Compassion
We each live our own truth, Spun by minds different as can be. History shapes our perceptions, Neurons firing with altered chemistry. Yet the emotions we all feel, Are as kindred as can be. Borne from the same condition, Etched in the rubric of humanity. The first time Joy of a child, Smelling a freshly bloomed rose. Or the melancholy of an old man Reminiscing his deceased love's ghost. The fury of a woman, shown her body doesn't belong to her. Or the courage of girl, Breaking free from the m...

Authentic
Am I the most myself When I am all alone? Free from others’ judgement, All the feelings and thoughts I own. But the voices of the critics Don’t enter through my ears. They emanate from within, And they’re borne from past cried tears. Too fat, too skinny, too dumb, too lazy, Worthless, useless, inadequate, and crazy. These adjectives we conform to To make us “accepted” by society, Are dungeons created by our minds Guards armed with shame and anxiety. When we take a broader look around See ever...

Vulnerable
When a soul is born it is just a heart, To be surrounded by purest love, To be cushioned by absolute comfort, Exposed and receptive to the whims of above. Programmed to survive, yearning to thrive By connecting to other hearts. Every smidgen of experience becomes self, Preparing to cope as she departs. Despite best efforts, life does its thing, Irrevocably, passersby leave craters, Sometimes out of carelessness, occasionally cruelty, Criticisms, rejections, violations, and haters. Astroids cr...

Mothers
The minute you find out That a life now exists inside of you and because of you, Your own fills with boundless meaning and becomes less important in a moment. Your heart overfills with love, Constantly replenished by the springs of your new found purpose. It feels warm, supple, resilient and expansive. It fuels, empowers, and calms you. This love guides your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs like a North Star. You gain empathy for all mothers, for all people, knowing that someone feels this way...
