In love I won't live One dimensional gives And this stage repels Vertical summit Cleave of immortal surrender Before he? Destitute blank Immediate end So as a painting falls alone Inside I will ponder Seas speak in parting No more hiding I'm wanting And regressing beyond the first bite of words in a fight The news Hurtful I'm confused Come back The combat The combat of coming in second My words haul pain don't they? I've seen living lunge through Thrown out It has to be good news Nothing's happened yet I only got to words And walked into the paint If I make it back to you welling up I swear to be confused You're no longer than my musing But sharing is going to blend me I'll be leaping without speaking from now 'Till I draw, you hear

Unafraid Fall
In I am adapting Exists Two times, the more Another letter taken Misspelled, heartbreaking And tied in false But pre tensed The exchange and Raffle of No, not epiphany A harpsichord On tour Exuberance, devout Silence of mirrors They've come out And about to steer A ship mailed by Friends out too Defend my coverage This refiled accusation A band dawning In calculation The lost pursuits Haggled in dispute me verse Still softened in Tribute To hear

Yes I Am Part Of You
She came to me with heavy eyes, a story of love turned into lies. A boy had broken what she had built, left her standing in shadows of guilt. But queens do not crumble, they rise from the ground— I took her hand, and I fixed her crown. I told her: *“You are fire, you are gold, you are the story yet to be told. No boy can dim the light you bear, your worth is endless, beyond compare.” So lift your head, let sorrow fall— you were never small, you were always tall. And when the world tries to drag you down, remember—queens adjust each other’s crowns.

take two,   and let   the cameras roll—   flip the script,   you tried to   rewrite the blame.   but the lens   is cracked,   the angles don’t lie,   and this story   won’t end   the same.   let’s move past   the charade—   acting only works   until the mask   falls away.   we’re both   to blame,   but only one   kept staging   the pain.   i could pretend,   but this is   the end—   a close-up   on the fallout   of the reckless   and the brave.   take two—   lights,   camera,   reaction.   this is my scene   now,   my cut,   MY flame.   and you   can’t steal   the spotlight   from me   again.

Acrostic Writing: HAPPINESS
My clothes My body My identity These are not reflections of me They're extensions of me

Extension, not reflection
The simplicity of this  will blow your mind. Nothing leaves this plane/t. When you die your body decomposes and becomes soil. The gasses and liquids in your body evaporate and become air wich goes back up into the clouds. From conception every drop of water your mother drank and every fruit or vegetable she ate, came from the clouds and soil that nourished her. From birth you are made up of these cells from those cycles that will forever recycle until the end of time. You drink the same water that fell on this earth at the beginning of its life. I do believe in a soul and spirit. But you can now see. YOU ARE EVERY PERSON YOU'VE EVER MET.

You are every person youve ever met.
Early morning birds chirping Singing melody’s of peace Looking out into the forest I see beauty in your face Africa has a smell that no one can erase A smell that echos love into your soul Life so simple, life so inspiring and incredible Don’t believe what the discovery channel told you about a land that existed before any other Africa the mother of the earth Birthing billions of souls who left it but still live in it It’s blood runs deep in our souls Skin shades might change but our roots are deep Within When Africa cries we feel it’s pain When Africa smiles we rejoice with pure joy Colonizers tried to change it but it changed them They stole its music, passion, material good, it’s minerals, traditions, and norms Taking even its greatest queens and kings Tribal men and women They tried to **** its joy but it still smiled through the pain Enslaving it’s people still couldn’t **** it existence Africa Birthed in resistance and molded by resilience, inspired by diligence, fueled by consistence We are strong, powerful, and courageous Africa the birthplace of the human race With our palms pressed let’s say Grace As we pray for peace

See I never understood The kind of humor they posses, They make jokes about hate crimes And call a man gay for wearing a dress, And I never would have thought That these people could make such a mess And then tell us To clean it up Like it wasn't them. Always falling for the bad guy Because he never got a chance, And ignoring what's wrong with him Until we’ve got blood on our hands, And I never would have thought That he could make such a mess And then tell me To clean it up Like it wasn't him. They always ask us to smile But they never understood, They tell us we belong in the kitchen But if they were us they never could, They say “go wash the dishes” Just like a woman “should”. See I just don't understand The kind of humor they posses, They make jokes about **** And shame the sizes of our chests, And yet we continue to praise the bad Over and again, These girls’ minds were stolen at the age of ten. They’ve taught us to close our mouths And they tell us to shut up, We were raised by the same women Who would never give up, We painted signs, We said our speeches, But I guess it's just bad luck, We can't change people who refuse To grow up And I never would have thought That these people would make such a mess, Just because she's drunk It doesn't mean its a yes, Why has it been so hard to get this through their heads, “Your overreacting” Let's all invalidate her feelings instead.

I Never Understood
Work the bread and the butter to the bone, Let it penetrate your pores, Become your very blood, A part of your soul, Emerge a hero of your own. Because if you’re not then who? Who, Who, Who, who will be your own? A true part of your heart. Work the bread and butter to the bone, Be the magic you speak of so, Have it become your flesh and core, The vital part of your all, Emerge victorious on your own. Because if you’re not then who? Who, Who, Who, who will be your own but you, Who will be the fuel but you, Who will have the power but you? Don’t lie to the single being who is a must for you to have a life, for you to have it all, Emerge a… Emerge vic.. Emerge a… Emerge vic… You know thyself too well to lie.

the person that reflected back in the mirror wasn’t the same person she used recognize she turned into a stranger when she spoke the voice that came out was different the clothes that she wore didn’t rest right on her bones. though she was unfamiliar with figure she saw everyone around her could see the transformation she made. questioning how she got this way. but knowing that she could only grow from there.

Meet me in the kiss of angels, where I hide the treasures of eternal life. Meet me in Heaven at midnight, Lord God. Come and You shall see me naked, my soul is evaporating in the skies and made one with the light of Your majestic love. How gratifying are the churches where my prayers hide, they suffused my floral flavours and made my love one and the same with the absolute.  Let the celestial kiss take a bath in our imperial delight. My angels sink in Your golden graces. Let me fly in circles to paint the portrait of Your beauty. Let me fly till the end of times and then come back on Earth.

God's Lips Of Love
Beauty for me was measured by numbers and shade. The shade of my skin. The number on the scale, the size tag on the shirt, the number of compliments and the number of likes. Social status was defined by the number of followers. And I myself defined through the eyes of others and opinions. But beauty was so much more. It wasn’t all about being beautiful. It is about the words you speak. It is about what you read and watch. It is the cerebral stimulating conversations you hold. It is the way you burn heart with brilliance and engulf heart with compassion. It is the sweetness in your laughter and the humor in your quirkiness. It is the things you stand up for and the things you love. It is the way you are random and weird. It is the way you sow your own garden and give flowers to yourself and others. It is the way you lose yourself in your passions and the way you’re so driven to your goals. It’s all the intricacies of your heart, mind and soul. For there is beauty in all the little things that made you, you. Most of all there is beauty in the way you see, love and care for yourself, because all along you never needed to convince anyone or fit in to the words written to be beautiful. And accepting yourself for the person you are is the most empowering and beautiful thing you can do.
