There are parts of me that want to stomp
The earth’s crust for being cruel
What better thing is there to do
When human didn’t know
The pain to be blue

Thirst
Thirst
Luring imagery captivating empty bargains
Dispersed as viruses, conquering the now
The cruel ironic truth of craving today
Hailing over one’s mind
Disconnecting a soul to its purpose
Negotiations deter, they run dry
Corrupted love at the devil’s disposal
Well perhaps it’s too late
For another miserable try
To forget all the beauty, would be a lie
When the innocence, fasted
Crumbled and died
Was when I could no longer survive
Stated in your presence
You slipped your disguise
Worshipping the arrivals
Finalizing my demise
I’m still here
Here is one of the first articles I’ve read on WordPress which seems to resonate with me after so many months.

What an emotional read a great portrayal of depression.
“Depression is like being dead in a world that is cruelly alive.”
In life, I aspire to be the sparrows. No matter how life feels, I will always try to consider the opportunity of what I have yet to become, rather then what I am now.
Thanking the author for such talented and relatable work
Please give it a read!
A Thorny Rose
A thorny rose
A colossal beauty
Blossoms
Beneath raging vines
A bold attraction—lustfully craved
Artfully engaging its prey
Seductive play
Feeding on desire
Bodacious it lay
False echoes of purity
Vapidly tethered to her control
A sharp pierce by her touch
Lips stained maliciously red
Bewitched by the vision of perfection
Profusely drawing blood
Though endlessly in love
Defeated by farewell
Immersed in her spell
A fool’s game

150 years of Canada
Hi Everyone!
As it is a long weekend in Canada I have just been taking the day to relax and get through some reading for school. I’ve discovered that I really really like cappuccino’s and have no idea why I have never ordered them in past. I only like coffee when it’s served in actual porcelain cups and would never get this type of drink in a paper cup because I’m super odd. I feel as though it transforms the whole experience and maybe even the overall taste haha. I am now reading the Namesake by Jhumpa Lahiri which although I think is interesting at times, I am having a hard time getting into this book. Perhaps it is the cultural differences that I am unable to comprehend. Has anyone read this book before… what did you think?? Now that I am half way through I am beginning to gain interest.
After sitting at my favourite coffee shop today I picked up these bad boys on the way home! I could see them shimmering across the store amongst a collection of black rimmed glasses and knew I had to have them. If you didn’t know I LOVE pink. These sunglasses are super funky and definitely not average. I’m quite confident in my rash decision to purchase these child-like glasses 🙂
As many of you may know this weekend was a pretty significant one as it is Canada’s 150th birthday! With that said, I hope everyone in Canada had a wonderful and safe time with family and friends. Although I had three days off from work ( which never happens) I did not do too much and just stayed in with my family which I usually prefer anyways.
I also wanted to wish everyone a happy early 4th of July to fellow bloggers in the states. Does anyone have any cool plans for that?
Here is my Canada day brunch that I had over at my dad’s house it was super unhealthy yet absolutely delicious! Instead of bread in a classic eggs benedict, he decided to use rosti as the base. He is always innovating.
Hope you all had a fantastic long weekend!

Pour me a glass of wine
Things are to be fine
Daylight impatiently subsiding
Somber pink hues arrange
Merciful to the day—beautiful
Mesmerized by the likes of the skies
Openly free, an endless sequence to see
Illuminating smears so vast amongst us
Feeling minuscule in body,
Yet complex in it all
Surrounding each being is delicate skies
Reassuring that everything will be just alright
No one neglected or wrong to its presence
In this moment alone we may all unite
We all deserve breaks from this battle of distance
Struggling to accept the creation of all
Reluctant to trust though options are dwindling
The lustful skies scream for my surrender
I must veer my relents and find peace that may stay
My thoughts are unique, bothersome to say
for this reason, I’ll forfeit become better—more present
I will believe in this moment
I will be safe in a meaning
But the more that I can see
The less I obey
Tempted and thirsty I say
Pour me a glass of wine
-Kristen
Depression
A cue of relentless breaths
Distant yet heavy in her chest
Faint raspy heaving now captures your thoughts
A glimpse of her stale presence
Unsure of what her tense structure entails
Detached for mysterious reasons—wide-eyed
Wishing to discover her past
Emotions seem scarce
Perhaps just buried amongst the fear
Hidden from the manipulation of our kind
Unwilling to sacrifice the rush in her veins
Or perhaps not—Another blank stare
Draining as you question
Her ability to be there
-Kristen
Disturbed
Can you guys tell I can’t sleep haha??
Disturbed
I hope you find peace
I can feel these suffocating constraints
Flowing reckless—a misbehaved river
Rapids fiercely piercing on by
Currents dominating in distress
When will freedom become your destiny?
This Darkness suppresses the righteousness
You stand stiffly —unsure in despair,
A tightness no air
A stone cold boundless night.

Armour
ARMOUR
Reminiscent metal scraps
Indistinguishable opaque iron
Exposed to years of manipulation
Rusty disintegrating metal,
Salvaged,
Unjust betrayal
Neglected heroism
An ancient mystery to say
Treacherous journeys—scarring
Waiting on closure
Dwelling in solitude
Tragically anonymous
Sold—chucked away

Update? :)
Hi everyone!
I was quite thrilled with the book Bel Canto I thought it was so amazing as Anne Patchett’s writing is so beautiful and inviting. The book was so exciting the whole way through until about the last 4 pages… but hey it was bound to happen.. and besides I’m just too sensitive. If you were to tell me before I read the book that I would fall in love with characters who are essentially incriminating terrorists I wouldn’t believe it! But Anne Patchett has a way with her words and really brings us all back to one very simple point. We are ALL human! In this inspiring novel, the characters became entangled in a world that was vastly different from their own. With new controversial circumstances, hostages and terrorists alike were able to embark on a new journey that allowed the characters to unexpectedly free themselves and reflect upon their lives in solitude. This book was so beautifully done, I won’t get too much into detail but I would highly recommend the read. 🙂
Sooo… onto my next book!! I’ll be reading Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close by Jonathon Safran Foer. I heard really great things. Let me know if you have read this book and what you thought of it ?? By the way, I swear I went down for a cup of tea but it *ermm* seems to have turned into a glass of wine….weird?! I know I’m not the only one this has happened to right??
On another note look at how pretty the sky was this evening. I captured it on my way home from college. 🙂
