Break the chain
Sever the tie
Rip the cord
Separate the link
Crush the union
Snap the grasp
Free the shackle
Demolish the connection
Disintegrate the bond
Cut the restraint
Fracture the grip
Bust the hold
Tear the binding
Shatter the attachment
Escape the torment

I write to…
Explore hidden realms beyond my reach
I write to…
See the universe in a different light
I write to…
Free myself from the confines of this world
I write to…
Hear my imagination think
I write to…
Escape to other dimensions in time
I write to…
Empower my introverted side
I write to…
Give my soul a much needed rest
I write to…
Pretend that I am someone I’m not
I write to…
Become a happier self
I write to…
Share my innermost thoughts and emotions
I write to…
Give hope to the hopeless
I write to…
Allow myself a few moments of weakness
I write to…
Make people laugh and cry
I write to…
Challenge myself in numerous ways
I write to…
Reach out to the brokenhearted
I write to…
Be daring and free from the chains that imprison me
I write to…
Create stories that I can call my very own
I write to…
Bring creativity into existence
I write to…
Have adventures that would otherwise never take place
I write to…
Acknowledge all that is good and true
I write to…
Perfect my hidden talents and abilities
I write to…
Show myself that I am worth so much more than I think that I am
I write to…
Find comfort in a place that I didn’t even know existed
I write because…
I am a writer.

True Friends are…
True friends are forever praying
True friends are always there waiting
True friends speak truth and are never faking
True friends love you when your heart is aching
True friends show up when your world is quaking
True friends have you on their mind upon waking
True friends hold your hand when you’re shaking
True friends tell you that you’re amazing
True friends give instead of taking
True friends are never berating
True friends know when your heart is breaking
True friends sit by your side when you feel yourself fading
True friends are there no matter what you’re facing

Several long months had passed
Since she’d been held
By her faithful master
She greatly missed
The way his warm hand curved
Around her well-worn body
Sections of her once shiny exterior
Had long ago lost their luster
And now began to flake and peel
His familiar rugged fingerprints
Still appeared in the places
Where she’d been gripped the tightest
Each spot a permanent reminder
Of the intensity in which he wrote
And the passion which he radiated
She continued to ache
For his ever loving touch
And dreamt of his timely return
But she soon came to realize
She was no match for her masters new blond #2
That fair young lady had the bite marks to prove it

Scattered haphazardly
Filling the great expanse
Lies infinite buckets of wishes
Created carefully in advance
Each one brims to overflowing
Radiating iridescent dreams
And pools of liquid star dust
Gush out between the seams
These shimmering streams of magic
Mesmerizingly cascade
Throughout the mighty caverns
Searching for crevices to invade
It’s a curious sight to observe
A spectacle most will never behold
And some believe it a mere fabrication
Because they trust what they’ve always been told
After witnessing such an extraordinary scene
And watching moonbeams slosh upon the floor
I can honestly tell you without a doubt
This bizarre place really isn’t folklore
So I invite you to come and take a glimpse
Into this world of whimsy and fun
Come fly with me to the moon and back
The merriment just can’t be outdone!
