Ellen Powell writings Ellen Powell

I move through my space with the determination and strategy that is required to get across the room.
Everyday that can be a little different, obstacles can be greater or lesser depending on your quality of rest. Things can be placed in your way and remove just as fast.
In the scheme of things going from one side of your bedroom for the other does not seem like a momentous occasion. Alas, in that moment that you have to sit up from your bed and plant your feet on the floor. That can be one of the hardest decisions to make that day. You are powerful and you are strong and your footfall can Shake Nations if properly done. Everyday that you stand up and walk across your room is a day that you take hold of your own life. Everyday that you walk over and open your door is yours and no one can take it from you.
Will you make that decision?
When you make that decision to get up and start your day of your own free will, that choice should carry you throughout the day. Because you got up you get to do what you want. No one can tell you different.
Hold your head up strong, they can't make you lay back down.

Jan 31 2021 "my burrow"

———Tucked away in my safe hidey hole-
No one can get to me, and I won't be cold-
Me With pillows, under my blanket-
I hide from the light-
With all this weight getting up is a fight-
Because Just a sheet won't cut it-
Let me lay here and grow old-
In this burrow where I have control———

Jan 30 2021 "folly of the blossom"

———You think I'm a delicate flower-
You care for me, watch me grow-
You water me, keep My leaves clean-
make sure I don't get too much sun-
And then after I have bloomed-

The most beautiful flower you have ever seen-

You cut me at my root and put me in a vase-
Presented for all to see-
Exposed-
All of my Stem reflected in the water-
Until My blossom Gets too heavy and wilts-
Then I am discarded———

Jan 29 2021 "Complacency"

———Doing the same thing over and over again-
When will I realize I'm not going to win-
Yes sir, yes ma'am, I'll get that right away-
I swear I am going to snap any day-
Oh haha I haven't heard that a thousand times-
what why are you telling me about your crimes-
No! I'm not your servant! Despite you treating me like one-
All right that's it today I'm done-
But I don't want to learn something new-
I'm just really done working for you-
I hope I can make my dreams a reality-
But for now I am in complacency———

Jan 28 "gay sun"

———The rabbit chases the wolf today-
They run around the Briar Patch-
No one there to get their way-
As they spin, getting closer to the snatch-
Running in the Sun so gay-
They aren't the typical match-
But when seen they all must say-
Even though it might be a little cliche-
They are quite the catch———
