I am a bunny

I am a bunny

hear me roar.

What?

You say that I cannot roar?

That I am too tiny and too cute?

Do you not see the fierceness

with which I protect my heart?

Do you not see

that I am the provider of my family?

I am a bunny

see me soar.

Why?

Why do you say I cannot soar?

That I am meant to stay rooted to the ground?

Do you not see the dreams

that I create within this harsh world?

Do you not understand the hope

that I watch each day unfurl with?

I am a bunny

tiny and cute

fierce and determined

ready to embrace

the differences that life will share.

  1. Without getting weird or whatever, I just wanted to thank you. Out of 120 something followers, you’re 1 while has shown concern for me. And I greatly appreciate that. I know I goof off a lot but just wanted to be serious for a minute. Thank you for always talking to me and I honestly feel like you’d be pretty sad if I left the blog or stayed away for a long time. Such concern is a rare thing. But I feel it coming from you. Thank you Jay-lyn. I really appreciate you!

                    5. You don’t need to worry about me.

                      I really enjoy our similarities. I worry about some of your posts but I understand you.

                    6. Don’t worry. I am in an incredibly happy place right now. My poetry as dark as it is is all creative. Nothing I am going through. Lol both of us had exact same first statement. We really are alike.

                    13. She seemed very friendly… to guys she met in person.. but to me, she wouldn’t hold much of a conversation. Don’t know why she was even on the site. She didn’t have issues hooking up with guys…..

                    5. If you have slogged through back posts last year I had a well break down/remembrance/rebuild myself. My childhood not so great but now having faced it having forgiven myself I am happy. Genuinely happy with myself. With my life. And right back at you. Always here.

                    6. I’ve read a lot of your blog. But don’t think I have read a quarter of it. I just went back this far to have a somewhat more private conversation.

                    7. I understand. You could also email me. But yes this is more instant. I fell down and went Kaboom! Dec. 23/17. It was the day my real life started. It is the day that began my journey to now…

                    8. I would email but… Kristian from Life Lessons and I became pretty good friends. I thought nothing about it we exchanged numbers. Told the wife about it and she went berserk…. so now I’m wary of any conversations outside the blog…

                      Talk to me, what led up to this?

                    13. The biggest thing was forgiving myself. For talking about what happened. For accepting that my brain hides from me what it knows I cannot handle. Yet let’s me see some because she (brain) knows I can handle it. Weird I know

                    121. She doesn’t know names. She knows I talk to females. And out of respect to her and the people I talk to, I try to stay clean. I’m not trying to raise eyebrows or cause anything.

                    123. I do feel bad for talking so much on here though. She works a lot and I can’t talk to her all the time like I would like to.

                    125. It’s why I disappear sometimes. I talk so much with people on here I feel guilty for not talking to her. But I can’t that’s the thing. Little conversations here and there.

                    181. It’s why I prefer to stay on the blog. Email is a bit personal. Anyone can read our outrageous stuff here. And I’m ok with that!

                      I know I went back a ways for this, but my intention was to personally tell you thank you for being an awesome friend! You can delete all this if you want.

                    185. Thank you for this though. Bringing it up. I guess we should talk more about it. Sounds dumb but I don’t always think about things like that. I just get into the thing of talking to friends. I don’t think about things like that. Guess I should..
