bonded together
stuck with the past
trying to creep
amongst the fading present
it is something
never to runaway from
as it adds layers
of padding
some decaying of overuse
others seamlessly
provide strength
motivation, endurance
without expecting
one day further
our moments
exponentially grateful
that we exist
able to relate
that it is good we give

-Jennie Nawrocki

step into my world
what do you find?
empathy in every fold
within a compassionate mind

give it a chance
no need for a special op
let go of the vengeance
prove you are humane, stop.

-Jennie Nawrocki

sing along to that favorite song
dance without a single prance
write well into the night
jump so you can pump
create after all you ate
rise above the assumed prize
skip the sinking ship
walk the way you talk
build til you are fulfilled
turn towards the burn
look deeper into the book
explore the untraveled floor
love without gloves

-Jennie Nawrocki

unseen pristine clothing
a fragrant smell applied
tighten a good look
hiding compounding nerves
not wanting expectations
spoiling outcomes
leaves preparing for everything
though nothing is planned
guides the way
learning to know each other

-Jennie Nawrocki

sitting, wondering
so many questions
a reasoning to be sought
the answer never transparent
where did it begin
does it ever end
sitting, wondering

-Jennie Nawrocki
