If life is a game 
It’s one I’ve no desire to play. Can you not feel the aching waves of fatigue resonating from these weary bones? Did you not see the sunshine cower, pulling clouds across the sky to hide behind? Even the sunshine feels my ache.

Natasha Head, "Chasing Clouds"

I long for those forgotten years When no one noticed me When I could simply disappear And let what was just be I yearn for all those better days Like those that came before The ones that did not notice me Until they needed more I know I only need a day Of faith and gratitude The mystery of a thing called hope And the magic of solitude.

Do not doubt your time here, nor your place. Trust that this is it. That moment. That minute. That second that sets you on the path that will lead you from this darkened wood of discontentment. Do not doubt the path. The only promise is that if you choose a direction the path will be there. Your faith was never meant to keep you stuck, it was meant to keep you moving. Through good moments (which pass) Through terror, through tragedy, through despair (because like the good, the bad will also pass) Do not doubt yourself. Your impact. Your ability to make magic and miracles happen. Trust in the value of a smile, a heart, a friend. Trust...in your time and in your space. Own your moment here. There was no promise beyond this.

This heart This heart is strong It has to be. It has learned to be. It is capable of more love, more compassion, more empathy than I could have ever imagined. Its' capacity for forgiveness is a force in itself. I believe in it. That there are others like it. That together we can change the world. Its' only flaw. Its' only shortcoming? That it so doubts itself Because it can't convince you. Natasha Head FB.com/tashtooparlour #poetry #tashtoo #natashahead #poetsofig #writers #writersofig #prose #amwriting #wip

I close my eyes. I am there. The smell of mossy spring Sun on skin Sneaking creeping Reefer madness. I close my eyes Knowing my retreat Is no secret The memory Is all mine. Natasha Head Fb.com/tashtooparlour #poetry #poetsofig #potpoetry #summer #writers #writersofinstagram #420 #moments #tashtoo

There’s a dusty little corner Where the words just lay in wait One I don’t show anybody For it’s susceptible to hate And angry little thoughts and fears That really don’t mean much Yet they hold us ransomed With their biting, poisoned touch It is here I let them go Where no one can see me cry It is here I bury them So they won’t judge me when I try To pretend I didn’t see And that I didn’t hear All those awful words you spoke of me Because I am what you fear.

The eve is upon us The hand moves forward The thought ...back Reflection based on tainted observation The choking on responsibility The suffocation Used to kill the me I used to be She is zombie Forever alive Where the dark thoughts reside And time pays no mind To the season.

Do I want to be the pillar Or do I want to be the stone Chipped away and rolling Seeking a new home Do I want to be the oak tree Or do I want to be the leaf Caught in winds a blowing Never finding what I seek Do I want to be the drifter Or do I want to be the lord The amount of life you sacrifice Is the amount you can afford.

If I'm nothing more than luck and stardust I'm just here to watch it burn But if you add the magic There's a lesson to be learned I don't need to to know the answers But I need the freedom to seek I don't need to know the language But I feel the urge to speak If it's you I run into On this fiery flight When tails collide on this suicide ride We are one, not wrong or right So take the luck and give a fuck At least care while you are here And when the winds blow it all away Leave a little stardust there.
