I didn't get any writing done today. I try to write #poetry every day, but I don't force it. I'm going to have some tea, read a bit, and get some sleep. #PoetryWithDonnie #indiepoet

I wrote a poem today. It had been a couple of weeks and my brain was starting to itch. I feel a little better now. #poetry #PoetryWithDonnie #indiepoet

I did not give past me permission to assault my feelings like this while I flipped through my old song binder

The Mirror Lies

When I look in the mirror do you know what I see?
A face that is mine and yet not the real me
I stand there for hours, thoughts running through my mind 
And I can't stop this feeling that's building up inside, I start to cry

Will there ever be a day when I wake up and open my eyes
Look down and see that I've become who I'm supposed to be 
My heart can't break forever, there's only so many pieces left 
Seems like with every step I take forward, I fall another ten back

Will I ever reach the peak of this mountain I'm climbing?
Will I ever get to see the other side?
A million questions every time I look at my reflection
Just wanna break through and disperse this illusional life
Because the mirror lies

When I take a deep breath and close my eyes
I escape to a world where I can freely fly
I soar through the skies never once afraid of falling

#ThrowbackThursday, here's another poem from my early days. "Contradiction" was first published in Broken Images over 25 years ago. If you like this one, the collection is available on amazon. #poetry #PoetryWithDonnie #indiepoet

Why was I not made of stone instead?

How it started vs How it ended

Completely sold out of my book of queer poetry at the Carroll Book Festival this weekend with fellow author @sillauthor.bsky.social

Thank you all for making this weekend a dream come true!

Anyone looking for #poetry? I post poetry all the time. #PoetryWithDonnie #poetrycommunity #indiepoet

Some poems stay with you.

“Mythical Beauty” was published in Broken Images over 25 years ago, and somehow, still speaks to me.

If you’ve read it and it stayed with you too, tell me. And if you haven’t, check it out here. What do you think?
