I have a shoe box in my closet filled with poems, essays and short stories. All writings from years ago when I was earning my university degree. Now my email is brimming with drafts of anecdotes and ranting spiels. There are even flash drives with manuscripts and screenplays to boot somewhere. Until recently, I lacked the courage to share. The truth is,I am a story teller, a philosopher and a survivor who many look to for advice, opinion and insight. I have decided not to let my insecurities about putting my words to print continue to be my accuse or deterrent not to share. Please enjoy.

Godless

An Emily Wright original poem: Godless. People suffer through  cruelty and greed. A nation slaughtered and the constitution massacred in the orange haze of Trump Trauma. The orange snake.

Trump Trauma

Deluted

An Emily Wright orignal poem: Deluted. A shared secret about heartache and acceptance of being alone.

Maintain your standards. Never settle. Better to single for the right reasons then be in the wrong relationship for even a second.

Paralyzed

An Emily Wright original poem: Paralyzed. A shared secret about that moment you realized that it is over and love dies.

The grief of time lost, effort futile, and love wasted. A frozed lock of time while you accept a future redirected and a life needing to be rebuilt.

An Emily Wright original poem: Paralyzed. A shared secret when love dies with the realization that they are not the one.

The Test

An Emily Wright original poem about the demise of humanity. It is a shared secret on our moral decline and ethical decent. Perhaps one day, there will be justic for those who appauded.

Justic
Humanities demise

Broken

An Emily Wright Original Poem: Broken. This shared secret is about woman imprisoned by the restraints of others. Held hostage by their will, timeline, and cruelty.

White Flowers

An Emily Wright Original Poem about aging: the inevitable fate and a woman’s lack of control over her future. The acceptance of being discarded and overlooked. To get cut down and stepped on regardless of your experience, strength, or numbers. Resilience is futile.

Emily Wright Original Poem: about aging and overlooked. Resilience is futile

Despair

An Emily Wright original poem on shared secrets of love , life, and depression

Inspired by A Drift

Today I feel untethered.

Like an unmourned row boat without an anchor adrift in a bay, my charges line the shore. None out of place, rather nothing that cannot wait for my return. The wind but a breeze, the water calm and clear, casting glittering shards of light in every direction. The gentle rock and sway like a lullaby. 

It’s not a lazy day, just untrusted and unscheduled. Freeing before the moment my mind catches on a loose thought in need of shape and order.

Until then, I am hushed by the waters ebb as it unrolls up the beach with every breath. The air picks up carrying the scent of evergreen and earth.

Unsaid

Emily Wright’s original poem Unsaid is about quiet strengths, suffering, and thoughts of young women as they take in all that their future has in store: the injustices, heartache, and constant challenges. There are no words for how she feels.
