Bigger and growing
I can’t get this quote out of my head “You don’t know me any more…. I put my pieces back together in a different order.” I don’t know who said it… but I have it in mind as I write… I had a plan, and this wasn’t it. I am not where I thought IContinue reading “Bigger and growing”
More beautiful than ugly
A couple of weeks ago I shared some of my piece “A Million Pieces of Ugly.” Here is a little more of it. I love everyone, but I don’t have many people in my close circle. I am a quite the recluse at times. Those that are in my circle, are precious. They are toContinue reading “More beautiful than ugly”
Nothing in this World
I want to start ripples and be gentle yet powerful like a cloud that can block the sun… Let us have our call to make change satisfied. Let us end the nothingness that so many women endure under the shadow of patriarchal oppression. Be born again. Be the stone. Be the cloud. Be the unexpectedContinue reading “Nothing in this World”
A million shades of ugly
I took this from my piece “A Million Pieces of Ugly.” Written for a dear friend, who has been a rock… and also a lone island. I think he is one of the most beautiful people in my life. He has also shown me some of the ugliest parts of myself. I believe that itContinue reading “A million shades of ugly”
After these years
“My life, my dreams are askew After these years and layers of hurt… …I just want a moment not to feel.” I didn’t write this poem about politics, or change – even though the current state of Australia does make me wish I could not feel. It was an expression of the way I feltContinue reading “After these years”
Needing something to change
I need somethings in my life to change… I think we all do. Wanting a change, knowing we need a change and being able to make the change are not however always the same thing. Maybe the thing you need to change is outside of your control, maybe it is a systemic or structural changeContinue reading “Needing something to change”
Vote One: Fairies and Elves
Dear Mr Morrison Bruh, I live in Australia. I did not vote for you. I do however abide by laws etc…. and I am basically waiting for you to be an awkward conversation in our history text books. I think the chapter would be called ‘Australian Prime Ministers who wanted to make Trump look lessContinue reading “Vote One: Fairies and Elves”
No wrong way…
As with all my work – I cannot claim to speak for everyone… this is what I have seen, felt and learned through my life and experiences. I believe that survivors of trauma, assault and abuse are often told or led to believe that there is a “correct” way in which we must present andContinue reading “No wrong way…”
Your Soul
When good friends are torn apart by the deliberate, pre-meditated and hurtful actions of another – it is a tragedy. It is not fair and it hurts. It is like seeing a pod of majestic whales suffering and drying after becoming stranded on the shore. A loss felt by many, which cannot be mended. WhenContinue reading “Your Soul”
