Hey there, I am Jodie. I am a 31 year old mother of four brilliant children. I love reading, though its not something I can easily find time for, and listening to music. Music is the most important thing in the world to me (people arent things!) and I wouldnt make it through the day without it. I have an amazing husband who knows me better than I know myself. My friends are the best in the world. I am extremely blessed.
You may notice from the feel of some of my poems that I havent always been as happy as I am at the moment and thats due to suffering depression and anxiety in the past. Whilst I can still sometimes have bad days I feel the worst is in the past.
Hope you like what Ive shared so far and I hope to share some more soon. Ive looked back at some of the things Ive posted and whilst Im not happy with some of them because Ive grown as a person and as a writer, Im going to leave them up anyway. x x
You wear it like an old black cloak
It smothers the light within.
Wherever you go, it's always there
Keeping out the good people bring.
...
There it stands
Never moving less the wind blows
In my mind it stands tall and strong
A visual marker of the time since you passed
...
Your eyes glistening as does the ocean on a summer's day
Rain falls around us, you enfold me in your leather coat
Time stops as you hold me in your arms and time stops
Ten years or so have passed and here we are still
...
The road is long and I am weak
I get swept off my feet
There is a wave it carries me
I feel strong now I believe
...
Not very far away from the town
Just away from the hustle of the high street
I sit in my favourite spot beside the canal
It's so peaceful still there is pleanty to see
...
