It’s a choice only we can make.
Feelings are fleeting—fickle.
Fate is for the mystical.
Letting love pass is the biggest mistake.
Talking it out,
beating around
what we’re fighting about,
doubt sets in.
Patience runs thin.
You crack your neck,
my face strains—
Uncertain.
Silence drops like a pin.
Lighting strikes the chest.
What shoe drops next?
You reel in my stream
of catastrophes.
“Don’t panic, we’re a team.”

The world as she experiences it is her inspiration, and her love of personal flair fuels her style. She doesn’t think she’s to write the next great American novel, but she’s to write something. Stay curious.
