wRITE to Heal Community

A childless mother’s pain is like no other,

Creating a constant stinging, ringing, lingering

In her heart, mind, and soul.

Leftover longing, wondering, yearning

To fill the void, mend the heart, and forget about

Her chest’s gaping hole.

Memory of the child she once held

And wants nothing more than to hold.

Yet arms unfold and there’s nothing there,

Breast left,

unclothed

and bare.

My writing journey began with journaling, taking my internal processing and putting pen to paper when external or verbal processing was not available. I created alternate worlds to explore and just be in, where life made sense in my mind and soul. As an inquisitive child, where an innocent and curious question could be used against you as defiance or trying to know it all, which was a bad thing when those guiding you didn’t have the answer; so I learned to keep to myself. My questions about life and beyond, how the world works, and why things are the way that they are often went unanswered. I turned to the pages within my journals, and although I didn’t know it then, free writing leads to a form of automatic writing and way to tap into and listen to source. This is a powerful tool! And the answers eventually came!

Poetry and playing with words artistically, with rhythms and rhymes, using voice fluctuations and creative expressions became a way to showcase my words and tell concise bits and pieces of my story—my pain to purpose journey of healing my way through life, and the path is forever evolving.

I share my life experiences because for so long I was told to “hush” and “we don’t talk about those things,” and asked, “why do you have to question everything?” as if wanting a deeper understanding for things was a bad thing. But it was, because it often brought out insecurities in others, so I stopped asking questions and turned to the pages of my journals to seek the answers on my own.

Writing is my way of talking about the things that need voice behind them so we ALL can learn to heal through all the pain and misunderstandings of the world. I choose to over-stand things because my brain is too beautiful to waste and writing, researching, and using my voice is my POWER!

Thank you for being along this journey!💜
