Festivus Yule

The winter solstice,
the shortest day of the year.

Give thanks for family and friends.
Give thanks for the bountiful feast that nourishes our bodies.

It's a time for warmth,
for love,
for peace.

Cheers to you and yours from me and mine

Silk stockings adorned with bows

You said you were in the dark
And that you felt alone

I'm glad you're here

You told me how you wanted to end it
You told me that you were afraid

I'm glad you're here

Something inside you reached out
Something begged you to stay

I'm glad you're here

Gods am I glad you're here

I'm a witch
I cast spells
I read tarot
I commune with my deities

I'm a witch
I'm not evil
I don't commune with the devil
I'm a healer and a protector

I'm a witch
I look after my own
I don't make anything baneful
Unless you give me a reason

Do not give me a reason

"My pet."
He says stern and low.
She looks into his dark hollow eyes, silent with heightened breath.
"Who do you belong to?"
"Only you..."
"Who do you serve?"
"Only you!"
"Anyone else?"
"Never! My fealty is to you. My heart, my mind, and my soul... all belong to you!"
"Good girl."

A Writer's Curse

Head full of ideas

Notebooks filled with rough drafts

Lines and lines written and mapped out

Damned hands are too cold to type any of it!

Dear past self

I see you questioning your life
You cried to sleep every night fearing the worst when you left
You lost sleep worrying about the consequences

I wish I could tell you we made it
Tell you what happens next

But I won't

We can't be who we are now if we don't go through it then

I did it
I wanted to give up
I wanted to throw in the towel
I wanted to stop

But I did it

It broke me
It made me cry
It had me frozen in place

But I did it

My back was aching
Rage was building
Guilt was spreading

But I did it

It needed to be done for so long

I did it

I may not know you
I may not know your story
I may not know the darkness that you have in your heart

But I see you
I feel the same darkness

I can sit in it with you as long as it takes

The fact that you let me sit with you

The fact you're still going
I'm proud of you

My home

My home is my peace

My home is where I curl up and rest after a stressful day

My home is where I laugh,
Where I cry
My home is where I love

My home is not my house
My home is not my things

My home is you, my love

Welcome home 💜

I am a writer

I'm not published
I'm not famous
I don't have notoriety
I'm only known in my small circles

I'm still a writer

I write everything every minute of everyday

I eat sleep and breathe
My stories
My characters
My poems

I am a writer and I will be until the end

Buzzed this weekend
It's been a really long week

I know I need rest

But I want to sit with the Void

We sit and have a long chat

We're not best friends
We're not really close

Just mutuals sharing drinks and playing catch-up

We talk til the morning
Then I finally go to sleep

⚜️One month⚜️

A month of no appetite
A month of lost sleep
A month of anxiety
A month of failure
A month of stress
A month of chaos
A month of anger
A month of fear
and then finally

Peace

Hyper aware
Hyper focused

ADHD picks up on everything

Every sight
Every sound

From the forever drip of a faucet
To the squeaky rotation of a 5 year old fan blade

We hear it all
We notice it all

It all fucking sucks

Dear [Name Redacted]
I remember how you used to bully me

I was happy
With lots of friends

You didn’t like that

Did it feel good smacking my glasses off my face?

Was I a good distraction from your dad beating you at home?

I'm not afraid of you [REDACTED]

You know I know everything

I cried tonight

My 8 year old asked me to read to her

I got to read this time

It's a rare treat

She's an amazing reader
So it's always the opposite

I read her chapter after chapter

And watched her slowly drift

I read a few more pages while she fell asleep in my arms

It's not stupid if it works

It's not stupid if it helps you do your tasks

It's not stupid if it gives you the ability to function

It's not stupid because someone says it is

It's not stupid if it keeps you sane

It's not stupid if it goes against societal norms

It's not stupid

Finally it's October 1st

My favorite month

The weather begins to cool

The leaves crunch under my boots when I walk down to the bus stop

I get to celebrate fourteen years of marriage on Halloween

Everyday will be a treasure
And I will enjoy it while it lasts.
