Eggshells

My voice feels so small

I try

To keep up with it all.

All these eggshells

I wish I could smash

Like the broken Liberty Bell.

I get so confused

by how I’m feeling

defeated and blue.

All I do is try

and I’m left

to sit and secretly cry.

I’m not perfect, I know

but I constantly

am picking myself up from being low.

I don’t understand

you and your anger

I can’t command

myself to be perfect.

I am 37 and a first time author. My book is currently in the process of being published. It will be released in Fall 2020. I am an avid advocate for mental health. I’m always sharing my struggles and breaking the stigma. I am married to my husband Beau and I have an extraordinary son named Jasper, who is 10 years old. I miss living in Denver and being by the magickal mountains. I also love the ocean and living in a big city. Currently I live in western rural Minnesota where I am originally from. Life is wild.

One thought on “Eggshells

  1. We are full of flaws as we are humans
    we can’t demand ourselves to be perfect
    what we should try is some improvement
    and manage to work it like a life project
    you could feel very down and depressed
    broken like your soul has been wrecked
    try the best to have small victories daily
    against depression will have a great effect.
