Avoid them Harass the one Whose presence Holds them Safe Now lure Pretend there’s care Where there was none Send soothing words As if to understand SNAP Release the spring They’re caught Will fight for you As you are such A poor poor thing How dare they Be safe Without you #vss365 #poetry

What has happened to the wonder in me? I used to look out into the night & see the stars— now I just see the dark. You have long been my light, remind me that I am made of magic & that stars burn inside me— even when I can no longer see them. #sensewrds 276

I wish I could still run to you Feel safe within your arms Find solace In the slowness Of your breath I wish You could just come to me Like all those times before Find music in my voice A wholeness Safe Within a gaze #poetry

Fear again I want to run I’m trapped I do not even know The cause of it Was it some feeling? Want for something else? Fearing how I’m seen? Of my own thoughts made manifest? My feelings heard aloud? How dare you feel! And think! I know They cannot see me Make me cower If I run #poetry #ptsd

Excitement At a work That I might do To soothe this ragged soul But no This mind can’t read Enough to see And so unwound The ball unravels So once again I wind up hope Instead It’s one more path Round and round To nowhere #poetry

. You didn't deserve what happened to you (by them) Being wounded in your childhood isn't a free pass to wound others in your adulthood I don't deserve what's happening to me now (by you) . #oddlyme #old #poem #wounds 2017

Traumatic events Refuse to stop When they won’t keep Their dangers at bay Losing Loss Retreat to safety Too unwell Home is empty Even my children - I cannot tend them Even the treatments - Too dangerous When those around Won’t keep me safe From their own demons I walk away So alone #poetry #ptsd

Survivors Once my father said I let it happen, recently he said why did you stay, easy to say he’s old school or dismiss him as a boomer; His words, those ideas, are not unique- I don’t hear the rapist could’ve done something different or the abuser could’ve left; #poetry #survivor

Jackals roam free While safety’s distance Takes illness for excuse What story’s told For the shaking and torn Tending wounds still weeping They say it’s madness Fearing the keeper’s whip Who joined the jackals jaws Madness may murmur But some wounds see Before the crimson bite #poetry #ptsd

Panic circles Anger to fear I’m sorry I’m sorry I’m crazy Ignore me Scratch words from my tongue Pulled from my throat Caught in the bile Please Please You love me remember Please see me Explain it No no I’m so sorry I’d never blame you It’s my fault All my fault It’s always my fault #poetry #ptsd

The aching tears apart Scattered strands of heart I’m left upon the earth Words drifting on repeat Mockery, attacks My safety was a farce There’s none for me When powerlessness Is chosen scared Such weeping fate When distance was too late #poetry #ptsd

Lemon balm brings gladness Shaking flowers Seeds jump to palm Some flowers fall Walk away No longer in disguise I laugh I want this too A little seen A little hidden A lot safe Like little spiders Among the flowers For next year’s tea #poetry #naturephotography #plantphotography #druidsky /|\
Lemon balm plant with browning flowers, their seeds invisibly held in the depth of this small thing. Somewhere, spiders the color and size of those flowers hide.Bright green lemon balm plants that have grown recently among the grasses

Fourteen hundred different feelings moving through me, Down from the depths, up through my spine— all manner of grief, and guilt, and resentment for the force of this existence, and it burns and churns away in my heart. My mind clears, becomes elated in the blurring between the worlds. #Poetry

As a kid, my mom would respond to our messes with, “Do you think fairies are going to come out and clean up after you?!” To which I would retort, “the story says the kids are the brownies, but that’s not me, so I thought you must be the fairy in the story!” She was and wasn’t amused. #folklore

there is madness in this scattering it ripples through calling for laughter poems singing rage for screaming and for writhing for following the ambling of images of sound and scent to be between unabashedly between in it only so much only so much there is only so much one can hold #poetry #ptsd

I choose madness Is it choice? To ride the skies? To flit between The layers of what’s real? I may not have chosen Horrors, terrors relived Bringing madness But I welcome it - The madness Chaos Whimsy Worlds of my own making Unmasked wilds I do not know That I can Do anything else #poetry

Dreaming sadness Unfound friends A family where the loss is tended - Still she hopes the flowers bloom But children, they are left behind Perhaps that’s better Then alone I sit upon the cold and drifting Finding - But it is too late I am alone Among them all Still tending Tending sadness #poetry

I assaulted him? How is the drunk one with established boundaries of no intimacy after alcohol the one at fault? Trauma established, rules made sober. He was in power and didn’t stop it. When a later assault was named, he claimed himself victim. Never admitted fault either time of course. #ptsd

Depression, it devours me It marks me, makes me crawl I want to carve its pain into my arms To tear the hair out from my head To rip my clothes and paint my face To scream and weep beyond disgrace I want collapse, I want destruction All things falling beyond function 1/4 #poetry #ptsd #depression

Yesterday I told my workplace I won’t be returning mid-July at the end of my Safe Leave. My career, all the support and work I gave my community as a therapist, wrapping up. My healing journey uncertain. Any future career unknown. I have so much grief. #ptsd

Someone set a salve beside me For tending of these wounds Then walk away There’s too much grief for staying When your own life might hold joy But if you could Return from time to time And let me see the ways It weaves into the arches of your face That I might touch them And remember #poetry #ptsd

The San Juan mountains accentuate the far horizonA sunset picture, filtered so the sky appears in hues of turquoise and teal and the sunset colors remain more true to their oranges and reds. The San Juan mountains accentuate the far horizon and cottonwood silhouettes are on the right sideA sunset picture, filtered so the sky appears deep purple and indigo and the sunset more pink-red. The San Juan mountains are barely visible on the far horizon and cottonwood silhouettes are on the right side of the horizon . The moon is a smudge in the upper left corner. A sunset picture, unfiltered. The sky is orange at try horizon and shifting to deep blue at the top of the picture. A single star is visible. The San Juan mountains are barely visible on the far horizon and cottonwood silhouettes are on the right side of the horizon.

Grief & pain well up From now & other times I’m not okay The days still strung With undone tasks And plans unmade My breakthroughs Are like fighting my own screams To stay & hope for safety And to feel it all But these Don’t feel Like hope They hurt It’s just Another part of hell #poetry #ptsd

Heart hurts Mind calls out A shrieking inner dialogue I can’t escape I want to run But stuck Too much to do And nothing ever good enough For wraiths that haunt The eras I cannot escape Automated masks arise To hide it all Until I’m unsure I even exist As anything That’s really me #poetry #ptsd

Children in the creek Making friends With ripple & silt Childhood & wind Two become four Fairy houses & bug hotels Childrens’ paws join dog’s Along the bank They ask before they take a leaf Of me, as who is meant to know And their own sense Of right & balance #poetry #photography #creek 1/2

I have been a love-starved, tragic woman— familiar with the weight of being difficult to love through all my hunger. I have been manic, possessed, and searching inside— the place in me no one dared to go. Visiting worlds within myself, unraveling— endlessly, like my dreams. #Poetry #SkyPoet

Don't forget to hydrate. Don't forget to rest. Don't forget to disappear into art & books. Don't forget to make a mess & cause a ruckus once in a while. Don't forget to wander in mysterious forests, for a day or a lifetime.
