Hey everyone. I know that it has been a long time since my last post. But here I am back again after a three month break. A lot has been happening. I am going to dive back in. As a person and as a writer I love working by myself. It is nice to have solitude and do things on your own, but there is power in working together with other people. That is what this post is all about. It is about collaboration and working together. I am going to dive right into my first and only quote for this post. Mattie Stepanek says “Unity is strength… when there is teamwork and collaboration, wonderful things can be achieved.” In other words, there is so many wonderful things that happens when people work together. It is a truly magical experience. The following poem is one that I wrote with a fellow writer on Deep Underground Poetry and we won first place. I hope you enjoy!
With Renewed Strength (Written with Verdonna)
And what could I say
That wasn’t already said
Swallowing the words
Come back to me, but it is
Too late as you left me here
Broken in pieces
Unable to recover
Mortally wounded
I was not the same person
You once knew and could control
I outgrew your hold
and I attempt to patch work
myself whole again.
You will never break me down
As I will come back swinging
Landing blow by blow
Crushing you under my fist
Feel the rage I felt
I will cut you down as you
Have become my enemy.
