POETRY

These poems are a living expression of my inner work. I offer them to you as a glimpse of my process towards radical self-acceptance, healing, and growth.

Expectations

While it’s never
As bad
As you think
It will be

It’s also
Never as good
As you remember
It to be

This poem is from the book, ‘A Requiem For What Could Have Been: Poetry For The Broken’.

On The Brink

I’m on the brink,
I’m out of sync,
I need time to think.

To catch the link
Between the words I speak
To my shrink,
And my kink,
And the thoughts I drown in drink.

I’m gonna get some new ink,
A new vice in which to sink,
A new way to link,
A new way to rethink,
The chink in my personality stink
And my inability to stay in sync.

This poem is inspired by the book, ‘How To Write Evocative Poetry’.
