I look at myself in the mirror, and I only see the sadness behind my smile.
I feel the disappointment from the sight I now find within my own eyes.
The happiness that lately cannot be found.
The joy of learning and growing.
The confidence I once had.
Knowing I could do anything I put my mind to.
I miss the independence that I once had as I find myself growing old.
The days of dancing in delight, and making memories with my children.
My youth is gone, the pain has taken over.
I fight to once again gain my freedom.
The pain that flows through my body will not stop me.
I reminisce of the sand beneath my feet, and the warm waves splashing up between my toes.
The beauty of the sunsets while traveling to far away destinations.
The adventures and exploration of unknown places.
Trying new foods, and embracing other cultures.
The death defying feats as I jump off cliffs, and zip line through the air.
I hope to engage readers, and with their continued interest and support make writing away to support my family. I currently write short stories, and poetry. My future goal is to write children's books. I create works of art NFTs, photos, digital illustrations, and acrylic on canvas and hope one day to make it more than just a hobby.
