I have lived this long.

I have survived.

Trauma has happened

but I recognize it did

and am working towards a balanced heart.

I hurt myself with daily doubt.

So, I need to find the peace that dwells inside.

After taking care of others

I realize I also need to take care of myself.

Growing up

I have so many fond memories.

My parents tried to make things fun.

Stability was never the issue.

I know they loved me and my siblings.

It was the town itself.

Other people

who did not like me.

So I will treasure my memories

but I no longer wish to visit.

Evil lurks within our hearts.

Yet hate must be taught.

Then good also dwells within ourselves.

But must also be taught.

For some doing evil comes easy

and they struggle to be good.

While others find hurting others unquestionable.

Yet, saying no, does not mean you are bad.

It merely means you value yourself

and will help with what you can

not every single time.

The reasons why

are often based on fear.

But things will come out

sooner or later.

When lying becomes a habit

it is really difficult to break.

My daughter is having trouble with this concept.

Details

Attention demanded

Talking over options

Trying to find the agreement

Conclusion found

Headache pills sought

Dark room needed to lie down in

See you in a few hours…. hopefully

Knock on the door.

Charity asking for donations.

A bottle drive.

Ten minutes later.

A much cleaner, cleared out basement.

The kids are very happy.

Their parents … maybe not so.

My friend gifted me a color.

The style was suggested by the hairdresser.

I am glad I listened to both of them.

Compliments have been very nice to hear lately.

There is always going to be someone

that you don’t like.

So be proactive

and be the one no one else likes!

All it took was one night.

This morning

the bright yellow and orange leaves

litter the ground.

Fall has arrived.

Time to dig out the sweaters.
