UNFAIR ASSUMPTIONS

On January 20, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Melancholy54 Comments

She has only one mission
With state aid in hand
To buy the prettiest cake
Then she tries not to listen

As they snicker and whisper
Like in a bubble
Tunnel vision blinds them
To the entire picture

Callous words cut to her core
Deploring their conjectures
She strongly pushes forward
For her darling little girl

Through their mean masquerading
How would they know
Her daughter battles cancer
Inside she’s justly aching

Six flames may truly be
The most she’ll ever wish over
While sustaining her composure
Mommy does what’s necessary

Longing to silence heartless voices
As with a bar of soap
She contains her emotions
And follows through with choices

Them and the frosty grocer
They’re not worth the stress
Her daughter needs her home
This trip is brought to closure

This is based on a true story
and proves just how wrong
unfair assumptions can be~
heartbreaking circumstances.

MORNING

On January 16, 2012March 11, 2013 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life48 Comments

A little past dawn
Light invites itself
streaming through
the window
Feeling the stare
my eyes open
only to realize
night has bid farewell
Dreading
getting out of bed
and the biting cold
when toes touch the floor
I pull the covers over my head
Bodies warm and cozy
A duet, all snuggly
lying next to my hubby
Daybreak can wait
I’m not willing
to greet
the chilling
hour
just yet

Happy Friday the 13th (and misc)

On January 13, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Life43 Comments

Oh the woes of being sick

Oh the woes of a runny nose

Oh the woes of constant sneezing

Well, I guess that’s how it goes!

Hi Everyone,

My family and I have been sick this week,
so, I’ve been trying to read your wonderful posts,
along with juggling work and family life,
and trying to get healthy again.

Anyway, from LScott to You,
Happy Friday the 13th!

🙂 🙂

FOOLISH LOVE

On January 10, 2012August 30, 2014 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Poetry65 Comments

I let you claim my dormant heart
with light concealed behind the dark
I missed deception in your eyes
transparency didn’t show your lies
A connection was felt, deep, deep inside
how could my emotions act so unwise
I lie here, cold, with rolling tears
a naked soul, wrapped in fears
Stripped of my being, I was so blind
to not have seen the flashing signs
Let it rain, let it thunder and pour
now torn in two, my mind’s at war
Burning embers dying, all because of you
precious time wasted, crying like a fool

(Fiction)

Versatile Blogger Award – A Humble Curtsy :)

On January 8, 2012 By Lauren Scott, AuthorIn Nominations & Awards44 Comments

Dear Fellow Bloggers,

I have been nominated for the VERSATILE BLOGGER AWARD, again, by myemilyrose.wordpress.com & alizaswindow.wordpress.com.

As I’m always stunned and humbled, I graciously accept this nomination by these two wonderful bloggers! Please take the time to visit them, if you haven’t already! Thank you so much to both of you!

The rules are as follows:

Thank the award-giver and link back to them in your post
Share 7 things about yourself
Pass this award along to 15 recently discovered blogs you enjoy reading
Contact your chosen bloggers to let them know about the award

Seven things about myself;

1. I am truly a romantic (this may not come as a surprise to you all)

2. I enjoy reading romance, suspense, mystery and poetry, but I need to work on time management!

3. In my late teens, when I thought I’d become a professional singer, Barbra Streisand was and will always be my vocal idol and favorite female vocalist.

4. I strive to do kind things for people, even if it’s so small, like giving a hug or smile.

5. Organizational skills are a strength of mine.

6. I love winter and the coziness it brings; fireplaces aglow, candlelight and Scentsy warmers permeating the room. (Scentsy warmers are fragrant candle wax warmers)

7. I believe in forever love. (another surprise?)

Now, it’s time for my nominations and this is the hard part, simply because it’s so difficult to choose. However, these bloggers all have wonderful stories to tell through their writing and photography. Some of them, I’ve known for awhile and some, I’m still getting to know! Either way, their talents have touched me and made my life richer! I encourage you to visit them and be enlightened! Also, if this nomination is a repeat, please do forgive me!
