Everything crashes in, hard. Fast. I am overwhelmed by how powerful it is. The force so strong, knocks me off my feet, and washes over me. I am helpless. I don't try to fight it. I let it carry me.

It's hard to imagine the difference that one day could make. One single day, that could change a life forever. What you don't think about is how much is at stake.

Misunderstood (dedicated to my mother) I never understood the sacrifices you made, I never understood why I didn't get my own way. I never understood that a mother's love has boundaries, when all I wanted was for you to see things the way that I see. I never understood that no means no, I would get down on my knees and beg y...

The light is shining. So bright that I squint my eyes. My heart tells me to follow the light, and leave the dark behind. I walk through the gates, behind me a graveyard shadowed black. Toward the light, my destiny, not ever looking back. The cold has left my skin, the fear of death has gone. For I'm alive again,I've found my... More..
