POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I've been inconsistently writing for a few years. I often write about my personal experiences, mental health, love, growth, and societal issues.

Realization
Your Beauty is A Fountain That Runs Much Deeper Than Skin
Our Society Values the Physical Appearance of Love
Striving to Be in A Happy Relationship
We're Unwilling to Invest Our Time and Commitment to Specifically Just One Person
We Don't Realize We Continue this Pattern of Hurting Another
The Lack of Awareness in Different Experiences and Willing to Use Sex as An Excuse
A Title Doesn't Have Meaning Unless You Understand You
We Need to Stop Pretending We're Less Than Who We Are
To Make Another Person Happy
Because At The End of The Day We're...

Settling
I Am Beautiful
I Am Strong
I Am a Wise Black Woman
My Past Made Me Who I Am Today
The Heartbreaks, Crying and Heartaches
Led Me to See What Type of Man I Need
Women often Give Second Chances
To These Unfaithful Men As We Continue
To Remain Loyal
We're So Indecisive On If We Should Leave or Stay
Hoping That He Would Change
But Us Women Don't Recognize Our Own Worth
Because We Don't Know What A Real Dude is Like
Don't Let Your Insecurities and Self Doubt Determine How You Should Be Treated
Heart Ache and Pain is...

A Possibility In This One Chance With You
Scared of All That Came With You
Scared of Change in You
Hoping to See the Best in You
No, I Don't Want to Blame You
We're Both Scared
Thinking Neither One of Us Cared
Scared of You
Scared of Life
Scared of Trust
Scared of Change
Nor Do We Realize How Much We Need Each Other
We Hold So Much Value
We Fit Like A Puzzle Piece That Need Each Other
But I'm Willing to Stay
Only If You're Worth The Fight
My Petals Have Fallen and Now I Healed Up Once I Met You
Don't Get Confused With Lust Because You're Scared to Trust ...
Scared of Change in You
Hoping to See the Best in You
No, I Don't Want to Blame You
We're Both Scared

Scared of Life
Scared of Trust
Scared of Change

But I'm Willing to Stay
Only If You're Worth The Fight
My Petals Have Fallen and Now I Healed Up Once I Met You
Don't Get Confused With Lust Because You're Scared to Trust ...

Endless Love
My First Love Was Everything All At Once
The Kind You Never Fall Back From
Never Try To, Never Want To
Our Love So Big, So Strong, Never Dies
Never Fades, Never Loses it's Electricity
The Kind of Love You Fight For
The Kind of Man You Value and Need
The One Who Knew I Was Meant for Him
The One Who Knew He Was Meant for Me
Our Endless Love Continues To Be Endless
Striving for Growth and Rapport
I Adore Your Smile and Confidence
Regardless of My Mood
I'm So Happy to Have You
And Able to...

Escape
We Often Run Away to Hide Our Pain
People Think We're Insane
According to All The Decisions We've Made
Unaware of The Battles We Fight
Every Person We Meet, Tends to Leave
Whether It's A Significant Other, Friend, or Any Other
We Get Use To This Routine of Having Hope And Failing
We Guards Our Hearts
So We Don't Fall Apart
Desperately Hoping to Pick Up Where We Left Off
It's Difficult to Make A Change in Our Lives
We All Know It's Easier to Stay Than It is To Leave
So We Don't Feel Lonesome and Neglected
What We...

The Flower That Bloomed
The Torn You
Becomes a Healed You
Which Creates a Renewed You
A Stronger You
A Happier You
A More Confident You
Your Past is What Shaped You
Understand That You Found Yourself
And That You Can't Be Compared to Nobody Else
Your Spirit Has Grew Almost Two Feet
People Who Were Considered Your "Friends" Couldn't See
That Those Who Are Watching Can't Wait Until You Hit Concrete
Be Aware of Those Who Aren't Praying for You
Or Motivating You
Because Those People Should Be The Ones...

Dark Heart
You Never Knew How I Felt
Because I Was Scared to Trust You
I Once Wanted to Say I Loved You
But I Wasn't Sure If You Were Gone Leave Me Too
I Told Myself Over and Over
Don't Make The Same Mistake Again
Wondering Why I Let You In
Now My Emotions Are Caved In
I Rather Keep Building My Wall
Than to See Myself Fall
For The Same Bullshit
You Claim to Say You're Different From Them All
But I Say, I Am Beautiful and Worthy
And If You Don't See That Right Here
Then I Need to Prevent You from...

Live Life
You Become A Master of Your Life
When You Learn to be Independent, Understand,
& Accept All of your Mistakes & Lessons in Life
It's Okay to be Self-Sufficient
But Understand Throughout Your Journey
You Cannot Do it All on Your Own
Value Who & What You Give Your Time and Energy to
& Those Surrounding You will Support You Regardless
Allow Yourself to Grow
& Find your True Self
Find your Happiness
& Find the True Meaning of Life

Lord, You're Amazing
Lord, your spirit has influenced me in many ways and has allowed me to use my burdens to guide me to my bridge. Your love has been faithful and has shown me to trust in you and lead the way. We often tend to wrestle with God's trust instead of believing that our blessings are already there, we just do not see it. Your troubles is a sign that you're on your way to be creative to reach your destination. Struggles mean you are in progress and be aware of those you surround yourself with because everyone you start with, doesn't mean they'll finish with you! Happy Sunday ❤

Discovery
I Am a Bunch of Flaws Stitched Together
Hoping to Never Let Anyone Pull the Seam
But Only I, Because That is When
I Finally Accept Being Me
When You Love Me, You Accept All That Comes with Me
The Pain, the Dirt, and All My History
I Am Not See-Through nor Can You Walk Over Me
Just Understand Behind this Cover
There is Definitely More to Read
My Cuts, My Wounds, My Terrible Scars
Are the Most Beautiful Stars
Glowing in this Beautiful Heart
We Often Don't Know Where to Start
Especially After Being Torn Apart
But Don't...

Normalize
In today's generation everyone wants to be that normal girl
The girl with the smooth skin complexion
Lip injections
Wide hips
Slim stomach
The perception of being that perfect girl
Takes so much effort
That us women begin to forget who we are
Forget how to love ourselves
Instead we degrade others because we're jealous
Although the truth is the lack of compassion and confidence in ourselves
We now have to snatch someone else's confidence because it's eating away our soul
Women should love their shape and skin
Those flaws and all...

My Daily Fight
Mentally ill
Physically ill
Either way it's a sickness
Tiring
Loss of motivation
Fighting to just crawl out of bed
Tryna avoid the words in my head
Damn it's a shame
People aren't aware of the fight
That you battle with every night
Although you lose your hope and sight of positivity
You are full of fright
Hoping for it to end
Desperately trying to stop crying
Depression and anxiety got the best of me
Smiling on the outside
Little do they know that you're crying on the in
No...
