Erika

he said he couldn’t breathe,
so they took his last breath

I’m so sick of feeling like it’s never going to stop. It needs to stop. It’s exhausting to know that everyday social injustice keeps happening and now that something is being done about it, everyone is ******. When I can raise my sons and daughters and not fear for their life. Only then, will I be satisfied.

warrior

And every time I look
into the mirror, I see a fighter,
proud of the fading scars, that grace her heart,
the one you turned into a warrior

Kind

Poison in my mind,
my heart isn't free,
love hasn't been kind,
was it only to me ?

worlds

I live in two worlds,

one in my head, a fantasy,
a world created by my words,
a get-away, an escape from reality,

another, the authentic actuality,
a stark contrast to my verses,
in disparity with the picture in my head,

of how it's supposed to be

Senses

The creak of a spine
And scent of a musty page
Intoxicates me

fallen crown

My traitorous heartbeat,
just won't slow down,
tryin' to be discreet ,
with my fallen crown.
