#HappyValentinesDay

Twitter, I’d like to say TQ
For all that you have given
Support and *hugs* a plenty
Friends with faces hidden

There to laugh and there to cry
At half past 3 to morning light
You have been there by my side
Carrying me through sleepless nights

In 140 characters
You tell the world your life
With words, links and photos
Whether LOL or FML

You share with me your  stories
As I share with you my own
Whether it’s what we’ve had for lunch
Or how our children have grown

Friends, colleagues, slebs or strangers
You can follow who you choose
There’s chatter, weather, news & travel
There’s Competitions & Blogger Reviews

So I want to take this moment
To open up to you and say
Twitter I really do love you

Poem: matter over mind

My mind is racing
Disguised by a smile
My heart is racing
But I'm in denial.

I can't let them see
This feeling inside
This panic rising
I've got to hide

To all I look calm
But they don't know
The thoughts in my head
I won't let them show

I search for a reason
But there is none
I take a deep breath
And try to have fun

I know it is silly
I tell it to go away
That I'm fine, happy
What more can I say

Then I'm angry
So close my eyes
Then I tell myself
The worries are lies

I am not gonna let
The anxiety rule
I open my eyes
And stand up tall

I am in control
This here is my skin
I am gonna be strong
Anxiety will not win!

Stormy Waters

I listen to them roar as they rush upon the shore.
Hungrily searching and dangerously lurching.
Sucking seaweed and shells back into dark angry swells.
Their beauty and power, looking to devour
The week and weary; hunting, nearly!
Their thunderous cry matches that of the sky
Deafening as silence as they approach with violence.
They rush upon the shore as I listen to them roar.
