AFSP: Out of the Darkness Community Walk 2022

This past weekend I had the pleasure of participating in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention’s Community Walk. The Out of the Darkness event is a journey of remembrance, hope, and support for all affected by suicide. Numerous families were there to walk for the loved ones they’ve lost, while others were there to walk for themselves and those suffering from various mental health illnesses. Overall, the event was fun, and I was happy my mother and a close family friend were there to support me. It was my second time walking in the event, and I look forward to walking again next year. I encourage all to look into their local AFSP state chapter to participate when the event is in your community. It’ll help you realize that you are not alone, you are beyond loved by many, and you matter!

Much Love Hooters,

Seeking Peace: My First Poem

For this peace I seek,
And hopes for my pains decrease
My brain shall now speak-

As high as treelength,
I’m searching for my peace,
I just need the strength.

My thoughts are scattered,
Tears flowing like I’m battered,
My heart is shattered.

Stuck in the darkness,
I’ll make it out regardless-
A soul so harmless.

Yes, the peace is there,
Hidden within the darkness near,
My mind I need cleared-

I seek peace deeply
Silent weeps so discreetly,
The light is near me.

My story I tell,
Even stuck deep down a well,
They’ll be no farewell.
