Never Enough

by Nikki Minarikupdated on May 30, 2020February 29, 2020Leave a Comment

Never Enough Often difficult to explain How I’ve come to feel Like capturing the wind Just to show you that it’s real You haven’t lived my life Not seen the world through my eyes Don’t know the depths to which I’ve fallen Can’t gauge the height of my rise Shaped by a life of heartache …

I was celebrated for my kindness, my intelligence, my humor. The world around me loved those things about me, so I grew to love those …

The Art of Disconnection And this is the way that it has to be To finally accept that it’s only me No shoulder to cry on No hand to hold Through life’s toughest terrain I walk alone #OriginalContent #TheLameChick #MentalHealth #MentalHealthAwareness #Anxiety #Depression #Human #WritersNetwork #WritersOfInstagram #WritersCommunity #WritersOfIG #Writer #Blogger #Photography #NaturePhotography #Poet #PoetsOfInstagram #PoetryCommunity …

Subtext

Subtext There’s a darkness so consuming It stands to overtake the world In times like these I disengage To save the light within this girl But if all of us who flicker Were to ignite into a flame We’d blind them with our brilliance And completely change the game #OriginalContent #TheLameChick #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Human …

Bleeding Out

Bleeding Out The bitterest of pills That it was all for naught I gave all I had And you kept what you got I’ve yet to find the purpose Of a lesson so surreal Shattered beyond recognition Wounds only death could heal #OriginalContent #TheLameChick #MentalHealth #Anxiety #Depression #Human #WritersNetwork #WritersOfInstagram #WritersCommunity #WritersOfIG #Writer #Blogger #Photography …

Love Blindness

Love Blindness I sought comfort in the depth Of souls laid bare Through the windows of our vessel Convinced I found truth there Adrift in hopeless wonder Love blossomed unseen Deceived by the lies That the clouds have always been #OriginalContent #TheLameChick #WritersNetwork #WritersOfInstagram #WritersCommunity #WritersOfIG #Writer #Blogger #Photography #NaturePhotography #SkyPorn #Clouds #CloudPorn #Poet …

The Lame Chick: Losing A Lost Boy

by Nikki Minarikon December 28, 2019December 28, 2019Leave a Comment

For the last few days words have escaped me. Trying to wrap my mind around the loss of such a brilliant light in this world seems futile. Addiction offers no purpose, it serves no greater good. But let there be a lesson in this for all who knew and loved Derek. I was raised by …

The Lame Chick: Happy Birthday Ghost Dad

by Nikki Minarikupdated on December 16, 2019December 9, 2019Leave a Comment

Leave a good-looking corpse.” For an intelligent man, you were an idiot sometimes. I get that from you. A goofiness people never expect because we’re well-spoken. A penchant …
