Reinvent Myself

Posted on November 8, 2022November 8, 2022 by Erin B.
A lost mind, locked inside
cracking with emotion.
I've tried living freely,
that's simply not me.
I can't reinvent myself.

Reality Of Life

Posted on June 10, 2022August 2, 2022 by Erin B.

and I found that
a change
had taken place within me.
My spirits rose, eradicating the remains
of melancholy.
