Having a hard day today. Our place of business is closing, I haven’t found a job, I’m very insecure about everything. I’m feeling like a failure. A fat failure. My books aren’t selling, Pampered Chef has come to a halt. Everybody would be better off without me..

Woman to woman,Blood to blood.A teacherBy my side. Guardian Angel’s,Whispering,The purestWords of wisdom. I hear you,I feel,Your protection,I see your vision. My muse,Guiding meTo positivity,Showing me the light. Distance,Between us.Roads, lakes, rivers.Heart strings attached. Little blessingsThroughout the day.LessonsBeing taught. Thank you my sisters,For guidingAnd showingMe the right way. ~Carrie Labiak ~

In a roomFull of family,But I’m notVisible,I’m transparent. Muffled voices,Loud chatter,Not a wordTo understand. Here to show Sympathy,Sorrow.Only feeling DespairEmptiness. You wander offTalking,Reminiscing,Speaking of a timeBefore me. I sit,I wait,Wondering whatI mean to you. Anything? Love?What does it matter?We all die in the end. ~Carrie Labiak ~

DrapedIn layers ofCloth. HeadLoweredAs not to be seen. NothingIs whatIm worth. I dontLike myself,Even just a little. I justExistTo die alone. ~Carrie Labiak ~

Not a poem Who am I trying to kid. No one is going to buy my books, I’m not going to make it as a Pampered Chef seller, I’m not good at my job. What am I doing? Wasting space.

I died,Crushed from the inside.My heart,Cold, blackened. Emotionless,Empty, a mere mass.Lost,With no where to go. My heart was torn apart,Ripped from my life,My existence,Gone. Being told I was nothingFor so long,I believed it,I knew I wouldn’t amount to anything. Dumb,Stupid,Worthless,A coward. I didnt know how to fight.I just knew anger,Hate,Bitterness. I screamed in silenceFor soContinue reading “Reborn”

The fightTo get high,To end it all,The fightFor your freedom. One more dayOf your preciousLife,A breath of airIn your lungs,A sacred beatOf your tired heart. Your symbol,To keep going,With just aContinue reading “Coins”

I started this page in hopes to get more poetry done. I just keep forgetting to post here!! So I’m going to dump a few today and tomorrow 🙃!!

Out of place,Contagious,Dirty,Unwanted. Places I’d go,Not a wordTo me,Ignored. Go to school,Get laughed at,Picked on,Bullied. What was said,BehindClosed doors,When I wasn’t around. I played tough,I was pittied,A nuisance,A problem. I spit vulgar,Hate,Say thingsYou want to hear. Just for youTo like me,I was soEnvious,Jealous,Drawn to your normal. I would have doneAnything,To be like you.The talent,Beauty,Knowledge. IContinue reading “Accepted”
