• A Plan For The Soul

    Warlocks and creatures spun a scheme:to steal a man away from his soul.Devious and quiet, the plan took shape. A friend hid in patience, waiting for the perfect hour—the night when the lowly slip into shadow. He watched to see if the seed he’d sown would take—the seed that grows only rot, the seed that…

  • Black Hole

    I’ve been in the hole.Was sure it was a black, endless pit—or was it a hole of opening?An opening to a mindI was too scared to explore. A hole I was afraid to jump into,feet first.One sudden move, and everything could go wrong. This hole took a toll on me.Everything around me began to crumble.I…

  • The Lies I Love

    Now I look at you differently. Lies poured from your mouth so easily— Lies that kept me bound, Lies that made me weak, Lies I was too blinded to see. The betrayal lingered long after you left. It was there from the very beginning. Tell me, how am I supposed to feel? Like I knew?…

  • Poetic Reflection

    Self-sabotage…Do I hate me?Where is the loveI used to cradle myself in—The fire, the passionthat once danced in my eyes?Where did it go?Where is it hiding? I feel lost.Unseen.Un-everything. My soul carries weightthat words can’t hold.I try to listen,to quiet the storm in my head,but the noise is loud,and the silence is louder. I stand…

  • The Art Of Becoming

    There’s a moment in life—our lives—where the world feels like it’s stripped away everything we knew, leaving nothing but silence and emptiness. The walls we once leaned on crumble, and we are left with nothing but the raw, bare earth beneath our feet. And yet, we stand. We’ve learned to rebuild not in grand gestures,…

  • Learning To Love Me

    It’s always someone else’s fault when you stop loving yourself. It’s easier to blame others, to convince yourself that you can’t fix it on your own. When life doesn’t go your way, it’s always because of someone else. You become a victim of their words, their actions, their failures. There’s always an external reason why…

  • When Rain Felt Like Home

    For two years, I was away from home—pushing myself into spaces with people who would never care for or respect me. I placed myself, my husband, and my children in a town that didn’t fit our world, our peace, or our growth. I didn’t want to go outside. I couldn’t see myself there except in…

  • Ashes Of a Marriage

    There are no more emotions left for you to hurt. Nothing you say or do will ever make me love you again. You broke me for the last time — the final lap around this miserable track called marriage. I tried when I should’ve walked away. I stayed when I knew I should’ve left. I…

  • It Just Won’t Be The Same

    I used to run from anything—and anyone—that didn’t fit the story I told myself. I accepted being the hated one. The one never quite enough in the eyes of others. The one they disrespect without pause or guilt. I’m that girl—the strong one. The one who always gets through, no matter what. So who cares…

  • Just Thinking….

    We will never win in a world that was never built for us. A war not rooted in justice or truth — but in what we lack. Inside. Outside. They say there’s more than one way to skin a cat. Right? In this world, they’ve skinned us more times than we can count. And still,…

I’m Schanntel

Hello, I’m just a woman who has worn many hats to support everyone around me. But now, I’m on a journey to rediscover me. For so long, I’ve put myself last—sometimes not even on the list. I’m learning to laugh again and mean it, to speak freely without fear, and to reconnect with the version of me that got lost along the way. This is my time to grow, heal, and truly live—not just exist. Getting to know myself isn’t just the next step… it’s the most important one.
