Walls, they
divide
but we can always climb

How can you love
this restless woman child?
Stubborn, needy,
constantly changing,

but crying inside,
looking for strength
and running when I . . .

Melt into me
like the snow
during spring's thaw,
bringing to life
that which was frozen.
Envelop me
with the warmth of you,

I came to a realization recently that truly startled me. The more I surround myself with "crazy" people, the more at home I feel. And the more I think about it, which people are truly . . .

Racism is alive and well today. And my family and I have been a victim of it. Guilt by association.
