Save Me
I don’t want to be hurt. I really don’t want to be hurt. I know no one wants to be hurt, but I really don’t want to give a guy the power to hurt me. I don’t want anyone to hurt me. It’s taken me too long to make it to this point and I don’t wantContinue reading “Save Me”
Tears Stream
My grandmother cried as I stood in front of her. My mom smiled with happiness that I was there. I surprised them both by coming home for my uncle’s memorial and funeral.

I Heard You Were a Wild One!
Sometimes I’m lonely. I think how nice it would be to have a guy to cuddle with. But at what cost? A guy we can just sit together and talk about random, small moments of our day.

Go Home
Go home. No, not to the space you enter every day after work or class and entertain friends at. Go to your hometown. Go back to the place you grew up, but better yet, stay away for a while and then go back. This is your chance to reflect, to ponder, to wonder. Look atContinue reading “Go Home”

Be a Survivor, Not a Victim
Don’t be a victim. Be a survivor. A survivor has strength, determination, hope. A victim is defeated. A survivor overcomes. We are masters of our fate. We deserve to be happy so we don’t accept treatment we don’t deserve. These are our lives. We must do what we want with them. We can’t be shackled to the chains of ourContinue reading “Be a Survivor, Not a Victim”
It Could Happen to You
One day I want to marry a man that makes me want to be a better man. On our wedding day I want to look him in the eye and feel like I won’t find anyone better, because of the bond we have. At times I may feel insecure that he chose to be with me for theContinue reading “It Could Happen to You”
