Father No More II
From the constantly brisk basement
Every Nook
Cranny
c r a c k
To the bedroom I grew up in.
Was trapped in, usually.
But so many saw the materials
The items and assets
That they deemed equated to a child's content.
No one knew
Not enough were educated or aware of what a "father" would do.
He was no father,
As much as he was no husband,
As much as he was barely concerned about preserving his humanity;
because he won his battles.
Against a 2- 5- 7- 9- 11- 13-year old girl,
But with his love for God, he believes all has and will remain forgiven.

Until I share these words with you,
I quietly, dauntlessly hope.

Father No More I
I'm at the point
Where I no longer refer to him as
father
In the truest sense, he never was
Did he act like a great father when others were around?
Sure
Maybe
It depended on the company, really.
Out in public, though?
Sure.
He nailed it.
When a child needs a parent–
Instinctually–
father wasn't the man
who laid in the Master Bedroom
At night,
In the house I was raised in.

Just a Moment in Time
There's multiple
Clashing
Colliding
Headstrong 'til the very end.
The moment these two opposing timelines kiss,
Is the instant the finessed Vigilance
Combusts from being so suddenly
Overwhelmed

Election Day Feels
Please remember that right now we feel relief. Relief is different than happiness. Relief is what you feel when you leave an abusive relationship. Happiness comes from what you do after you leave.

Read MoreMy motto is "Triumphing over Trauma" and my life is an ever unfolding story of that. Today my blog is 2 years old. Valuable lessons and the connections I've made can be compared to gold. Fueling my passion and pushing me onwards. No looking back now as I press forwards into this new chapter.

Writing is my greatest glory
Passion filled and rich in story
Lived expressiveness through and through
Challenges I've survived are the glue
Stitching and weaving each heartache as one
Triumphing over trauma has given birth to the feeling that I've won
No regrets, only lessons lived moment by moment
Trials and errors fueled fodder for this poet
Putting it all out there, it's my badge of honor
Certainly never a dull time or a yawner
Expressing myself creatively by using words
Allowing myself to spread my wings, soaring like a bird
Sparking hope and inspiration in others
My testimony sets my mission for my sisters and brothers
