Why doctor offices schedule out procedure appointments 3 to 4 weeks out is beyond me.

I carried more than flesh,
I carried years —
of hiding behind laughter,
of shrinking dreams,
of mirrors turned to walls.

A choice was not surrender,
but a quiet kind of war —
a promise whispered to myself:
I will not live half-lived anymore.

The surgeon’s light became a dawn,
steel and skill meeting faith and fear.
In that room,
my body became a story rewritten —
a second birth through pain and healing tears.

Each sip, each step,
a prayer in motion.
Scars, small as commas,
but they pause my past —
not end it.

Now I watch my reflection
not as an enemy,
but as a traveler
learning the shape of freedom,
the weight of becoming light.

And in this new skin,
I learn again:
the body was never the cage —
only the beginning
of flight.

don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years. Face up, take a stand and realize you’re living in those golden years.

COURAGE OVER COMFORT
A tiny seed, safe in its shell,
Feared the harsh sun, the wind's cold swell.
But deeper ache, within its core,
Ached to blossom, to be something more.
So it pushed the earth, and stretched towards light,
Chose courage over comfort, and took flight.
