Prison of Lyme• Show poetry

I am a 26 yr. old woman who has just found the man of my dreams. I am also a former cosmetologist, who has just obtained an associates in criminal justice. I have recently been diagnosed with lyme disease and am battling the many symptoms on a day to day basis. I have some good friends who have helped me along the way, and I make sure they all know I see and appreciate their love and support. If you read my poetry you will see my naked soul. I write how I feel at the moment like most you, but I have a lot of pain that has followed me for yrs. so this is another thing for me to do to cope with my illnesses. This is fairly new to me still, so places be fair with the constructive criticism.

(Think2wice) from school introduced me to this as an outlet for my struggles w/ mental illness. She put up ~ "IMPERFECTIONS"~- my first poem, for me on her page, & anonymously so we could see if it was a go. Today I am an ALL POETRY junkie now!lol! This is my therapy now, thanks to my experiences w/ this site I will continue to pass it on.

I am an ambitious writer and am curious where this poetry may take me. Recently I have joined a few groups such as People With Disabilities. We help each other out and have great conversations about things we are dealing with everyday good or bad. If you are curios about this group and want to join, go to People With Disabilities. We will welcome anyone with open arms.

My long term goals consist of finding a decent job working with the youth. Most likely as a Youth Advocate or maybe even a Victims Advocate. I have a beautiful niece who I absolutely adore and she inspires me to want to help youth even more. Love ya punk!♥ "I take a piece of you with me where ever I go." I guess we'll see how fate decides my future.

I just got my drivers license. I was never expecting that. My fears have controlled my life for a long time. Among many other things, I have began educating myself more about Lyme disease. It took them several years to diagnosis it but I am trying to remain positive while enduring the treatment. I have to get sicker before I can get better; it's the way it is. Some of the symptoms I deal with on day to day basis: OCD, PTSD's, Depression, anxiety, alcohol fetal syndrome, ADHD, and agoraphobia. Honestly, I am doing a lot better with it all now; especially when I was still in school, as well as when I am surrounded by those who love me. Though it all seems to hold me back at times still, like the driving of course; I am challenging myself everyday to move forward and to live a decent life. Success comes in all measures,.....I think I want success in happiness and true-unconditional love.

I was in a pretty bad car accident where I suffered from a concussion and received sever memory loss that has just recently gotten somewhat better. Now I live on guard, in constant fear of something like that happening again. I am on several different meds and also have been told I have Fibro, and arthritis. Therefore I tend to want to entertain myself inside my home if at all and as much as possible. Not to many people understand, so I have few close friends anymore. That's alright w/ me I suppose. I have family and true friends like my boyfriend Jason, Nikki "the match maker" , Sarah, April, Lisa, & Erica who take me who I am, good and bad

I am in a serious relationship w/ an awesome man, so back off stalkers!LOL! "I love you babe! xo ♥ "Jason, you inspire me to be a better person and have been patient with me while I am learning to let the little shit go. It's not important to stress everything, so thanx for your love and affection, you know I can never get enough! We get along really well considering what I have been through this is a breeze; loving you comes naturally, we're a perfect match, and your love makes me very happy!"

"Thanx Nikki and Matt yet again for the blind date! That was a classic, we'll be talkin about it for many years to come, that's for sure! You are both so good to us and we are always thinkin of you. This has been such a good thing for all of us."

My writing is often of the top of my head, to get shit off my chest. So be honest by all means, but no need to be critical, spare me the negativity please, I will chew up all haters and spit them out so be ware. I am on here for fun not to be a professional. I enjoy reading everyones poems it inspires me to write even more.
Thanx to all who support & love me,

♥

Quick over view of my life:

~ I am a high school graduate of Franklin Alt. High in
2000 ~

~ In 2002 I received my cosmetology degree and license. I do hair on the side, it helps w/ spending cash, hence the term "trade". ~

~ June 1st, 2008 I obtained my Associates Degree in Criminal Justice at Andover College. "Here's to a new start!" ~

~ I can't stand sports and boy movies. "Sorry babe!!!" ~

~ I am a neat freak and love to cook for others.

~ I enjoy sewing and other crafts to relieve stress.

~ Poetry and short stories are helping me express myself, and it can be very rewarding when I get positive responses from other members of All Poetry as well as Story Write.

~ I love romantic evenings w/ my man, and hanging w/ friends and my pets. Sebastian Lacedrick A.K.A Peanut, is 7yrs. & 7 lbs. he is ( a black Palma-Poo mix), Jullian Xavier (a gray-cream coon cat w/ lime green eyes.) Jullian loves to beat on Peanut cause he is way bigger than the poor dog is! Our two (mutated zebra/society finches) are Courdroy Danaj (She is mostly white & hand-tamed.)The newest addition Brady Moss ( he's brown, cream & pale copper markings w/ bright orange cheeks). I love animals of all kinds, it's probably a good thing that I don't have a house w/ land cause I'd have a zoo!
