I remember when I use to live and breath only to write and paint. Everything was art to me. I miss that.
So, I've decided that I really want to get back to being me.
I've been feeling very inspired by many people and places and I truly feel that I have reached a turning point in my life where I don't have to settle anymore. I feel like I have cut myself short from reaching my true potential, and well.... I'm over it.
Here is poem that I randomly decided to write. It's hot off the press. I think I would like to call it A Thousand Words. I painted a small picture of my self and you know what they say...
A Thousand Words
I am a tree, that sun flower reminds me of me, but I also have wings, and my ears can scream.I relate to my cat, she knows where it’s at, she wants to be near only when she’s near, and that’s the end of that.
I sing really loud but without any sound, I only dance when no one else is around, and often wonder what it’s like to be the ground.
I whither after I grow, have nowhere to go, but I never let it show.
My face is cracked, but no one asks who is that girl behind the mask?
I am a tree, that sun flower reminds me of me, but I also have wings, and my ears can scream.
I really like it. : )
I think I should probably go to sleep now. This is the first night in a while that I have gone to bed really happy.
Goodnight!

I really like the poem! And I've missed you on here, I'm so glad you are back! :)
Ahhh my bestest friend...I miss poetry days. I was reading a book by G.K. Chesterton for one of my classes called Orthodoxy and it reminds me so much of us-he talks about only those who don't sit and dream & only those who don't write poetry truly go mad...so don't go mad and don't get away from yourself! I love you and I'm really excited about this journey you are on! I miss you more than I can type in this short comment box...
Brittany that is a beautiful poem! I never knew you had this talent.

Glad you're back Miss Marie! I've missed you. I love your poem. I actually thought about how nicely it would translate into ASL. Maybe I'll interpret it sometime.... Anyway, love you and glad you're back! :)
