Old Notebooks

I used to purchase expensive notebooks with thick pages soft to the touch smelling of trees and leather I’d sit with my pen and thoughts scribing my pain and progress Deep lines etching canals on the paper as deep as my soul Now I type strange sentences on a cold, hard device remembering those notebooks hidden beside my bed ContinueContinue reading “Old Notebooks”

My inner child looks back over a freckle-covered shoulder She had different dreams than this  she bought into a lie she never knew existed TheContinueContinue reading “What Day Is It? (with audio)”
