Impressionist style painting of a sunset over water, using a palette knife to layer on hues of dark blue and pink and red.  The sun sets over the water’s horizon of lighter blue mixed with the red and pink reflections.  In the foreground is a narrow band of grayish brown shore. Painting was completed by A.K. Feria when she was 10 years old.

Skies Full

In your tomorrow

will you wallow in

sorrows 

yesteryear

and remain

BFF’s of 

Resentment 

Bitterness or Fear?

No one is responsible 

for childhood trauma

But in adulting

we can make choices to halt

extraneous drama.

Don’t overeat 

or drink 

or think 

those feelings

will just away go

on their own

overnight.

Anything worth growing starts
