A Short Story Of Us. The wood falls again and we restack the logs criss-cross while sprinkling more dead leaves. I click the lighter and after a few breathless moments it ignites and we have a flame. Over the next hour I add and build to our fire, while you prepare dinner. Chicken sizzles on the grate above the heat and I hear you chopping vegetables inside the cabin. Tacos were always one of my favorites and you make the best ones. As I sit outside waiting, I put my book down and look up into the trees. My most loved time of day has come; The sunlight streams through the leaves

Take this pill You’ll be all set My body is An image Of a standard Society set My body is A career And expectations I have not met So I take these pills And voting kills All in a hope to pay the bills But My soul is Hopes and dreams yearning To achieve My soul is Love and support That make Me believe My

In the darkness You design A fatal way To tell A lie In the darkness I cry Don’t belong Forget words To our song And if a promise Is just air Then what the Fuck is that? I sit in wonder Die inside When will you Call me back And if it was true You’re not true Nothing is ever true When the sky is blue There is more Than me and you Fall again Falling down Alice in Wonderland Without my crown Here we go I’m going to drown In the way a Smile is now a frown Don’t believe me? Well it’s true See the

The answer to this question is ever changing. First, the facts. My degree is in Education and English and I work in a school. I live in the United States and would love to travel. My family means the most to me. Most days I take pictures of the sky and stare as planes fly overhead. I’m fascinated by Earth and space. I’m always open to literature suggestions. Writing is my passion and I’m experimenting on Medium. I’m also exploring tarot cards and spirituality. My other interests are music, animals, women’s health, veganism, our environment, and learning as much as possible. Beach volleyball is my favorite sport. Like the rest
