I FOUND MYSELF.

I found myself,At the bottom of a cold glass of water.Hydrating myself back to the path of healing.It felt so far, my eyes have never believed that I would reach it. I fell into a million pieces each and every day.Trying to find the right one.But there was never just one,I was a haystack, looking … More I FOUND MYSELF.

COME TO ME

Why won’t they come to. Not only have you forgotten me, I, have forgotten myself. So why have these words forgotten me too. I, have forgotten them. I have forgotten how to string them together. They refuse to speak for me. To me. When you see them, please tell them to come to me. I … More COME TO ME

PLEASE STAY.

I watch the love of my life sleep peacefully, with his right arm wrapped around our pretty little boy.Maybe now would be the perfect time to go. My husband Phil makes the best pancakes I’ve ever had. Okay, his are the only ones I’ve ever had.Our son, Thando, turns 2 today. I have absolutely no … More PLEASE STAY.
