Going with the wind

Now my health does not permit running it.” “I’m a brand new person after college. Renewal is the name of the game. You need to change the scene around … Continue reading Going with the wind

Meant to be #poetry #haibun

Meant to be…. By Jude Itakali

judeitakali's avatarTales Told Different

#tankatuesday

hallowed waters gaze
‘tween the above and below
mirrors to the soul

My soul was made in colour. Dark shades that once boasted of unending depths, and bright hues which flirted with boundless heights. But alas, the world judges in black and white. In one’s idea of right and wrong. In one’s perception of darkness and light.

#RXC prompt

Fall of reflections
‘pon season’s winds and rivers
one leaf, many paths

My soul is a concoction of hues. A cup of Familiar with drops of Strange.
It forms in a cauldron of Order, over flames of Chaos.
Uniqueness was meant to be my strength, yet the world has deemed it weakness.

#whatdoyousee

life may lurk within

dawn embracing dusk

If evil is born from good, then good can be born from evil. For our souls are not damned by a father’s sin…

Unattended Wound

Unattended Wound ….by Indira

Indira's avatarSharing Thoughts

ignored a wound
scars remained
physical
emotional
infection influencing mind
mind in chaos
unhappy
unconvinced
unsure
unsatisfaction
camping in the mind
total disorder
peace gone
self-esteem at the lowest
never leave a wound unattended
every wound needs a closure

i never understood
how i made it through
all the ups and the downs
all the gaps and the in betweens
all the chaos and the tribulations
all the uncertainties and trials
i never understood too
why some women are lucky enough
to have the chance i have
the chance of a good life
the chance of providing a voice
for the muted ones
the chance of living my dreams
when some women out there
are struggling to make a living
yet i am very sure they
have the same skills and talents as i am
the same determination
the same spirit
the same courage
the endurance
the same resilience
yet hiding in a shelter
worrying how the future would be
or if there would be a future at all
so this is for each and every woman
whose lives have been changed by abuse
whose fates have been…

I am bold …..by Carol Anne

Carol anne's avatarTherapy Bits

I am strange

Maybe even crazy

But…

There’s never a dull moment

Yes. I have a t-shirt with this statement on it.

That I love!

I dare to be different. I am unique!

I am unique in my own special way!

And I don’t apologize for it!

I like being me! I am strange and crazy but I am me!
