[ Spiritual ] in tending to my garden
if what I have been living
is a lie going on several years
now --- it's with gratitude
for this wonderful life
taking root, choking out
and replacing truth

[ Spiritual ] get out into the real world
don't wait for your death to celebrate; life
spent learning lessons the hard way
is far more deserving of a rewarding
graduation party rather than any
funeral you can't even attend

Body Love Letter (Rupi Kaur Tribute)
Dear Body,
Thank you for giving me a body that is only mine
And no one else’s. You are taught to be skinny
Or curvy because there is no place in between.
Why should it ever be a boy or man to intertwine
With to make your soul more whole? It is a pity
To be taught you need a man’s love to be a queen.
You are no one’s pit stop or someone’s temporary
Home. Thank you for your kindness and for carrying
Life into tomorrow as well as for many years to follow.
You deserve a multitude of rest when you...

they come and go
i am stuck in this strange world
of having to grow
pains come and go
like sunflowers open and close
sprung into life by an ever-present sun
willing me on
but i’m not really stuck
it’s just a phase
though I’m afraid
one phase leads to another
and to the next
and so
i simply walk prepared for the pains
to come and go

Failings in love
When he failed you the first and the second
you were forgiving
When he failed you the third and the fourth
you were in love
When he failed you the next and again
you were unconditional
you were forgiving
When he failed you the third and the fourth
you were in love
When he failed you the next and again
you were unconditional

[ CC ] [ Politics ] side ways
you may consider yourself
skilled in the art of presentation
but framing pictures to the masses
as opposing forces at work
only illustrates yourself as
the one who needs to perpeuate
division

Pain # Rupi Kaur
My pain it paints a hue
Each stroke my beings canvas
Graffiti spray and wreckage
That is, life drawing classes

Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur pt. II
for the girl with the lovely curves and all the insecurities
you are a beautiful miracle
for the girl with the scar-covered wrists
you are good enough
for the girl who loves too deeply even when they're not deserving
you deserve so much more
for the girl who flinches at her own reflection in the mirror
look a little closer
for the girl about to throw herself into the darkness
open the blinds, let in the sun
for the girl who goes to sleep each night hoping for a brighter tomorrow
you are not alone
-...

Competition Piece : Classic Corner Tribute - Rupi Kaur
i wonder if roses experience
growing pains
do their thorns cause them such agony
they think of giving up?
but then again
how can a thing of such beauty
ever grow without
a little effort?
- the rose and her thorns
