Sitting on the dock with my pain
staring at the stars above,
alone.
Locked in an endless cycle
of ‘I told you so’s.’
This is not the first time
nor shall it be the last
where I tell myself
you will not fall this time.
And each and every time
I fail.
Tears slide down my cheeks
as finally do I accept,
the reality,
the truth that comes
and put the fantasy to rest.

A single hard working mom of a soon to be teenage son. A poet and story teller I have wanted to write since I was a child. This space is where I share stories about myself and my life and the creative poetry that stirs my soul. My hope is you will pull up a chair and a cup of coffee delving into the world that I offer and you find simple enjoyment for a few moments.
