"Poetry can be therapy, so shut the door and get comfortable, we've been through a lot since our last visit. Glad to see you brought coffee. Just a reminder, I know this is expensive, but like life there are no guarantees. I do expect to stir some thoughts you can gain from. So now, where shall we begin to make sense of this mess?"

We've had some fun, interesting talks in the comments too, feel free to join in!
Time has afforded me opportunities to reexamine many opinions and events with the clarity of hindsight and cool head of distance, but emotional memory is like a wine, good and bad clarify with time.
My poetry will cover many themes that we all can relate to, like pain, grief, adolescence, humor, and philosophy, as well as specific events, such as parenting and divorce from child and adult perspectives.
Warning: I try to keep it PG 13, but there may be some fleeting references to sex, desire, addictions, suicide prevention, adult situations, etc.
Some characters have fowl language, but most poems are free of it. I will try to warn You of anything that is approaching the limits of PG 13.
No smutt here.

Inside you will find a mixture of both, extremely RAW and refreshingly HEALING accounts of my personal war with my past. Unfortunately, Childhood sexual abuse is far too common, and many of share similar experiences. Looking back, what I could have used more than anything was someone to tell me "You're not alone, there is a lightness through the darkness, you can heal from this and most importantly don't EVER stop telling your story to make others comfortable". I've learned that silence is the best weapon for a predator, and I for one, have never been really good at doing what I'm told. I don't intend on starting now. I wear my scar as reminder that I hold the power in my own story, it is mine to tell and I won't make myself sick keeping quiet because my truths are hard to swallow, other people's comfort is not my problem. My Goal is rather simple, to let the readers know, they too are not alone. If you are a survivor, even if you still feel like a victim, this is my personal message to you. "You are strong, and it wasn't your fault. Tell someone... tell anyone...tell everyone... We shift from victims to survivors when we speak up and tell our stories. There's nothing wrong with you, and the light will shine again. The longer you sit in silence the more power your abuser still holds over you, wipe your face warrior, because there's a lion right inside of you, DONT EVER GIVE UP!"
