Randomly curated chapters expressing themes related to friendship, self-esteem, and whatever else pops into my thought bubble.
No tantrums, ranting or other emotional outbur...
Let's have some fun. The last two chapters were a little heavy, right? So, I'm entering a poetry challenge sponsored by WP_Poetry. It's not poetic in any traditional sense, but I'm gonna give it a go. So, this is me... being all unapologetic but having a good time. Besides this version is a little saltier than my official entry.
There was a list of words to choose from, and though only five were required I couldn't help using as many as I could: •Courage •Dissonant •Eradicate •Fortitude •Ghastly •Ire •Luster •Mystique •Resounding •Sacrifice •Solemn •Spirit •Staccato •Trepidation

The spirit of Fall is in full swing October with its dissonant mystique is here
Trees once fertile and lush sacrifice their greenery The luster of dappled sunlight streams through barren branches Sidewalks and forrest floors become littered with newly fallen leaves
Is today the day?
Will I summon the courage?
Yes. Today is the day I will wear my favorite outfit and hold my head high
Without trepidation or reservation I will march proudly down the street Black yoga pants, fleece hoodie, feet clad in uggs Messy bun, edges laid One look in the mirror and I know I'm slayin'
And, I will...
I will fling open the doors of that coffee shop wide, And I will wait my turn in line
Comforted by the resounding, persistent thrumming of my phone Each step takes me closer to my goal
Finally, the moment has arrived. I swallow hard, step forward and make my earnest request -
Pumpkin Spice Latte, please. And, a pecan square - to go.
The barista nods dutifully Completing each task beautifully
What joyous fortune! Fresh cream! Warm, freshly baked bars! I revel in my favor, giving silent thanks to the barista for their labor And leave a tip in the labeled jar
A soft, shy smile lights my face
I have finally decided to breathe free. Proud of the things that I do to please me.
Yes... I am she Basic Bitch though I may be
Unapologetic lover of Pumpkin Spice everything
And with that, seek to eradicate my shame To bring respect back to the game Haters, after all are quite lame
