My bed and I
have a nightly ritual,
an ongoing debate,
about life:
Life is meant
to be pondered
and lived,
he says.
All I want,
I slap back,
is sweet sleep.
He, of course,
is king,
and my mind,
unfortunately
silently protests,
unwilling
to stand ground.
Neither of us
is content
to concede
the quarrel
until the wee
morning hours.

Not to brag, or boast, or stroke my ego, but I know I will donate to education if I ever had a million dollars to give away because I already use my own money to supply classrooms with additional tools to engage students.

Words gave me life on a once barren page—Once hidden in the void, I was born,A character flawed with immature fears.Wide-eyed, ink-stained, seeking who sharesMy voice. Do I merit ears that might judge?Or do I evolve—could I truly transform? Alone, I wonder if others understand,Do my tales resonate or merely exposeConfusion? I shudder under weight…
The whispering
never stops.
It never
stops.
