Napowrimo 2021

Napowrimo 2021. Day 30. Off topic. NaPoWriMo 2021 Every year it comes along,Ive been at it for eight years.Usually I stick to the topics,Seeing it a challenge to face my fears. Sometimes the structured stuff,Can make me a complete wreck.Because of my dyslexic brain,Some things I just don’t get. I do not see myself as…

Please Don’t

Napowrimo 2021. Day 29. Off topic. Please Don’t Please don’t stop and stare at me,Please don’t talk in whispered tones.I know you think you know my story,You barely know the bones. Please don’t pity me,Or make judgemental views.I know what I have fought,I don’t want to be your news. Please treat me normally,Don’t make me…

Falling into The Rabbit Hole

Napowrimo 2021. Day 28. Off topic. Trigger Warning. Mental illness. Falling into The Rabbit Hole I fell into a rabbit hole,Lost myself inside.I feared what I would face in there,From myself I couldn’t hide. Within I had to face my demons,Look them in the eyes.They whispered sinister things,Made me believe their lies. I found myself…

Parent and Child

Napowrimo 2021. Day 27. Off topic. Parent and Child Give me time,To learn and grow.Give me ears,To listen to my words.Give me comfort,When I need it.Give me empathy,When I want you to understand.Give me a teacher,So I can learn.Give me a nurse,When I am bruised.Give me strength,When I feel broken.Give me wisdom,To help my future.Give…

A Day Out

Napowrimo 2021. Day 26. Off topic again. A Day Out Chatting in the car,Taking in the views.Avoiding the jams,We’re on a road trip. Arriving far away,Stretching legs.Sunshining brightly,Today’s a good day. Having a laugh together,Talking over food.Watching the little ones smile,Feeling a warmth within. Last of the sun on the beach,Collecting shells and pebbles.Enjoying time…

Beaches of Terror

Napowrimo 2021. Day 25. Off topic. Trigger Warning. Violence, acts of terror and death. Beaches of Terror The river runs red,Innocence has fallen.Leaving piles of dead,Bodies on the land.Vacant expression,Their eyes engrained in sand. Couples lay on loungers,Blood stained towels.Hands cupped as they encounter,The last moments of their lives.Screams of terror echo deep,Will anyone survive?Be…

Mashed Potato Grief

Napowrimo 2021. Day 22. Mashed Potato Grief Today I cried over mash potatoes,They made me really sad.I simply couldn’t mash them,Because my carpal tunnels so bad. It’s not about the mash potatoes,But what they represent.Another thing my disabilities taken,That, I do resent. I grieve for the things,I used to be able to do.My body let’s…

About Me

Napowrimo 2021. Day 21. Today’s prompt is to write a repetitive type poem. About Me I am a wife, daughter, mother,I am a granddaughter, cousin and sister to three brothers.I am a friend, an aquantance, a leader,I am a listener, a poet and a dreamer. I am empath, a worrier, a pain,I am a contradiction…
