Throwing sparks
Camp fire sizzled
Burning skylight
Darkness lit
Flames meet stars
Earth to sky
Together glow
~A.R.

Head tucked in
Screams silent
To self
Balled body
No comfort
Found
Eyes clouded
Tear burnt
No sobs
Silently curled
Away in mind
She goes
~A.R.*

With all of your senses
From toes to her crown
Learn her with all of you
Experience depth in this woman
She opened herself reluctantly
Trace her paths to tender heart
Be harsh and she snaps off
Gone away while you take
Shattered inside and gone
~A.R.*

Human Being
Just Being
Answers
Out there
Inside
Some sought
Some to hide
Living breathing
Breathe calmness
Human Being
Just Live
~A.R.*

The night time poet
Quill of ink
Lashing words
Toward ghosts
Who listen eager
For delightful tales
Of Her and Them
Or I perhaps
~A.R.*

She has a smile
Wears it fine
Behind it pain
Tired and torn
A soul seeking
Something more
Strong she wars
Battles unseen
Wearing her crown
A little askew
~A.R.*

Music playing in her head
Of the living and the dead
Blanking out the world around
Not a movement nor a sound
Stuck inside her wounds
For that short lived time
It played again inside
That movie in her mind
~A.R.*

The world spins
I whirl along
This life so hard
Yet smile I will
Despite the harshness
Of others
~A.R.*

In the heart
Buried away
Locked love
For now
Damaged
In ways
I am
Not sure
My time
My life
A whirl
Perhaps
What comes
Will be
A key
~A.R*

Beautiful Flaws

-
Far far from perfect.  I am made up of so many characteristics. As we have maneuvered this life we know we are also a collection of flaws. Beautiful flaws as they've made me who I am.  With PTSD and D.I.D,  and just being human I've made mistakes.  I have some limitations.  Anxiety plays on me. I cannot be or do what many people can. It's a difficult path. With that does come the side of compassion and understanding of others. I can be soft and sensitive.  Empathy and kindness have grown with my awareness of these feelings and obstructions.  I can be misinterpreted as being controlling when I am just trying to protect myself with boundaries.  Flaws like shortness and impatience. I know I have these.  I have needs you cannot see or understand.  My needs seem unreasonable to you. It's me. Yes.  My ground feels unstable and I can be pushed to a place where my mind state will alter. I Switch persons inside. You cannot understand unless you've educated yourself about me.

In part the definition being the house, apartment, etc. where you live, especially with your family.  I am a family of one body. My mother is in a Retirement Home across town. My aging siblings have families of their own. They are not close in proximity. And we are not in big contact with each other.  For me I had the home I grew up in. The one from 4 to 21. I was married and made a home. Close to my parents. I could make a safe place. I was there even after my marriage dissolved.  When my house was sold, I went back to my parents.  I had a boyfriend and spent usually a few days a week there. But that didn't last. I was safe at home. As my parents were aging and things were going to change I got an affordable apartment.  I've been here 3 years.  In that time I've lost my uncle, his safe cottage that I could go to, I lost my pops/dad, the family home was sold, and my mother's in a Home.  Too much. I really feel displaced.   I haven't been able to make this apartment

Create Support Network

-
Support is needed in life for everyone. Alone is not easy nor practical. The saying ' No man is an island." is a life truth that we survive together.  In times of Social Distancing, with a Pandemic, this can be exremely hard. Services and groups have gone virtual or have just gone completely.  The human mind can only tolerate a certain amount of radical changes and restrictions. Many have had their lives greatly impacted. Financially, iob changes or loss, loss of family and friends to the virus, having to move, strains in relationships, and so forth.  As a society we have angst about what life is to come next as the virus continues in waves.  It is now we are in crucial need of mental health care. We need people with new coping skills. Depression, Anxiety and other illnesses on the rise. As is the number of suicides increasing.  As individuals this is a great time to learn to build your support network.  Determine first what you may need. Examples; -Friends for emotion talk a)
