So I finally finished writing The Voices Within. (Cover below 👇)
And I am trying to pick the next volume title… So I want input here. Pick your favorite! I will announce the winner next Thursday.
There is six options. Comment the one you think would be the best.
As I am so close to the finishing of The Voices Within…I decided to share older poems this week.
One new, one old. What are you writing?
Those who follow me probably noticed that I have been awol for a few days – nearly two weeks… That is because I went on a vacation. I visited my parents, my brother, and my son and his youngest son. The poem in the picture is one that I wrote as a child and my dad held onto. Next week I will be back to posting, and I am hoping to be back on track… But I wanted to enjoy the family time, as it is a rare beast.
Choice stolen,
It’s rarity increased.
Dreams broken,
So you hold tighter
To the ones that remain.
Virginity a concept
That your worth
Can be stolen away.
That you can be so much less
Because another touched you
Implies that you were less anyway.
Picking up the pieces,
Trying to heal,
Realizing that nothing
was removed,
That it is perhaps better
To put together me
My own way.
