Finally a light.
A light at the end of a very dark tunnel.
Finally calm.
Calm at the peak of heartache and grief.
Finally,
finally,
finally,
tears of relief.

My dearest child
I will go hungry
so you can eat
I will go cold
so you can stay warm
If you’re thirsty
take my water
If you're tired
I will be your pillow
You are my heart
and my soul
And I will do what it takes
in this life and the next
I will fight
So you thrive
Instead of survive

Take a minute
Take five seconds
Long enough to ground yourself
Feel your heels dig into the dirt
The breeze hit your skin
Your tongue touch the roof of your mouth
You don’t have to have everything figured out right now
Look at it from every angle
before you walk your path
And walk

I keep my poems in my pocket. It's where I keep all my fun things
I keep them next to my favorite pen and all the cool rocks I've found on my journey
Just like my pen and my stones
They don't stay in my pocket forever
I bring them out so I can show them and share them with you

My New Years resolution
My boundaries ARE set in stone
I owe loyalty to myself FIRST
I REMOVE what no longer serves me
I ACCEPT only what has my best intentions at heart
My desires will NO LONGER be on the sidelines
My needs will be FULLY met
I WILL NOT falter

Self-care
It means a lot of things
It can be simple like combing your hair
But it can also mean putting yourself first
Or fighting for what's right
Your thoughts and opinions do matter
Some people won't agree
But as long as YOU do
That's not selfish
That's not rude
That's self care

Give thanks for family and friends.
Give thanks for the bountiful feast that nourishes our bodies.
It's a time for warmth,

You said you were in the dark
And that you felt alone
I'm glad you're here
You told me how you wanted to end it
You told me that you were afraid
I'm glad you're here
Something inside you reached out
Something begged you to stay
I'm glad you're here
Gods am I glad you're here

I'm a witch
I cast spells
I read tarot
I commune with my deities
I'm a witch
I'm not evil
I don't commune with the devil
I'm a healer and a protector
I'm a witch
I look after my own
I don't make anything baneful
Unless you give me a reason
Do not give me a reason

"My pet."
He says stern and low.
She looks into his dark hollow eyes, silent with heightened breath.
"Who do you belong to?"
"Only you..."
"Who do you serve?"
"Only you!"
"Anyone else?"
"Never! My fealty is to you. My heart, my mind, and my soul... all belong to you!"
"Good girl."

Dear past self
I see you questioning your life
You cried to sleep every night fearing the worst when you left
You lost sleep worrying about the consequences
I wish I could tell you we made it
Tell you what happens next
But I won't
We can't be who we are now if we don't go through it then

I did it
I wanted to give up
I wanted to throw in the towel
I wanted to stop
But I did it
It broke me
It made me cry
It had me frozen in place
But I did it
My back was aching
Rage was building
Guilt was spreading
But I did it
It needed to be done for so long
I did it

Buzzed this weekend
It's been a really long week
I know I need rest
But I want to sit with the Void
We sit and have a long chat
We're not best friends
We're not really close
Just mutuals sharing drinks and playing catch-up
We talk til the morning
Then I finally go to sleep
