Ashamed. Failing and flailing. Lost as how to fix what I cannot feel.
All of the joy trapped beneath the pain. Never good enough to grasp a hold of all that I could be.
About me
- Angela
- Although I’m not defined by these labels, here is a bit about myself. I am a wife, mother and grandmother. I am a writer, and poet who teaches yoga for a living. I mainly teach in therapeutic settings to trauma survivors. I, myself am a childhood rape survivor, and recovering from Anorexia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I'm learning to be present. Living in the here and now. I'm also learning that I can't change the past, but I am in control of my destiny. I'm taking back my life, taking back my power, and learning to spread my wings and take flight. I like to focus my yoga teaching on body awareness, body acceptance, stress relief, and anxiety. I also teach private clients, so feel free to reach out and book a session at yogagoddess66@gmail.com

But you CAN be so much more than this. Words are extremely powerful and the more you write about the darkness and fear in your life, the easier it is to believe. Can you imagine if you wrote poems that were about fighting against those negative voices in your head or searching for joy or empowering yourself to rise above all of this? Where are those poems? Being happy is a choice. Being fulfilled is a choice. Being free is a choice. Even if you have demons to battle, you can still make a choice against that. If you only write about how you feel defeated than that is what your life will become. To be healed you need to write about that and believe it. To be happy you need to write about that and believe it. Dark words will leave you in the dark.
Excellent use of economy of words.
"Never good enough to grasp a hold of all that I could be" resonates with me.
