These days are becoming more tiring
The word, ‘strong,’ is no longer in my vocabulary
I wonder what it feels to not have sadness in your heart
What does it feel to not fall apart?
I’m told this is human but if this is how living feels
I wonder if dying feels like heaven
Because right now, here on earth
This feels like a living hell
Hope everyone is doing well and happy new year!!

Standing in front of me is proof that love does not exist
That when love isn't expressed to the body
The body will decay and become a walking corpse
I am slowly decaying as I keep pushing love away from me
Afraid to become open and admire the compassionate that is being shared with me
Shared for me
But standing in front of me, my reflection, is proof that love does not exist
Does not exist to broken souls like the reflection that stands in front of me
I feel perfectly fine but when I stand in front of the mirror, seeing my reflection, I can see the decaying already starting to happen

When does the sitting in the dark stop?
When does the feeling of being a burden stop?
Can someone please tell me, I’ve been seeking answers for a long time
I will finally like to come to peace with the loneliness that rests in my heart
When does the loneliness stop? Does it really ever stops?

Trauma Inspires
The trauma that once haunted me, now inspires me

I forgot what you smelled like
I'm afraid one day I'll forget you
I successfully fooled everybody
Saying that I moved on!

But I keep returning
To our moments together!
Reliving them,
Wishing I never left you
It's about one of those lovers in our life which we never seem to forget no matter how hard we tried or how long it's been!

Death to the naivety is easy as they don’t understand
But death to the understanding is just a on going cycle
A cycle we cannot break
A cycle that comes as a surprise but is expected at the same time

Exhale Your Mind
i'm not a slave of compliments.
I won't overdose on injections of racism.
The only addiction i have it of the melanin in my skin.
My heritage is not a sin.
My womanhood has always been the evidence of excellence.
My faith is not a bad habit I need rehabilitation from.
If discrimination was a drug i would be high every day
