Yoga Mat 

A bed of ocean

While I’m in motion

Soft bumps like an ocean wave

Giving me the smoothness I crave

You tell me to be careful

Thanks to you my workout’s wonderful

Your soft bumps hug my feet

Without you my workout is incomplete

I sit and weave threads of life,

Threads of hope, threads of strife.

Holding loved ones, soft yet tight,

Hiding away in shadowed fright.

Must you sit with eyes half-closed?

All alone and self-imposed,

Eyes stitched shut by comfort’s thread,

Waiting for your end instead?

Rarely do you question why,

Rarely do you question how,

Rarely do you look beyond–

Look beyond the here and now.

Fates woven o...

i am awake

unfortunately

i have seen the distress of civil unrest

and the despair of greed

i’m not sleeping

my insides lurch for community

“woke” is what i’m called

when i think people deserve food and shelter

i am no longer sleeping

this is all real

families are foodless and missing people

the world is burning

eggs are a luxury

and clean air not promised

i fear i have been aw...

Im awake.

I hear the lies out of your mouth.

I listen to your broken promises.

I roll my eyes the “I love yous” of the “I’m going to do better”

I’m awake.

The light is bright now that my rose colored glasses are off.

My eyes are burning from being blinded by the truth.

I’m awake....

Damn insomnia

New day starts at midnight, fool

Clock-in at Bluesky...

Shhh be quiet, no one cares, shut-up

You sound like a fool

You’re not good enough

But I have an idea

No, you don’t, it’s wrong

They’re better than you

You don’t belong

But I’ve tried and I’ve proved

I can do it I know

No you can’t, work harder, you don’t have enough to show

Look in the mirror

What do you see?

You should be ashamed

I know I would be

You’re not important

No one thinks of you at al...

Awakening is easy,

staying woke is hard.

Nobody ever talks about,

how life falls apart.

Missing your old life,

breaking the matrix,

becoming to aware,

to continue faking it.

Longing to be sleep again,

so much to take in.

One day life’s great,

the next it ends....

Awareness swarms

my numb body

This feeling is surreal

Awareness swarms

my body —

Begging to reveal —

Awareness swears it’s real —

Slowly opening my body

To all that’s really there.

Awakening —

Wrapping all

inside me.

Tensing

to realization

No more frames

of gold.

Like a mask slipping —

Spilling

the untold.

Cold nights

shift warm.

Slowly realizing —-

I had

I always wake up thinking I'm still dreaming... Hi I'm Rebecca and every day I feel like I'm dreaming. One day I woke up with this feeling that I wasn't actually awake. I felt tired still so I went back to sleep, but than I had a dream that I woke up. It freaked me out because in my dream I was wearing the exact same outfit I was wearing in real life, and I did the exact same routine as in real li...

I rubbed my eyes and felt confusion run over me like a wave

How can I still be so shocked?

I already know what happens next

Why am I here?

The same patterns and the same routine

How did this happen again?

I don’t want to be awake

Is it time?

Can I forgive me?...
