A year on……

It was back in 2020 when dad left us, just over a year ago. A year that flew past each day, week and month until once again another painful reminder of loss wrapped itself around me and my family, those closest to him once again finding the tears, the memories of years gone by and

New Directions, I’m coming home….. By L D Wright

2019 Was a year I don’t ever want to visit ever again, most of it was one I felt like my walls were closing in on me. I’d awoken so many demons that what had come and gone quickly spiralled around me and almost dragged me into the whirlwind of depression, sad memories, thoughts. These

Feelings behind my last post 5-2-Life…… by L D Wright

So last week I wrote a piece called 5-2-Life. I’m still not completely sure where it came from, I’ve never been to prison yet I continued to write, edit, think, publish. I suppose over the last twenty years plus I’ve locked myself in my own cell. Of course I was able to go about my

I Applaud YOU, You Survived….. By L D Wright

I Applaud You, You Survived….. Unpredictable moments stick, almost haunt us. The times life changed and challenged us. We didn’t break, we thought we couldn’t handle it,  guess again, you’ve got this. We’ve fought battles we didn’t intend to be a part of, life chose to pick on us but we don’t have to be

In Warm Loving Hands by L D Wright

In Warm Loving Hands….. I’ve fought with my thoughts, the presents I would have given, knowing full well they’d never be opened. Searched for the smiles I’d hoped to have seen, missed all the laughter we’d have shared without thinking. Looked to the skies, watching the clouds floating around, made out the pictures before merging

You’ve got this….. By L D Wright

Life’s regrets, upsets, setbacks, resets, head in hands as time ticks away, deliberating what happens next, locked in turmoil as the thoughts click, fists clenched, deep breaths before reaching a calming influence to ease your mind. We can all become our own worst enemy, our actions deploy the crowds  judgement of what they want to

Searching….. By L D Wright

Searching….. We are all searching, somethings we find easily, others camouflaged, there yet hidden out of sight, trophies we come across, the buried treasure that someone else lost. Silver spoon or extra blankets. We’re all the same, just wear different outfits. Walking down that lonely path until a thought provokes a smile we’d witnessed, leads

Happy Birthday Princess…..

Days as important as today should never fade away, just like a memory I carry you around, granted I haul the sadness alongside the smiles you created but the love I cherish has never left. All the missed moments, the new adventures, the stories we would have made. I’ve took you with me every single

It’s all about the memories….. By L D Wright

It’s all about the Memories….. I’ve found pieces of my puzzle, still some evade me like I’ve well and truly lost them. Unable to remember but one day maybe it will all click back together. Thinking about the past and how it’s gone so quickly, things I did at 5, now can’t remember why I’ve

Your Reflection….. By L D Wright

Your Reflection….. I suppose it all depends on how life treat you that reflects the gaze staring back, mirrors don’t give answers no matter what the question, you can ask a thousand times you’ll never change the outcome. What that reflection shows is your still here fighting the fight, You didn’t give in, you pulled
