HOLLOW It was a hollowness,Like nothing we had felt before; But we allowed it to stay,And make a home of us; We gave it space and shelter,And hoped this way, we would find respite; I think this is what loss is;It has to be felt and addressed. TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART LOVE & PAIN

TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART
TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART I think I really pushed myself,To finish the poems, letters and stories in that collection; I gave my heart and soul to that book;And most importantly; I gave parts of me I didn’t even know I had; Whether the collection will be widely read;Or it will only be consumed by … Continue reading TO HEAL A BROKEN HEART
EVOLVE, REINVENT
EVOLVE, REINVENT I’m putting my needs first;Before those;Of those around me; I need me now;More than those around me do;I cannot exist without being me; I need to grow;I need to thrive;I must evolve and reinvent myself. LOVE & PAIN
MY BISHOP ERA
MY BISHOP ERA Don’t go seeking love,Other than that of your own; Spend time with yourself;Dissecting your traumas and healing from them, Work on the important things,That make this life a bit more meaningful; Don’t slack,With the things that can be handled; At the expense of what needs to be handled;Find balance.

MEMOIRS FROM SOLITUDE
MEMOIRS FROM SOLITUDE I want to say I’m evolving;But I think I’m really just living; Evolution means you change your state;Probably into your higher self; But I think all I am just doing;Is seeing life; and participating in it. LOVE & PAIN
WALKING
WALKING Clarity was essential;Balance had to be found;We wanted this to be wholesome; Life had these moments;That often left you in awe;And to be part of it, you had to be in the moment; Without finding your process;How can you really live life?This is why solitude was important to me. LOVE & PAIN
CLARITY & BALANCE
CLARITY & BALANCE It was in solitude;That I came into this version of me; It was through solitude;That I found clarity and balance. LOVE & PAIN
LIFE LONG PROCESS
