The current state of the world has my heart a mess. I was fortunate enough to grow up in NYC, a land of diversity. I was fortunate enough to be raised by parents who grew up amongst the same diversity, and never missed an opportunity to teach us that we are all equal. They taught …
The Lame Chick: The Shift
Lost in thought is my natural state of being. I’ve always been more introspective around my Birthday though. Analyzing what lessons this trip around the sun has taught me, gauging my personal growth, if any. Reevaluating the who, and the why, and the what I surround myself with. Lately Your Girl has been shifting at …
Disingenuous
Disingenuous At the end they’ll say She handled it with grace The pain, the loss, the tragedy Each trauma that she faced But they still knocked her down Every chance that they could Afraid that her shine Would cast shadows where they stood #OriginalContent #TheLameChick #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety #Depression #Human #WritersNetwork #WritersOfInstagram #WritersCommunity #WritersOfIG #Writer …
The Lame Chick: Soul
I’ve wasted too much of my life trying to channel your frequencies. Years of anger, frustration, and sadness because I’ve always been misunderstood. Few have ever accepted the depth of my wisdom, the clarity of my vision, or the mindfulness of my soul. It’s taken almost 38 years, but I’ve made peace with it. We’re …
The Lame Chick: Essentials
Truth is stranger than fiction. No two days are alike. The scales are constantly fluctuating, no balance to be found. As an Empath I feel all the things. Your fear, your frustration, your anger, your anxiety, your boredom, your entitlement, your panic, your desperation, your hope, your faith, your concern, your love, your camaraderie…A weight …

The Lame Chick: Selfish
I found myself shedding tears for a girl I never really knew. A little more than an acquaintance, but not quite a friend. At some point in time we shared a lunch table, a few social events, and the occasional hang out around the neighborhood. We were a group of misfits at best, some of …
Foundationally Flawed
Foundationally Flawed A handful of moments Collected through the years Used to ease my sorrow Though they bring on tears A handful of moments Where you were caught off guard Spoken without hesitation Truths you’d usually find too hard A handful of moments You laid your heart bare It was the proof I needed …
The Lame Chick: Together
In times of disarray and uncertainty, together is how we survive. It’s easy to give in to fear, to feed the chaos, to shut down, and withdraw…but as with most things in life, the easy road is the fastest route to ruin. We need eachother now more than ever, so as we physically distance ourselves, …
Happy Deadiversary
Our final conversation was the best we had in years. You were clear-headed. You were hopeful. You were vivacious. You spoke of the future. You spoke of your love of our family. You told me you were proud of us. You told me to stop living for other people. You told me to follow my …
