Parallel
While everyone else slumbers and sleep avoids us
The subconscious connects to the universe
With an energy that flows smoothly
Mystically
As if the synapses firing at high speeds
Are working out equations and conjuring hypotheses
Based on years of trial and error
Maybe it’s a parallel realm
Reaching out
They’ve figured out the kinks
While we’re here finding ourselves back at square one
Perhaps it’s the spirit
Reaching deep into the subconscious
Pulling up a bucket full of resolutions from the well of memory ...

Becoming...
I’ve been here before.
In the shadows of doubt,
Where dreams are whispered, not shouted,
Where the weight of yesterday presses so hard,
It suffocates the breath of tomorrow.
But I’ve learned…
That growth doesn’t happen in comfort zones,
It happens in the cracks of your heart,
When you step out, stretch wide,
And dare to grow in the places you’ve never dared to see.
It’s like this:
The seed, buried in the dirt,
Doesn’t dream of the sun,
It feels the pressure of the earth,
Of everything trying to hold it down. ...
In the shadows of doubt,

Where the weight of yesterday presses so hard,

When you step out, stretch wide,
And dare to grow in the places you’ve never dared to see.

It feels the pressure of the earth,
Of everything trying to hold it down. ...

Melt the Frost
Sometimes we lose our minds
Trapped between two walls colliding
Feels like you will be crushed
A war between two sides are fighting
Crash and burn just like a car
Explosion within, the world's on fire
A hose is needed to put it out
The situation is getting dire
We try to make it out
From the depths of hell below
Lost in an endless maze
Nowhere for you to go
Trapped beneath the waves
Held down by all your fear
Afraid you will lose it all
The devil will then appear
It's hard to find hope ...
Trapped between two walls colliding
Feels like you will be crushed
A war between two sides are fighting
Crash and burn just like a car
Explosion within, the world's on fire
A hose is needed to put it out
The situation is getting dire
We try to make it out
From the depths of hell below
Lost in an endless maze
Nowhere for you to go
Trapped beneath the waves
Held down by all your fear
Afraid you will lose it all
The devil will then appear
It's hard to find hope ...

Velvet Knight
I wanted to be a better musician
But my insecurities had me frozen
I wanted to prove to myself that I was just a good
By my fear was making a fool out of myself
So I practiced and practiced and practiced
It got to the point that I could feel each pulse
Each rudiment felt like it was in slow motion
My skill had reached a new height
But still there was more to learn
It was when a group of us wanted to audition
That I again froze
I knew I had it in me
Just maybe
But now I’ll just never know
Instead I picked...

universe in my hands
The stars bloomed
as the narrow rivulets streamed across
the terrain of my palms;
forming islands, peninsulas, chains...
whole map of my life
came alive...
The high and low planetary mounts
on my mushy rosy manus
marked my characteristics;
planets, constellation
sun and moon
carved my fate,
once a palmist said...
but unaware that destiny lies
within our own hands
It's the neurons in my brain

Native Harmony
Here I am as I am a entity of strength and perseverance, still surviving just trying to take it one day at a time ⌚ For the elders say that we are the chosen ones who were chosen, because of our strength and courage and perseverance. TO lead as an example for the wolf pack through the process of our journeys and travels and walks. THROUGH the forest of life and in the world. 🌎 For sure we can be many things in different ways and forms of existence. For sure we have a real sense of survival instinct, for wanting nothing more and nothing less than what we need to survive. 🐺

Here's Your Uproar
Under pressure some expressions may not be at their best
It’s something we all might have struggled with
at one time or another
But to hear the uproar from a woman oh be warned…
Because aside from the bullet shells
there may be hell to pay
It’s a rapid-fire kind of life, if you ask me
One where emotion and logic try to keep in balance
But when words seem to fail what are we left with?
Bloody fingers to pick up the pieces
As if cleaning up the mess
bring us closer together

This is our world now
As I continue to stand and tolerate the treatments of society, I have to be able to decide that my own decisions are not an option, but more of a trust issue with society. For it's true that we have to learn to navigate through, the process of being aware of the many levels of changes happening in the world of today 🌍 For sure we have to learn to understand ourselves first, in making the right decisions on survival in this cold cold world 🌎 For sure we have to learn valuable lessons that will affect us in ways, that we never thought that we had to learn. For example they say...

Inner Balance + inner peace
From the deepness of your own mind and the deepness of your own life, is where your strength will find the perseverance, and the deepness of your point of relaxation in a utopia of your own sanctuary. For only you can alone touch, the deepness of your inner balance and your strength of inner senses of Peace, within the process of manifestation of what you seek. For it's true that sometimes we have to learn, to separate thyself from the negativity, in search of what we need and want in our own lives. For it's true that we are only humans of skin and flesh and blood, that we can only take...

Alone
I am alone within the remote regions of my mind.
Safely isolated from the judgmental world
where I’m an introvert. This endless seclusion
for a mortal scribing immortal words
is accompanied intimately by lasting loneliness.

Too much
I am not for everyone or anyone it seems
I feel too much but am never seen
I can’t ever change the prophecy
So they leave and leave and leave me
But the real tragedy is they never see
Until the moment we cease to be
That no one loves like me
I am not one in a million, I’m a once in a lifetime woman
I feel too much but am never seen
I can’t ever change the prophecy
So they leave and leave and leave me
But the real tragedy is they never see
Until the moment we cease to be
That no one loves like me
I am not one in a million, I’m a once in a lifetime woman

No - A Word I Can No Longer Say
I used to be so full of "fuck you"
My heart was passionate,
My mind opinionated.
Boy, you couldn't tell me shit!
The years have gone by,
And I've grown older.
Days turned to decades
Of shutting up and backing down,
Playing by everyone else's rules
Just to get by.
Nights I've spent screaming and blubbering
Into blackness
The only time my voice truly finds me
Crawling back on hands and knees
After hours and hours
Of choking on words unsaid in the daylight.
These days I...
My heart was passionate,
My mind opinionated.
Boy, you couldn't tell me shit!
The years have gone by,
And I've grown older.
Days turned to decades
Of shutting up and backing down,
Playing by everyone else's rules
Just to get by.
Nights I've spent screaming and blubbering
Into blackness
The only time my voice truly finds me
Crawling back on hands and knees
After hours and hours
Of choking on words unsaid in the daylight.
These days I...
