Vapours of pattern, diluting in exhalation, twisting familiarity of my history, I made ‘it just is’, I am worthy of awaking, shedding

I’m older now, child parts, inside

poetry notes

Swallow my shame, diary of poem, I’m always to blame

My brain’s fight, writing like speaking Taking Looking back, the now There is more than this..

therapy, trauma Tara, hurt Corkscrew of care Making twisted out of genuine It’s heartbreaking It’s a mystery to me why you’re there

inner kittens

Things shouldn’t be the way they were, just because they’ve always been, trauma, doesn’t make sense, change, move forward, growth

My heart was worn Strings plucked and diced But, I was holding on Clinging to mights. Tarastar

Emergency alert You are fabulous and always will be A world without you in it would be a sadder place. You are a weeping willow’s...

It’s OK not to be OK, you don’t always need to hide your pain, Tolerate It - inspired spoken word

barriers to medical treatment, out of joint, discombobulated, hurt, alone, isolating myself, independence, self-sufficiency

spoken word draft, just me reading a poem

Just about surviving, insulation old ads, soft squishy padded

not feeling comfortable in my body, glass houses, all kittens and unicorns, people aren’t what you believe, tara star poetry, ice dancers

Different spaces in my life, no flow, don’t make me drop it, won’t let go, would’ve, should’ve raw

You bend and you flow
