Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Rewiring the Brain: Poetry

Poetry pours out of my soul

when I feel old

when life is hard

and feelings overwhelm

it is how

I make it through

it’s my release

and my way

to find beauty

to rediscover hope

in the midst of life

I won’t apologize

though my people pleasing heart

and misunderstood soul

wants to

but I think it’s beautiful

and it’s me

I embrace this part of me

About Me

An obsessive journaler who loves meeting others along their journey and giving them a hand to hold through pieces of writing. I write about the heartbreaks of life and the joys, the ups and downs, and I often learn my greatest lessons and miracles from nature.
