Free by Desiree Cady

Free

I remember you once told me
That I could not survive without you
Well sit back and prepare for the amazing things 
that I am about to do

For years I thought​ that it was you
That held me tightly together
But now I look back and I see
It was me who was withstanding the harshest weather

When you left I was so lost
I was just so damned scared
But looking back I see now
I was the only one that cared

I had so much love in my heart
Devoted to what I thought we were
That I would've never found the strength to leave
So I am thankful that you did it first

I am finally free to be the woman
That I once used to be
I am finally free to smile again
To find the beautiful side of me.

Bio
I am a 33 year old mother of two beautiful girls who have been my saving grace. After a brutal attack a few years ago, I have been plagued by PTSD. After the attack and a few suicide attempts, I vowed to tell my story and help inspire others to get help and to know that they are not alone. 
I am currently wrapping up two manuscripts for publication and am set to be published in an upcoming anthology that will come out mid - November.

Gently in Nature by Michael Griffith

-
Gently in Nature I wish today's sunlight could last forever. Our sky a blue that can't be defined by a crayon's name. Neither can the amber of your hair - They're both found gently in nature. We witness the park's afternoon together, but details will shift in time's shaky embrace. You will correct me when I misremember the breed of the runaway dog we saw and the name of that deli where we bought those regrettable sandwiches when I tell our friends about this perfect picnic day, but for now all I want to focus on is that spark in your smile as you look up into my squinting-in-the-sun eyes, a spark of love found gently in your nature. BIO:   Michael Griffith began writing poetry while recovering from a life-changing injury. Poetry helped his mind and spirit stay healthy as his body healed. His poetry has recently appeared in Ripen the Page, Dual Coast Poetry, Poetry Quarterly, Degenerate Literature, the Starving P...

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady

Grounded Angel By Desiree Cady The devil appeared Such an evil, dark one Told me his plan By the end I knew I was done. I had met a force Sure to break me down In a pool of my own blood I was sure to drown. He said, " You can't be this innocent, You can't be this sweet. I will deny you of your wings And you can join me below in my hellish heat." He proceeded to attack, Stripped me of my wings.. But I sensed God was present So I didn't feel a thing. He thought he had won As he took my weapons of flight But I fooled him..for even a broken winged angel Can still stand up and fight.
