VERSE I I still love you in spite of my heartless wintriness My heart's been immured by fear and cowardice I could've joined you on the deep end of the swimming pool

🎶Melancholy’s Enemy🎶. Honorable Mention in Harmonic Verses Challenge. Top Story - April 2025.
You can listen here: https://youtu.be/oKNZ6mqlN1c?si=InDJUIYwt-Z1MpuI (Sorry to make you go to a separate page. I sang and recorded this entire thing on Soundtrap and realized at the very last minute before the deadline that the WAV file is not compatible with Vocal. 😭 I was super bummed because I worked really hard on this. However, I figured out shortly after that I could screen record it from Soundtrap and upload it to YouTube. Unfortunately, the option to embed the link was no longer available at that point. However, it’s better than nothing! ☺️

It Will Always Be Your Song
Chorus It will always be your song/ the one that played all along/ in your soul it rests there until you are ready to hear/ the rhythm of your love/ the poem of your soul/ the harmony of your dreams/ and what it all means.

Allowed to Be. Top Story - April 2025. Content Warning.
I wrote this while feeling frustration and anger over the current state of society. I have never understood the determination of some to try to force their beliefs and opinions on others, while still claiming they support freedom and equality. I have studied several religions through my life before finding that Wicca vibes best with my personal opinions and views. Empathy has always been a very strong aspect of my inner self and something I was grateful to been so connected with.

Maybe It's Me. Top Story - April 2025.
When I was a teen in college, I was part of a garage band. Like any musical person who sang in the shower regularly, I wanted to be a singer - but I didn't have any range or voice, so I was relegated to instrumentals.
