Oh well! 

Damn though it is my fault. Everything is on me and I did this to myself by being in this shell of mine, not letting my true feelings out. I guess I have been in shutdown mode. Grieving today and a broken heart is added. Damn story of my life. I cannot seem to get it together and another person left me, and I do not blame him. It is my fault. It is what it is. Though my heart hurts it’s because of my own doing. DAMN 

 Oh Well, Oh Well, Oh Well, I will be alright……Hopefully 

Hope your day is way better than mine is! 🖤🤎💙💗💚💛🧡🤍💜

Blessings!

Finally!!

So tonight, I am excited. I have finished the rough draft of my first book. It has been a rough few months, but I made it happen. Started working on it 10 months ago. My passion and was dedicated to the process and continuing on. Wow, I am really done with it, well still must edit. Wanted to share the good news here on my blog. I don’t know if I should be this excited. There are still ways to go. For the rest of the week I will be done with edits and working on book covers. For the rest of the night, I am relaxing and mentally prepared myself for the next steps. Also, will be finishing up my poetry book soon. I am in a zone and the pen flowing. I love it. Again, want to give thanks to those who gave encouraging words and helped me on this writing journey of mine.

Hopefully, editing will be done by this weekend. I have 18 chapters to go through so I know I will be busy with work, and this. I got this I am ready! My grandma and mom would be proud. I also have good and new ideas for my blog, so I am excited about everything. Happy night for me! Okay, do not want to keep rambling…

Exciting Monday night. How is the night going for you? Ready for the week ahead? Hope you all have a good one!!!

An Escape (Poem)

In my soul 

There’s a yearning for escape 

To leave behind the mundane 

And flee this earthly landscape. 

To soar on wings of freedom 

And leave my worries behind 

To find a place of solace 

And some peace of mind 

The world can be so heavy 

And my heart feels so small 

But in my dreams of flight 

I find the strength to stand tall 

Oh, how I long to break free 

To leave it all behind 

And find a hidden paradise 

Where my soul can unwind 

But until that day arrives 

I’ll keep my dreams alive 

And find solace in the thought 

That one day I’ll take that dive 

-An Escape- 

Blessings and Love

The Stars! 

Stars twinkle in the sky so bright 

A sight that fills me with delight 

Each one a tiny spark of light 

In the vast expanse of night 

As I watch them from down below 

My mind begins to freely flow 

All my worries, all my woes 

It seems to vanish and decompose 

The stars bring clarity to my mind 

A sense of peace that’s hard to find 

They remind me of how small I am 

In this universe so grand 

I keep gazing at the stars 

Letting their beauty heal my scars 

In their light, I find my way 

And all my troubles fade away 

-The Stars- 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

My Own World! 

In my mind, I wander alone 

Lost in a world that is all my own 

Thoughts like whispers echoing in the night 

Guiding me through the darkness towards the light 

In this realm of dreams where reality fades 

I dance with shadows in secret masquerades 

A tapestry of memories woven with care 

In this sanctuary where my soul lays bare 

Let me drift in this ethereal place 

Where time stands still in a gentle embrace 

Lost in my own world yet truly free 

A moment of peace just for me to be 

-My Own World- 

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Sabotage.

In my mind, a constant battle waged

A war between reason and impulse, uncaged

I knew what was right, what I should do

Yet self-sabotage always seemed to ensue.

Hurting those I loved, leaving them in tears

My actions driven by my deepest fears

I couldn’t seem to break free of this curse

My inner demons, my own worst enemy, perverse.

I pushed away those who wanted to help

My stubbornness, my pride, my greatest yelp

But deep down inside, I knew the truth

That I was the cause of my own abuse.

It took time and effort to turn things around

To break free of the chains that had me bound

Apologies were made, amends were sought

And slowly but surely, my life was re-wrought.

It’s not easy to face the harm we’ve caused

To admit our faults, to remove the gauze

But in doing so, we can find redemption

And learn to love ourselves without exception.

But damn sometimes it’s the

Self sabotage

That gets us!

Blessings and Love

Want What You Cannot Have.

Want it, Can’t Have it…..

Have you been in a situation where you have to walk away from someone love because you knew in your heart that the two you would not have worked out? I am just sitting here thinking of that person and I miss him. Been feeling so lonely lately and thinking and missing him is making me feel worse because that is who I want. Badly. I miss the way he used to look at me, our conversations, our silliness, our vibe, the compliments, and him always being real with me. We had to walk away from each other, and it still hurts. I want him in my life, and I still feel that it would not work out for me due to me knowing this person well the way they think, and their personality. Sometimes it annoys me wondering about what if. What would happen if we did have a relationship? What if we try now? Wondering if I made a mistake when I had to walkway from him. Hate feeling this way and again feel lonely and want him next to me even if not in a relationship with me just to talk to each other would be good. I need to find something to do because he is too much on my mind. SMH, I do not like it. He probably does not still feel the same way. Should I reach out or just leave it alone? Maybe too much time has passed.

 Or

Have you ever had a person in your life that could not let go? Did all the wrong things in the relationship and you endured a lot and decided to leave but they just will not let you go. Dealing with that currently. Yeah, today I am dealing with a lot got someone who wants me but I don’t want them I feel I tried so hard for years and got hurt and I am over it. Haven’t been with this person for years and they won’t let up. Yeah, fucking annoying. And then I want someone who probably does not want me or thinking about me at all, the difference is I am not bugging the other person or begging them to want me. Constantly calling or texting them. It is the want what I cannot have syndrome we both got I guess lol. Emotions are everywhere though

Damn, can I catch a break…. LOL a little too much at the moment.

That damn feeling of wanting what you cannot have……

Blessings and Love!

Love, More Love!!!

Loyalty!

Loyalty is a virtue, rare and true 

A steadfast bond that I imbue 

To those I love, to those I know 

My loyalty forever shall flow 

Through thick and thin, through joy and strife 

I stand by those who enrich my life 

With loyalty as my guiding light 

I navigate the darkest night 

Loyalty is more than just a word 

It’s a promise that is always heard 

To be there for those who need me most 

Loyalty is an unwavering host 

I cherish this noble trait 

And hold it close to my heart innate 

With loyalty as my guiding star 

I’ll shine bright and travel far 

Blessings and Love!
