Dina

I'm having
To recognize
That growth
Is not
Always
Welcome
By self
Or others
I'm having
To trust
God
In spite
Of the
Doubt
That is within
My heart
I am
Reminded
Of my abuelita
And how
She rose
To every occasion
I dismissed your wisdom
You loved me
In a way
I couldn't understand
I put blinders up
I regret it now
I am you
I see
My soul rejoices
Because I got
To call you mine

Message

In my last post, someone asked if I was alright. I'm not. I'm writing to get it out. I'm refraining from making comment because none of it is kind, necessary and will hurt people. I don't have pure motives. Nothing about this is Christlike. It is not lost on me how much hope and affirmation, you all give me. I'm grateful and humbled by your love for me. I'm usually not at a loss for words, I am in this moment. So I will continue to write. Thank you for everything.  In six years, you have continued to be my cheerleaders, and I'm blessed. Thank you for caring enough to ask about me. If I honest, could you oblige me with your prayers.
Humbly,
Regine

Hammer

I asked
You to
Save me
From the
Face staring
Back at me
It was
My own

boom

the space
i leave
open for you
my heart
has expanded
kindness
a smile
changes mood
faster than
sonic boom

Storm

Tell me
The stories
The storms
That makes you
Sit
Smile
And take
You back
To a time
When what is seen
Now
Wasn't possible before

Thoughts

I'm scared
Going to
A place
I've haven't
Been in
In over
A decade
I'm panicked
Shaky
And unsure
Thinking is
In overdrive
The what ifs
Are plaguing me

😄

It’s Friday
Warming up
Greeting
The sunshine
With a smile
On my face
