I have been haunted by things/ I did not do/ but should have/ I was plagued by/chamomile/ the very thing/ I was promised/ could heal me/ and I have been tortured by potential.// The pastel ghosts/ came from me/ trying to give a face/ to my demons/  and evolved into/ a comfort unlike/ any other.// Similar to the/ sunflower girlies/ curling their hair/ pressing on their nails/ razor sharp/ and crying in their cars.// But do not worry/ we all grow from/ uncomfortable pasts/ and mistakes/ are great lessons.// Sometimes you just/ make your best friends/ in the most/ unlikely places/ and at the/ worst times.// There is still/ beauty/ here.// -M. Rene’

 

The pastel ghosts are a trend in my personal notebooks that bled into my latest chap book release: How Many Drafts to Home and if you don’t already have a copy you can find it on Amazon or www.sincerelybluejay.com
