Sometimes
You have to sit
Inside it
Let it linger
And marinate,
Simmer
And sizzle
Around the edges,
The only way
To heal
Is to let yourself
Feel it
Smell it
Devour it whole
And then purge
The bones

I am growing so much in this last year that unfortunately the moments of struggle are far more prevalent in my mind. Because growth hurts and it typically occurs within battles and periods of pain and suffering. It is within discomfort that true growth takes place. I want to become comfortable with discomfort. I want to wake up and seize the day regardless of feeling discomfort. And I want to do it with a smile. This is where the spurts occur. This is where I grow so tall that I can see above the mountain. I can see the fruits upon the hills. They are ripe and fresh and they wait for me.

Red lights
Tend to reset
My racing mind
As it rushes
Through existence,
I am learning,
Profoundly expanding
With each step,
Superstitions have me
Stepping over cracks
In the cement
And as new life grows
Through fissures
I fill with hope
For the rain may come,
But the sky will catch fire
And I’ll admire
Blossoms upon
The branches again,
I’ll admire how
I continue to bloom
Through all precipitation
Michelle Lee -
Oh, Phoenix
Of the ashes
Rest your head
Upon the debris
Of an old life
For a new one
Has emerged
And you will
Truly soar
Into the sky,
Be patient soul
Take in the sight,
For this flight
Is divine

I am grateful for
Late morning bathing
When the sun shines
Perfectly through
The tiny window
In my shower,
Healah Dancing
Carries on gracefully
In the background
And I slow dance
With the sun,
With the breeze,
Hold hands with
The scent of the sea
That creeps between
The open crack
Of the tiny window
In my shower

Shit can get dark,
Silence is just
Another word
For pain,
I chase butterflies
And they remind me
To come up for air
As I slay demons
Down under the sea,
I’ve come so far
You see,
I’m almost free,
It feels like
I’m almost there,
Almost me,
Again

Life is really
Just about getting
Out of your head
Most days,
No questions
Of what’s next
And who really cares
Because you are here,
You are here, now
As the October wind
Cleanses dull skin
Reviving weak spirits
Just let go and heal,
The leaf falls,
But another will grow,
So stare at the sky
For some time,
Feel the shower water
Trickle down your spine
Along with pain
Into the drain,
Just let go and heal

This is my journey
And no one else’s,
I may walk with others,
But I am alone
In a world within
Where I tame monsters
With self-love,
Starving them of
Undivided attention
And my own sanity,
As they sleep
I place one foot
In front of the other
In pursuit of escape,
Never do I plant
Two feet for long,
But I walk the path
Where the soil is rich
And blessed with
Abundant sunlight
So I’ve grown taller
And now I can see
Over the mountain,
This is my journey
And no one else’s

Supernova me,
A stellar explosion
Into massive evolution
As I illuminate the sky,
Oh, astronomical soul
Powerful is she,
Bleeding cosmic rays
She collapses into herself,
Forged and born again
This is not the end,
But the blazing rebirth

And so they say
Don’t live in the past,
But reminiscing
Is exactly what
I’ve been missing,
A fire burned wildly
Far inside of me
Not that long ago
And this nostalgia
May instigate a tear,
But I can assure you
I’m smiling ear to ear
Because far inside of me
I can feel the intensity,
She’s still there
After all this time
