What You Can't See
I live with chronic pain, with constant familiar tendrils of things I wish medication or ice could tame. It has marked my days for so long that my memory cannot pull forth one of silence from the cursed sting. And, oh how my heart wishes it could know the gentle touch of feeling nothing.

Spaniel's Weather
We went camping once in the cold of January at Devil's Den Park. Just my husband, myself, and our cocker spaniel, Sage. We had visited previously and were eager for a chance to return before my PTO expired. Camping with a dog can be a hefty endeavor, but it never is with Sage. She is one of the few perfect creatures in the world with a quiet demeanor and obedient heart.

Facing the World
*This poem was written when I was a child and due to the heavy nature of it, I feel needs further explanation. While it can easily sound like a contemplation of death, it was not. Rather, it was how I felt looking out at the world as I got closer to 18 and moving out. I was at a pivotal point in life where I would have to decide to leave home and the abusive household I had grown up in. It was scary and difficult because I did not know if I would succeed or not, yet it was a path I knew I must pursue.*
