TODAY IS THE DAY! My new #poetry collection, The Line Breaks Between Lives, is out now! I've put so much effort into this one; it's beautiful, it's ugly, it's witty. It bares teeth and blooms flowers!

As evidenced by the title, this is about my near life-long struggle with hypochondria.

I recently started reading the Tao Te Ching so I suppose this is inspired by it. Trying to find inner peace!

I will get out of this funk. Today is a new day to try!

I'm gonna try to start practicing radical acceptance. Wish me luck! Also, today isn't my birthday. I just used it as a metaphor 😊

these bones are weary
that carry humanity
we've walked a long time
we just keep wandering
but we won't find it out there

I'll fill my grave
with a
pile of bones
blood of wars
won and lost
I came
I saw
I loved

My mindset has been frigging awful recently (though it's been a frequent problem for me my whole life.) I'm trying to undo the damage my own brain has done and is doing to me. It will take time and a lot of effort. So I must be patient with me.

#pale pastels
the colours of spring
of renewal, new life
when the earth awakes
from its long winter sleep
and from somber grey
bursts a rainbow of hues
