Forced to Grow

Forced to Grow

A place, 
A single time,
a simple moment,
but not a place.
Definining her life,
leaving,
Not a trace.
Sweet young child,
A loss of innocence.
Abusive Minds,
Evil whits.
trembling and terrified,
left there alone,
bruised, and scarred
none to call home. 
Growing up,
not a hand.
A Stronger woman,
no need for a man.

Somethings you see with your eyes. Others, with your heart.

Fortune Cookies

Today I ate lunch with my mom at a Chinese resturant. As tradition goes, each person recieves a magical cookie at the end of the meal. Sometimes they are rediculous, sometimes fun, daydream worthy, others are inspirational and lead to the contemplation of the deeper meaning within them. I know these made me sit and think for a bit, and maybe, with a clear and open mind, you may recieve some intellect from these simple words.

  • The only good is knowledge and the only evil, ignorance.
  • The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
