My mother always told me that words don’t mean shit But I’m a writer so doesn’t that change a bit? I make people feel I make your senses run wild and free like…what white privilege must be… Like I take you back to emotions you forgot you had And to memories you didn’t even haveContinueContinue reading “What is in a word?”

Get To Me
When your day has been rougher than our slave ancestors hands and feet When you can’t think of a single positive thing When the world has you beat Just get to me Make your way to me so that I can wrap my arms around your frame Simultaneously absorbing all of your painContinueContinue reading “Get To Me”
Good Love
We dream of it. We imagine what it would be like. We fight with every fiber of our being to construct it with the wrong people, leaving us scarred and bitter…damaged. I suppose I’ll begin by elaborating on the effects of desiring good love. At times, we give good love and expect it in return.ContinueContinue reading “Good Love”
Affair
From the smoothness of your feel, To the way you make my thoughts become real From the moment I lay my hands on you, My emotions flow. You give me the go. I give it all to you. You give me security. You give me closure. Even when I feel myself drifting, You bringContinueContinue reading “Affair”
Emma
I spoke with a woman today, That was yearning to be home. She was a complete stranger to me, But my soul cried right along with the tears falling from her eyes. I had to hold her. I had to attempt to temporarily keep the pieces from falling as she caved in-front of me. Home…ContinueContinue reading “Emma”
Impatient Queen
I said that I was sent here to love. (For You) At the ripe age of 23, I scream, “WHAT THE F-!!” I’m tired! I’m tired of giving my whole self because that’s who I am, down to my core. I mean, let’s face it… My mother and father didn’t birth a half-asser in theContinueContinue reading “Impatient Queen”
Muse
“I might buy her flowers. But if I love her, I’ll write her a story. After all, what good are flowers when you can create a universe just for her.”- Unknown If you ever are brave and wise enough to unconditionally love me, understand this. The basics will never shake me. If you buyContinueContinue reading “Muse”
For You
I was sent here to love. To knock you down with compassion and empathy. To capture you with just how understanding I can be. To grab a sledgehammer and start breaking you free from the unhealthy cycle of a shitstorm you grew up in with fears of taking it all on with no help. ToContinueContinue reading “For You”
Moving Figures
That must feel amazing- being those two souls in the midst of multitudes of people who seem to block it all out. Blocking out all of the noise…the many lives, agendas, and journeys that pass them by. They stop amidst the chaos. Locking eyes, they make time in all of its tenses stand still. PerhapsContinueContinue reading “Moving Figures”
Of Acceptance and Joy
Since I can remember, I’ve always felt this substantial pressure. A pressure to be perfect. To be this spectacle. To make everyone happy. So, that’s exactly what I did. I lived my life for the appeasement of the people of which I surrounded myself. My happiness… My wants and needs being met? None of theseContinueContinue reading “Of Acceptance and Joy”
