POETRY
Express the mess to release the stress! Writing to, from, and about the parts within.
Complementing The Future
By complementing the future
She crafted the present.
Her words revealing a truth
Others couldn’t yet see.
Not for lack of trying,
But because she hadn’t yet spoken.
The truth was merely a dream,
Waiting for her birth it into reality.
Now here, its eternal nature is manifest.
The future, now present, informs the past,
And thus, her words were true before she ever spoke them.

escape their fate
souls entwined
with a desire
to escape their fate
ancestors
collectively mourning
lost childhoods
disparate people
drawn together
by shared suffering
stumbling
forward
into a new life
fleeing their pasts
unwittingly creating
their futures
they know
what not to do
but not what to do
attempting to avoid
the same mistakes
their parents made
desperately praying
for their children
to escape their fate

If I Were
If I were
To let go of my pain
Who would mourn
The future
I was never able
To have?

Fleeting
Eyes meet
A fleeting moment
Futures fractal
Possibilities endless
Turn away
A moment passes
Fading memories
What can never be
