    Internal Inferno

    here I am... standing in the ashes... of what you thought burnt to the ground but for one tiny detail... you might have won   thing is this... the only thing you burned... was a bridge I remain...though changed and you no longer have access   you are no rival... for the...

    Jewel Tone Days

    I have embarked upon my autumn era no longer flush with the lush beauty of youth I've mellowed... become more serene... at peace   don't be foolish  never mistake it for sedate I burn still ...inside... with the fires of Survival   as my vibrant shades begin to fade and others take...

    • I can identify with this being I’m turning 64 soon. Life is how you look at it. Your strength in this shows your positive view about yourself. That’s called wisdom. Great writing, Willow.

      • It took a lot of years and scars to arrive at this place. I imagine there will be more scars before I finish my journey. But I don’t mind the dents as long as I know I lived to the best of my ability. I’m rolling up on 58 myself and suddenly 60 doesn’t look that old anymore. Thank you, Tim

    • Ahh but the mind is a fearsomely powerful weapon we often use against ourselves. Thank you, Peter

    • I never thought I’d be one to age gracefully. When I was young I thought for sure I’d fight it tooth and claw. But here I am, looking backwards and smiling forward. I don’t know what the days will bring, but I know what the years have brought. I’ll face them with a cup of something hot and a determination to make the best of them. Thank you, my friend

    • Thank you, Thomas 😊

    “Because you suck.”I bet you, you don’t hear something like that too often, especially in front of a crowd at Barnes and Noble.She was sitting next to one of her new rising authors watching her sign her latest romance...

    Honestly...

    I don't want to be part of a broken down culture one that considers my daughter no more than a breathing incubator and my mother a drain on society me...well, I'm useless without a uterus not that they care about babies... only their making let...

    • Omg I got chills from this. I can see you on a podium reading this. It stirs the blood and makes one pay attention. Brava;))

      • I had me a moment here. Played the spoken word for my daughter and she said “Damn, mom! That’s perfect.” That was gold for me. Im too big a chicken to read in front of people, but I thank you, Fia

    • Mic “Fucking” Drop!!

      • I believe that might be the shortest comment you’ve ever left on my writing. 😂 And I’ll take it as the statement it is, my friend

    • First read this offline, we really missed reading you Lady. Tight piece

      • I’m back. Had to get my head right before I stepped back into the halls, but this is home. Thank you, ME

    • Community isn’t always…or often even…made of blood. It’s the souls who welcome each other no matter what they look like or how different they may be. Blood may be thicker than water, but toxic blood is lethal. I don’t believe in fitting in. I believe in filling the space destined only for you and standing side by side with others doing the same. Nobody else has the ability to be you. Or me. I’m glad you found support and compassion, Brenda. It’s very important 🧡
