God-born
The third story of 'Divine Revelation'.
A little girl
All on her own.
The ones who were
Supposed to teach
Her how to love
Had left her to
Her own devices.
.
A lonely god
Watching from afar.
He picked her up
And sewed her tight
Into her own
Thigh to keep her
Safe from the dark world.
.
It had worked for him.
He turned out just fine.
The only downside
That she would find
Would be the scars
Decorating her thigh.
.
The little needle
pricked her skin.
At least the stitches
would keep her soul in.
Her body walked around,
not feeling anything.
.
She would be born again
Once she had grown.
But for now she is trapped
In her own flesh and bone.
Now she wonders if, when she hatches,
She will still be alone.

Turning Pages of Life
Life’s like a book — some parts are good, others not so much. Still, keep turning the pages; you might find the best chapter next. If someone hurts you, choose to forgive or just let it be, but never change who you are for them.

On Winning and Losing
Recently, the pleasant surprise of placement on the Vocal Bonus Leaderboard sent me down a rabbit hole. Now, rabbit holes are a pretty common place for me to spend time, but I don't always feel the call to write about them. To be honest, the thought of sharing some of them mortifies me.
