Allow Myself To…. Introduce Myself

/ Alysia / 1 Comment

I know this has been a long time coming. For those of you who have been with me from the beginning I sincerely appreciate your patience and continued support of this blog. As I have talked about for what seems like and what has become years I do in fact plan on self-publishing a novel in the immediate future.

 
While I am not certain of it, at some point, I have to show my first attempt to the world and I feel like it is very much something I can be proud of and will look back at fondly. I still intend to keep this particular site as my online writing space to share my thoughts, inspirations, interactions, poems etc. With that in mind I have started the process of a second page.

This new page will be dedicated to my published writing and any other opportunities that may come along. I would be greatly appreciative of your support on this new page. You all have been with me from the beginning and I hope that many of you will read and give me your feedback on the novel. Details will be coming soon, anticipation can be great 🙂

Without further ado, see below for the new blog:

I look forward to sharing this new adventure with you- my readers, my fellow writers and my cohorts in the blogging world.

Cracked

I reflect what I want you to see in me.
A pillar of strength, unshakable by the strongest of earthquakes.

I pretend that every sliver that’s chipped away is nothing but a superficial chink in my armor.

The tears fall one by one, subtlety enough that you only see me with clear eyes.

It’s not your fault I claw so desperately to the cliff knowing that this time the fall would be too much.

All of it has become too much.

I will have to accept that, my greatest fear is to accept that.

Would you accept me?

I learned long, long ago but I can’t help myself.

I pretend regret won’t matter but it is going to be my only emotion tomorrow.

Too much fun, together we are perfect in the moment.

The next moment has no guarantee.

Will I ever outgrow it? Do I want to outgrow it?

Some things are good to keep youthful.

April Showers

They Say-

They said it then,

they say it now,

that April showers bring May Flowers.

Said with such optimism and hope but

if you think about it,

it’s quite the battle of wills.

Nature versus nature.

They need each other to thrive but

the balance is tenuous at best.

There is a special type of beauty to be found in survival.

I hate to make assumptions but how can I not?

Looks can be deceiving but how should I know it ain’t the truth?

There’s no substance or at least it’s been hidden from me.

But not you, she shows you whatever you want.

Foolish perspective from both of us.

I can’t stop, I won’t stop my anger, it has to flow.

What will I do?

Forget.
