About Us

Today's post is my entry into this week's 100 Word Challenge, hosted by Velvet Verbosity. The 100 Word Challenge is an exercise in which we write exactly 100 words in response to the weekly prompt word. Click the link to read the other entries–good stuff over there! 
This week's prompt was "wild". 

I am a daughter,  

a wife, 

a friend, 

and artist.

A former wild girl

now confined by love

to a 16 year marriage

to the boy I met 

at thirteen,

married 

at twenty seven,

almost lost 

at thirty two.

Sometimes, alone,

I get lost 

in thoughts

of what could have been, 

what still may be.

But this, I know:

Alone we are unsure,

unsteady,

and claustrophobic.

English and math,

positive and negative.

Alone we are one.

But together 

we are so much more

than two.

Strong and balanced.

Fearless and

unstoppable. 

Impossible 

and improbable.

Ourselves, improved.

Together, we are us.
