The Changing
Through those gates she strode, full of fire and wonder. Through those gates of iron and stone, and all the world asunder. Alone she stood. Alone she cast. Alone she broke the silence. The cannonade, the deadly rain, began. They'd thought her...
Poem: Being Seen
Not being seen, by others. Not being seen, alone. Not being seen, forever. Not being seen, alone. Not being seen, I worry. Not being seen, I tear. Not being seen, forever. Not being seen, I bear. Not being seen, it kills me. Not being...
Poem: Lifemates
Death and I are companions rowing e're forward with sticks; Death and I are companions from the my smile to his shining white lips. From my legs, chilled to bone, soaked in cavernous lake, to my arms that are weary and sore, We row opposite...
Poem: The Floor
Written on and trod on and walked on and stepped, Crying for all the wrong reasons. Collapsing and crushing and weeping and wept, Stepped on for all the wrong reasons. Because we can't stand up for ourselves. Because we can't defend... We're...

Being afraid, all the time, Being afraid, forever, Being afraid, in your mind, and labelled "disturbed" forever. Being unseen, and being afraid, and being forever lost, We need each other; we need ourselves to cope with darkest...
Poem: The Sea

Why We Care
