I can resolve.<br>     I write about &#8220;writing&#8221; this or that, when or where and on what medium.<br>90% comes from the moment. There are a few poems that take some time. I will flesh them out.<br>     I take the notes I need, and lose the motivation. I have been reading more than writing as-of-late. It used to be the other way around. I opened up <a href=\"https:\/\/wordpress.com\/home\/thescrolloftruth.wordpress.com\">The Scroll of Truth<\/a> which contains many quatrains. Prolific&#8230;.meh&#8230;not so much. A person like me just has to write or explode. <br>     It&#8217;s as if I have never grown up, all of the vivid memories of my anxiety and struggles seem to tag along. Vicious secrets cry to be released, and I cry because of the pain. When the crying is done, a new day dawns, and it is Groundhog Day 2.0 <br>      Slowly, it is easing up somewhat. I have done the most crazy stuff without addictions or medications. Just poor choices. With that being said, my Mother was my encouragement. She was killed in 1977. I was 14.  I have had a long row to hoe. Marriage, yeah, I&#8217;ve been there. I don&#8217;t know about this soul-mate business. I gave, they took. I took, and I left.<br>     The one constant before my mother passed in my life has been Jesus. She saw me get baptized.  The Holy Spirit and the guardian angels have been my rock. I am blessed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Choose what you will. I can resolve.
