you are can never be erased #WordPromptChallenge #Palimpsest #Poetry

How nice would it be to be a bee? I could fly all day. Find all of the pretty flowers. Sip on the sweetest nectar. Take a nap on the most comfiest of petals. Build the sturdiest honeycomb with my sister's. Oh how nice it would be to be a bee. #WordPromptChallenge #Honeycomb #Poetry #PoetrySky

Thorns are wild On their own they do nothing they're just part of a plant But to others it's an inconvenience Be like a thorn today Be defensive Be protective Teach the people a lesson You are not leaves to be walked on You are a bed of thorns and you bite #WordPromptChallenge #Thorns #Poetry

A memory can be a mirror It can reflect beauty It can bring enlightenment It can also shatter Even the best memory has the sharpest edges What can you do with the pieces? Pick them up and risk getting cut? Throw them away? Hide them? Do what brings you peace #WordPromptChallenge #Mirror #Poetry

Why is it always dark for you? Why can't you see your hand in front of your face? I'm right here! I promise you're not alone! My lantern is lit! It's shining so brightly! Look for it! Tell me you see it! It's here, I swear it's here! I promise! #WordPromptChallenge #Lantern #Poetry #PoetrySky

Give me a microphone I will sing how much I love you Give me a typewriter I will write a love story with its keys Give me a journal I will fill it with my heart Give me a sketch pad I will fill it with my soul You fuel my creativity You are my inspiration #WordPromptChallenge #Typewriter #Poetry

My love for you isn't muted pastels It's not matte or glossy It's not iridescent or pearlescent It's neon My passion My longing My love It's bright and vibrant Not a dreary color in sight When the colors come together, the neon rainbow becomes you. #WordPromptChallenge #Neon #Poetry #PoetrySky

Which path is right for me? Is it the dirt with winding roads? Is it the paved one that stretches for miles? Do I follow the footsteps of the ones before me? Do I walk in areas no one's ever tread? Compass of life guide me to my first steps #WordPromptChallenge #Compass #Poetry

It's taken a while but I'm finally at a point to where I know myself No longer will I put up with hate No longer will I be a marionette I control the strings My journey is my own My path is clear For once in my life I give myself peace #WordPromptChallenge #Marionette #Poetry #PoetrySky

Dull aching pain behind my eyes It's been creeping up in the back of my skull for days. I take a few sips of my coffee to get relief The caffeine floods my entire brain like a waterfall It crashes into every corner of my mind until finally I have calm seas #WordPromptChallenge #Caffeine #PoetrySky

I'm a Virgo What does that mean? I see every detail I notice things others miss I am an archaeologist I dig up fossils, like the ones in your closet, and keep them I may never use them But just know that I have them Whether I keep them to myself is up to you #WordPromptChallenge #Fossil #PoetrySky

Another retrograde ends Chaos stills The tension eases The cosmic ripples are no longer in motion I'm tired My circuits are fried But I survived I'm still here #Poetry #PoetrySky #WordPromptChallenge #Circuit

Lost in the sea that is my mind. ADHD paralysis is a labyrinth of chaos. Every corridor looks the same. The markers I make for myself to stay on track disappears. Where is a goddamn map when I need one? How the hell do I get out? #WordPromptChallenge #Labyrinth #Poetry #PoetrySky

In the kitchen doing dishes I feel your lips graze my neck Your velvet tongue licks at my skin A primal hunger for my body overtakes you When you growl, it sends me into a frenzy Heavy breathing Another kiss Then I shakily return to washing dishes #WordPrompt #Velvet #Poetry #PoetrySky

My wrath is not a flame It's not smoke It's not heat It's not ash It's embers It's slow burning The kind of burn that digs deep Once it's on you Once you feel it You will never forget it And you will l think twice before making me fuel it again #WordPromptChallenge #Embers #Poetry #PoetrySky

Tongues dance in each other's mouths Euphoric alchemy brews under the stars Bodies entertwined Fingers laced in between strands of hair A blissful ride on a moonlit night Then cuddles in each other's arms until they see the sunrise #WordPromptChallenge #Alchemy #Poetry #PoetrySky

I stayed up late last night You went to bed before me I heard you murmur in your sleep as I nestle up to your back You pull me closer and lace your fingers into mine I breathe a relaxed sigh as I drift in and out of sleep #Poetry #PoetrySky #OneWordPrompt #Murmur

Tell me your story Whisper your secrets to me Tell me Your passions Your successes Your failures Tell me your favorite color so I can find it in a million things Tell me your favorite snacks so I make sure you always have them I want to know everything because you're my everything #Poetry #PoetrySky

I see that you’re overstimulated I see that you’re stressed because of the tiniest things I’m sorry I wish there was something I could do I don’t know if I could help without being in the way I know I can’t hug you or touch you right now But I'm here when you need grounding #Poetry #PoetrySky

I love you I love you so hard that it hurts You're the first person I think of when I wake up And the last person I want to be with when I go to bed My heart beams seeing you thrive It aches seeing you hurting You are my other half My soulmate My love I love you #Poetry #PoetrySky

🔅Breathe deep 🔅Enjoy the morning before you dive into the chaos 🔅Sip at your coffee in peace 🔅The world maybe just waking up 🔅But you can take your time #Poetry #PoetrySky

I think a lot about my choices that led me down the paths I’ve walked I think about how different my life would've been If I never met my husband Or had my child If I had chosen to stay in the abuse from my father instead of run away Honestly I don't think I would be me #Poetry #PoetrySky

@tregallery.com saw this today and thought of you 😂😂😂

Grief doesn't have to be about losing a person Grief could be about feeling defeated, mourning the loss of a friendship or a relationship It could be grieving missing parts of who you or someone else used to be It isn’t linear and it’s confusing But it doesn’t make it hurt less #Poetry #PoetrySky

I write my poems so I can scream I write them to use my voice I write them so my thoughts are coherent I write them so I don’t get interrupted I write them so I don't hear "You're wrong." I write them so my voice isn’t overshadowed by stupidity I will never stop writing them #Poetry #PoetrySky

May your coffee be strong your thighs even stronger May you fold him in half and he welcomes the honor Hand to his heart, feel it echo in shambles May his soul bow low, tilt his world off its axles Beckon him close, his head to your breast Revel in his pleasure as he sinks in your depths #PoetrySky

Language bends for poets We are the blacksmiths for the written word We mold and shape letters to do what we want We make text that can heat things up And cool things down We are the voice others hear #Poetry #PoetrySky
