Unique is what I wish for. Plain is what I am. Tolerance is what I pray for. Ignorance is all I receive. Love is all I deserve. Love is all I’ll accept.

I used to relish sleeping late, staying up even later, and having my freedom to do whatever I desired. Since you have come from me though, my life has changed. I must get up early, go to bed early and do your bidding… always. I love having the opportunity of taking a break, but then I get sad. I am sad you are not here to hug me, kiss me, command me, cry to me and talk to me. 24 hours has never seemed longer, than when you are not by my side. My daughter, you have changed my life and I am so glad you have. You are the brightest part of my soul, and the only part of me that matters. #amotherslove #myeffie

When the pink becomes purple, followed by the twinkling black, I fear that light may never return. Time drips away like a melting icicle, and yet I can not see the the promise of warmth. The mystery of the darkness threaten to abduct my gaiety for all time. I may give up on everything. As I exhale the last of my hope, Dawn’s glow nudges the dark hue. My eyes sting in disbelief while witnessing the Dawn I have almost forgotten. I hold my breath as Dawn transforms into the illuminating, consuming light that I recognize throughout my soul. It is always darkest before the Dawn.

Paddling through my thoughts like a beginner. Treading through them just enough to stay afloat. Sputtering and choking on my brain’s turbulent rapids. All I want is to lie back and float through my stream of conciousness, but instead I am on the verge of drowning. Drowning on the flood of my existence. .
