Breaking Free from Judgment: A Heartfelt Perspective

Daily writing prompt
What does freedom mean to you?

I don’t think anyone likes to be judged, especially by someone who doesn’t know you. Everybody is different. Even twins are different. Everyone is special, and I don’t believe we should judge another person based on anything.

I find that I have to catch myself being judgmental of others, and I put myself in place. The good LORD up above didn’t put us on Earth to judge each other. Only HE can judge us and I feel with all my heart that – that is what HE will do. It will be fair and personal for each person.

I love to share my songs on this platform and one song I wrote that most resonates with me is a song called “Fear In Me”. I hope you will listen to the lyrics and tell me if you can relate. It now has 104 views on my YouTube channel, so it must resonate with people. Won’t you please listen? I will put the lyrics below if you would rather read it.

I build dreams from paper and ink
Then tear them down before I blink
Set my heart on something new
But second-guess what I should do

I chase stars just to lose my way
Speak my truth, then hide away
Climb the hills, then doubt the view
Lock the door and lose the key too

Clip my wings before I soar
Knock on hope, then close the door
Chase a dream, then pull away
Fighting battles I create

I'm the thief who hides my light
Hold myself back from taking flight
I'm the ghost of what could be
Caught inside the fear in me

I turn silver into dust
Question those I want to trust
Paint my world in shades of gray
Then wonder why the colors fade

I'm the thief who hides my light
Hold myself back from taking flight
I'm the ghost of what could be
Caught inside the fear in me

I stand at the edge, but don’t take the leap
Sing myself to sleep in secrets I keep
But maybe one day, I’ll break the chain
And step outside into the rain

I stand at the edge, but don’t take the leap
Sing myself to sleep in secrets I keep
But maybe one day, I’ll break the chain
And step outside into the rain

Step into the bed of a battered ‘84 GMC and ride along with Mr. Crazy Rummagesale Man as he sings the story of Old Blue—his legendary yard sale truck with more heart than horsepower. Bought from the local bank in 1994, Old Blue survived 150,000 miles, two transmissions, and countless roadside repairs. She never had air conditioning, but she had spirit—and now she rests with a tree growing in her bed and all four tires flat, guarding the legacy of a thousand hauls.

🎶 This gritty Americana rock anthem blends dusty slide guitar, storytelling vocals, and true-life nostalgia. If you’ve ever loved a beat-up truck that kept you moving, this one’s for you.

And she is also for sale. I have more pictures if anyone is interested in buying her.

If you heard this song, would you want to read the story and to hear the rest of it?

LAVA BENEATH OUR BONES

I saw him ride through whispering trees,
A ghost in velvet, a prince in dreams.
The wind held still, the forest sighed,
And something deep in me came alive.
He didn't speak, he looked, then rode—
But left my soul with fire untold.

When he rode away, I felt the lava stir insi

The ball was bathed in candlelight,
I danced in mask, lost in the night.
His hand found mine, our rhythm slow,
He saw my mask, not what I know.
He whispered dreams with every spin,
Unknowing who danced close to him.

But in his arms, my fire grew - he felt it too, he never knew.

But oh, we had to fight the flame,
Bound by bloodlines, not by name.
He, a prince of ancient stone,
I, a girl the world disowned.
We burned beneath forbidden skies,
But love won’t bow to royal ties.

My Nerves are Totally Shot!

Woke up this mornin’ with a twitch in my eye,
Coffee pot broke, and I let out a sigh.
The dog chewed the cord to the internet box,
Now I’m sittin’ here talkin’ to a wall and a clock.

Bills are stackin’ up like laundry I forgot,
I'm one bad mood away from losin’ the plot.

My nerves are totally shot, I swear I'm barely hangin' on,
Feelin’ like a rubber band stretched way too long.
I laugh, then I cry, then I shout at the sky—
If one more thing goes wrong, I might just say goodbye
(to sanity, not y’all—I ain’t goin’ nowhere).
Yeah, my nerves are totally shot, and I just don’t care.

Some folks say, “Girl, just breathe and relax,”
But I’ve tried that, along with bubble baths and snacks.
The washer's broke, the cat threw up on my shoe,
And my voicemail’s full of things I still gotta do.

I keep smilin’ like a pageant queen on cue,
But inside I’m screamin’ like a kettle about to spew.

My nerves are totally shot, I'm a mess in disguise,
Tryin’ to hold it together with duct tape and lies.
I laugh, then I cry, then I talk to the wall—
If one more thing happens, I might just lose it all.
But till then, I’ll sip this tea and plot...
‘Cause my nerves are totally shot.

Don’t need a vacation, I need a padded room,
Or maybe just a quiet night with no sense of doom.
Give me one day where nothin’ goes wrong—
Till then I’ll keep singin’ this broken-nerved song.

Yeah, my nerves are totally shot, and that’s just the truth,
I’m a tired soul in stretchy pants, losin’ my youth.
But I’ll laugh, then I cry, then I throw up my hands,
And hope the good Lord above still understands.
Life’s a lot... more often than not—
Yeah, my nerves... are totally shot.

So, one day I came home, and after a hectic day at work, I came home to this! I thought it would be a good song. I have never heard anyone out there ever put this to words and I feel that it is my obligation to put things into song that nobody would even consider singing about.

You’re the Best Deal of My Life

How do I love you? Let me say,
Through every find, through every day.
From flea markets to Sunday drives,
With you, my love, my heart still thrives.

I loved you when the world seemed wide,
Through trailer hauls and deals to find.
Through laughter loud and moments small,
You've been my greatest prize of all.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

I loved you in our younger days,
Through all the dreams, through all the maze.
From "Look what I found!" to "Just one more,"
You made my life worth searching for.

I loved you in the quiet nights,
The stories shared, the wrongs made right.
Through winding roads and steps we've climbed,
My love grows stronger every time.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

We’ve built a life, a love so true,
Through ups and downs, we made it through.
With every joke, with every sigh,
You're still the twinkle in my eye.

No map, no plan, just you and me,
A love as wild as it can be.
Through every sale and every find,
You're still the best deal of my life.

I will love you still through every year,
Through every joy, through every tear.
Side by side, through thick and thin,
I'd choose you over and over again.

Through every storm, through every mile,
Your hand in mine makes it all worthwhile.
After all these years, through thick and thin,
I'm still right here, just like I've always been

April Day’s ~ Just a song to celebrate the month of April

April starts with tricks and fun,
April Fools’—better watch out, everyone!

Celebrate life in a special way!

April’s the month where joy is found.

World Health Day comes—take care, be strong,
And hug your pet on the 11th, all day long!
Then we cheer for books on the 23rd,
Grab a story—let your imagination be heard.

Every sunrise brings something new.
From Earth Day green to Easter delight,
April’s got something that feels just right!

Tax Day’s here, but don’t feel blue.
Then Earth Day comes, let’s plant some trees,
A greener world, fresh air to breathe.

Pajamas to work, on the 16th, why not?
Superhero Day, go save a spot!
World Penguin Day—so cool, so neat,
Then Dance Day comes, just move your feet!

Every sunrise brings something new.

But every day, there’s joy to gain.
So mark your calendar, don’t delay,
And celebrate each April day!
