My mask idles in a pool of serinity
Behind it, my ego rages silently
The two battle as they always do
I’m a #humble introvert, an imposter
Surrounding myself in a halo of false pride
An artist with no skill, no talent
So today,
I step back and let the truth breathe
#vss365

I’ve been gifted the joy of a song,
the sight of grace in motion

My scars fade,
each one a lesson

My burdens ease,
and I’m left stronger than before

With only #gratitude,
the quiet is all I need

#vss365

The staircase of my life
Full of missteps and falls
The moon has seen them all
#Regret isn’t loud, Luna says,
It’s the silence that follows
#vss365

There was a word I thought of when I saw this image
I ease my toe into the realm of fantasy
Wade into my imagination
The word is there somewhere
I can #recall the wonder of it, but it has slipped away
I take the deep dive
Plunging into madness
And there it is …
#Vss365

The beast sleeps now
My wounds still warm
The #memory raw

Blood runs like sap from a wounded maple
She’s a carnivore, I remind myself—yet I return

I'm stuck in endless loop of violence
It’s the purr, that ancient siren-song
I am already stepping closer
#vss365

I’m an author
I’m a writer
I choke on the words
Truth is, I’m a fraud,
a #boho adrift among the truly gifted

The word fraud slips easily from my lips,
Like tailored suit, it fits me
Yet here I sit
Stringing random words together
#vss365

Another boring doorway
Reality lies beyond
Sameness seeps through its cracks
I need something less #monotonous
Something … beyond
The door behind though,
That’s where I store my imagination
No key required
#Vss365

The drug reaches maximum velocity.
I cling to the edge of reality as it bends
The view at the #apogee is a melting cathedral of color
Salvador eyes me and laughs
I am in his world now—and gravity is optional
