Mirrors lie when they shinea reflection of a truththat's hard to swallow.Never could see myselflike others see me.Somehow my viewseems to be through the closed eyesof one who will never knowwhat real beauty is.Real beauty?Smiles cry when they shelterpain too rich to be swallowedwhole. Minced expectations still large enough to choke on.Never felt the thicknessof confidenceon my tongue. Wrapping

Well, here it is! In thirty days I will be turning 40 years old! I can hardly believe how quickly time has flown. I really wanted to do something special to mark the days leading up to such a significant event. Since poetry has been a love of mine since elementary school, I thought it would be cool to write a poem each of those 30 days leading up to the big one. My goal is for the poems to

I heard something pretty interesting while watching the news this week.

I have been a part of the Facebook community for a while now and one of the features I discovered rather recently was the option to write and post a note.

I have only posted a couple of them, but I got great feedback on them and decided to
