Joyful Ruins

Discovering joy in the hard places


Compassion

There’s a healing light within me

that sense of self

I call her Compassion

She’s been with me from the start

a compass guiding me

always telling me to be myself

even when myself

made people bully me and reject me

treat me wrongly

Compassion taught me to stay true

never waver from authenticity

That healing light

which repelled some

drew others in

connecting me to beauty

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.
