Choices

‎"There are two primary choices in life: to accept conditions as they exist, or accept the responsibility for changing them." ~Denis Waitley

Redemption

A good daddy

Fixes the whole world

For one person.

What more could we hope to do?

Defining

"If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." - Audre Lorde

Loneliness is dull and gray

Except for when it's bright and hot.

And tears burn cheeks

'Til angry furrows form.

And loneliness meets anger,

And sadness feels left out.
