I Couldn't Feel Nothing
I watched silently, my eyes wide with horror as they brought the monkey in. My stomach churned as I saw its dull eyes. I felt myself take a step towards it, only to be pulled back by my colleague, Ben. I felt his hand gently squeezing mine as he held me back, pulling me slightly behind him so I could no longer see the poor creature... But it was too late, and images were already burned in my mind of the monkey, who should have been bouncing with energy and youth, walking in slowly; its legs unable to bend normally as the wounds kept it restrained in its own body.

I Love You
As I turn to my heaven, slow rain races down the windows as the world goes by in blurs. Words drum and buzz like mosquitos in my ears.

I shall roar
Those who abuse, who dare harm innocents They learn their mistake, upon my wake; For I am the protector of the weak. My roar rare, reserved- deserved

The Storm I See
I look around, Everything is calm. Nobody seems to see the storm. I look around, Smiles everywhere. Nobody sees the despair.

Get out Alive
Everything is new, painfully so. Nothing is known, all to be feared. I look around and see nothing; Nothing to help, nothing to hold,

A Break From Strife
My peace is hard to find. I am going through a lot, and it is not often I get time to do anything that brings me peace. I am out completely on my own for the first time, and being ADHD and autistic that has been a huge struggle for me. Pair that with me having a one year old who is being endangered by DCYF and my narcissistic ex, going to school, working a ton, and fighting to get custody back because DCYF discriminated against me for having disabilities, well, I do not have a lot of peace.

Forbidden Fire
“Are you trying to get us all killed?!” I shrink back as my mother rushes in, her fist raised, panic-stricken and white with fear as she stares me down after entering my room to see me holding a tiny heart shaped locket.

Healing Hands
In a perfect world, my services would no longer be necessary. My passion is empowerment and encouragement, counseling, and healing; for EVERYONE. I have found that too many people are suffering in the ways I have, and not enough platforms are truly for everyone who suffers- and likewise, not enough platforms are accessible to everyone. Many platforms, for example, are aimed at just women empowerment and healing, or minorities. Others are aimed specifically at those considered to be higher in power in today’s world, such as straight white cis men. Many counselors are way too expensive to be accessible, and many people feel ashamed at needing services from a therapist and counselor. However, you do not often see a platform that is aimed at the most important things; healing and empowerment for everyone as a community, encouraging everyone to work together and build a community of health, that does not pit everyone against each other, and that is not insanely expensive. Oftentimes, even if someone can get professional counseling, the counselors do not fully understand the issues we all face, and that lack of understanding leads the clients to feeling more discouraged and crazy. When you focus on one target group, you fail to recognize the importance of every part of the community, in my opinion. When there are three weak legs on a stool, what is most beneficial for the stool? Fix one leg, and leave the other two weak? Fix two? What if everyone worked to fix all three legs to the stool, to make a stool that is completely stable, so that pressure can be placed on all three sides equally without the risk of crashing down? To me, that is the number one solution. When you are counseling someone, you need more than just professional knowledge on the subject- you need real world experience, to understand and connect with those that need help.

A Taste Of Thrill All My Own
Precursor; I ask that anyone reading this, please have integrity, and do not try to take this from me. I have been working on this project for six years, and I am so close to being able to start up my business with it.. All I need is the money to start up and the time to really focus on it. I have put a lot of time, energy, research, and dedication into this project, and it would break my heart if someone stole it from under me. I work tirelessly to support my infant daughter by myself, and this is one of the major ways I will be able to make her proud of me, and one of the few things that I do that makes me happy in all this Hell that I have been going through, so please, let’s keep our thoughts our own! Also, trigger warning: This briefly mentions abuse and abusive acts, so read with caution if those subjects are triggering for you!

Save the world = save yourself
Let’s face it; humans are, by nature, pretty selfish creatures. When the average person thinks about saving the oceans, or any other part of the environment, it seems like far too big a task with far too little reward. It seems an impossible task, right? How can one person save anything so big, and why should we have to do it? Setting unrealistic goals, I have found, is the fastest way to ensure failure. Yet, what is even more common than being self-serving? Setting unrealistic goals! Of the average people who think about saving the environment, one will simply say it is too big a task, and serves no purpose for them personally- they don’t do anything to try. One will think it is such a big task they do not even know where to start- so they won’t even try. One will see it as a challenge to be “perfect”- they will go over the top trying to change every single thing about their own life, and will get in everyone’s face trying to enforce that strict way of living onto others- but will typically fail due to their unrealistic goals. The last one, however, sees that every little bit helps, changes their life in a manageable way, and encourages others to do what they can without pressuring about what more they should be doing; they have reasonable expectations for themself and for others, and they implement a change that can be maintained.

Kaleidoscope of Colors
When people think of colors, they think of those they see. But inside of me are colors; a raging cacophony~ The vibrance swirls together, art in their own right;
