I am Safe

Safe to be and express exactly who I am
Always prioritize myself—my needs, my comfort, my desires, my safety, my wellbeing
Feel comfortable and at ease in myself and my surroundings
Everything is truly okay, I am safe now

What is Peace?

A home filled with 

knick-knacks,

filled with laughter, 

filled with delicious smells

and soothing lullabies 

A moment

of stillness

of comfort

of ease

Eyes closed

and heart open

You can feel the world

vibrating around you

and within you

There is nothing but now

Here.

Who you are is enough

and peace embodies 

your entire being

A white dove glides 

above the sea

Rushing water 

cleanses 

our collective soul

Here you are

and you are here

No more, no less

You are enough

Breathe deep

and savor this moment

this safety

You are complete.

On the Embodiment of Anger

A burst of flames

An omnipotent

Ruby red, seething 

Beautiful and terrifying

Creature arises from

The ruins of 

Too many pin-pricks

Surrounded by fire and

Creating even more
burn it all

Burn it all down
Enough is enough 

Written by Rose A. Fitzgerald during a Therapeutic Poetry Workshop courtesy of SocietyX with Lisa Ann Markuson regarding 'Embodiment' of anger.
