Poetry
As Johanna has juggled marriage, motherhood, and life over the years, her chronic health conditions have often made themselves known in a loud and unwelcome manner. Naturally this presents a number of challenges, which often leave her feeling like a bird trapped in a cage. She chooses to deal with this by using poetry as a therapeutic release. Even when dark undertones appear in the poems, the reader should bear in mind that Johanna continues to stumble forward one step at a time, fueled by coffee and her family's love.

Dear Life
Dark jagged shards
Of sheer impenetrable rock
Reach up to the sky
Like clumsy daggers
The universe toys with me
This mountain
Was designed to defeat me
Once, it might have succeeded
But.
Not.
Today.
