“All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own.”

— Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe

Finding Meaning in Suffering

I Searched

And I Searched.

Submerged in suffering

I drowned ever more,

With every passing effort to defuse the agony.

U.M.B. 6/13/21 U.M.B. 6/13/21

Unapologetically Me

Why should I apologize

For who I am,

Or who I’ve become,

Or what I’m becoming?

U.M.B. 3/16/21 U.M.B. 3/16/21

Tell me-

The last time you felt fear,

Where did you feel it?

Did you feel it in your chest?

U.M.B. 3/16/21 U.M.B. 3/16/21

SCREAM

So loud, that your voice travels to the Yukon Valley

For the pain is real,

And no one can tell you otherwise, how to feel

U.M.B. 3/11/19 U.M.B. 3/11/19

I pray with you

My comrade in arms

To have the courage to fight today

The next day
