Image
Self image can be devastating.The destruction done by judgmental people.Body image is difficult at best for a lot of us.This is a glimpse of what I have seen.The disorders mentioned are not gender bound.Mercy unto those who continue to suffer.…

What If
What would you do if you knew that you only had a few months or weeks left to live? Would you take the time to finish all the important things we typically leave undone because we always can do it later? Would you enjoy life's little pleasures just a little more? Or would you be afraid, shut down and miss out on the precious time you have left? I don't spend a lot of time wondering what I would do, if. I don't if it would be an advantage or a hindrance to know a specific end time. I have seen cases when the learned doctor says, "You only have six months left to live.", and more than six years later life endures. I have decided, since I have given it thought, that I should live each day as if it were my last day. In reality, it could well be, so why not make the best of each day. What if today was your last day and you didn't know it??? Titled What If By Edwin Brown 5/21/15…
I Felt My Breath
I felt my breath, the air flowed in and filled my lungs. I exhaled and felt it exit my body. I inhaled and your scent tickled my nose. Your smile delighted my gaze. The sound of your voice relaxed my nerves. I am at peace in your presence. The touch of your hand gives me a confidence I have never known. I felt my breath, the air flowed in and filled my lungs. I exhaled and felt it exit my body. I wrote your name on my heart. You gave me joy in my time of need. Your caring ways touched me deeply. I loved you long before I ever spoke the words. I felt your breath as you held me closely. You exhaled as we kissed and I tasted your love. Titled I Felt My Breath By Edwin Brown 7/15/15…
I'm Not Laughing At You
I'm not laughing at you... I'm laughing at what you said. I'm not laughing at you... Really... I'm laughing with you. But I'm not laughing. When I open up and share of myself, its not funny to be laughed at. Even if it is funny, I came to you to listen. Trusting a friend to understand that my feelings are at risk.Yeah, maybe later, I'll be able to laugh. But now I'm in need of a friend. I know it's hard to hold it back, but who hasn't been thru this? My pride, my ego and now my trust are comic relief. All because I needed someone to talk to Now that the humor of it is out, I chuckle too. Mostly to hide my mistrust. No sense being angry. Sharing my embarrassing situation is obviously funny. So no... I'm not laughing with you... I'm laughing at me Titled I'm Not Laughing At YouBy Edwin Brown8/9/14…

Day After Day
I sit here, day after day. Alone, in this big, old house. Sure, people often call to ask me out or see if I feel like having company but I'm so used to being alone.…
Where To Go From Here
How do I know where to go from here? Especially when I feel so lost to begin with.It's not easy to decide whether to stay in one place or to take on the world. To think things will change if I go somewhere else is about as smart doing the same things that brought me here in the first place.Whatever I do, I pray it won't be a mistake. The best advice I have for myself is to always keep faith. In God I must trust, because He knows all things. Believe in myself, because He made me strong.No matter where I go, I take myself with me. So before I waste time relocating, there's one thing I must accept. If I'm going to live righteously, it matters not where I am.Titled Where To Go From HereBy Edwin Brown8/7/14…
