Often I ask
'what's there to write about?'
so now I'll ask back
'how's that #relevant?'
If I'm needing of theme
it'll come in a dream,
but the main thing I lack
is the self-esteem
to #gaslight myself
to think I'm good enough
to write even when
the words are sounding rough.

Impeachment isn’t an option, it’s a necessity. I know firsthand the lengths Trump is willing to go in order to silence dissent.

The waves grow higher
As I draw near
Fear swelling in my chest
As the ocean takes
A defensive position
As if the waters feel fear
I raise up my arms and
Promise no harm
Will come from me
The waves begin to calm
And return to the sea

The sidewinder gave me the #side-eye. Snakes don't have eyelids, so every stare carries unblinking judgment. The skunk gave me the stink-eye, though any eye from a skunk carries an implicit threat. The mystic called me "round-eye," which seemed less observation than accusation.
