I Wasn’t Interested in This
I didn’t achieve despite my dyslexia. I’ve done everything as me. Even how I write for you. You can hear my voice - can’t you? It’s not been stamped out in the ‘right’ way to write.

And She Removed the Cloak of Shame
Are you ready & willing to shed?
Can you feel the transformational fire spiraling up from the earth awakening your vessel to its fullest potential?
What will you create once you allow the element of fire to alchemize & purify?
Shame
For years now I have shamed /
The pieces of me that they named /
As unworthy, not enough /
Too loud, untamed /
I stand tall now /
No longer hidden /
By all they shamed /
And said was forbidden
Motherhood
So hush the voice that says you're wrong /
You're in the place where you belong /
For in your care, your child will thrive /
You’re more than enough, and you will survive
Feeling All is OK
For though the past may hold its claim /
The soul can rise beyond the flame /
In time, the chains may start to fall /
And love and strength can conquer all
She Found Her Voice
For though the past may hold its claim, /
The soul can rise beyond the flame. /
In time, the chains may start to fall, /
And love and strength can conquer all.
The Unloved Lover
his book has to remain unwritten, unread, unnoticed, /
Because his name could not be on the cover. /
Author Unknown ~ /
The name of the book? /
Is it not clear? /
Can’t you see? /
It’s all about love & all things queer /
And not being seen for fear /
Of Shame.
Shaking off Shame
Navigating shame can be a challenge as we unravel the many layers of it buried within us, but it can be done. Like all of our emotions, it carries a signal and message and points us towards the places within that may be lacking our compassion, acceptance and empathy. It calls us into deeper wholeness, inviting us to meet the parts of ourselves that need us most.

Our Lady of Love
For we have the power /
To feel it all /
For those who just couldn’t /
Buried deep in the soil /
The hunger, the hurt /
An gorta mór /
The famine is over /
Let’s feast for them all
