An Untitled Poem
I spend too much time jousting at windmills with people on Twitter
with those who are equally angry and bitter
The only reason I don't give up life without a fight
is because I still have my ability to write
I am like a lost kite in the wind
only the Lord know where I will be in the end
My body's signs still all read vital
but, in my mind I am a poem in search of it's title
with those who are equally angry and bitter
The only reason I don't give up life without a fight
is because I still have my ability to write
I am like a lost kite in the wind
only the Lord know where I will be in the end
My body's signs still all read vital
but, in my mind I am a poem in search of it's title

I Don't Win
Effortless, that's how I function.
I don't remember what they taught me in school.
History is just old gossip.
Spanish is just English's neighbor.
Math and science...
I fear the name.
How do you do it again?
Again?
What's the definition?
PE is a contest of gods.
I'm not even a demigod.
Brain and body are my weaknesses.
I thought I'd be dead before I graduate.
I don't remember what they taught me in school.
History is just old gossip.
Spanish is just English's neighbor.
Math and science...
I fear the name.
How do you do it again?
Again?
What's the definition?
PE is a contest of gods.
I'm not even a demigod.
Brain and body are my weaknesses.
I thought I'd be dead before I graduate.

I define.
a sort of teetering
on a precipice
insight and clarity
from tired meek
to almost fully heard
Oh to roar
allowing for unselfish focus
doubts drift
stresses of unsure
or insufferable insecure
s l i p a w a y
silent bursts
of all that's etched
to marvel in
hard fought, learned
permeate from inside out
i glow in raw iridescence
a fresh breeze mixed

I am disjointed and awkward
my sideways smile is uneasy and tentative
blue searching souls of the restless for understanding
if you ask me how I'm doing I will lie
it seems I lie a lot
portions of me are deeply hidden
I often wonder where my soul has gone
the me I know that the world knows
my voice sounds the same
but my inner voice has changed
i listen intently to her, this stranger
I can't reconcile this is a part of me
a side of me I'm more comfortable with
I talk with our creator
he tells me they are...

My Own Way
I like to think
I'm the woman
God created me to be
Although it wasn't always so.
Throughout my life
I've stumbled and
I've fallen many times
Still I kept on trying
To better myself
To become the kind
Of person I always
Hoped I would become
With the help of God
I've come a long way
From where I've been
Seeking to be more like Him
I'm the woman
God created me to be
Although it wasn't always so.
Throughout my life
I've stumbled and
I've fallen many times
Still I kept on trying
To better myself
To become the kind
Of person I always
Hoped I would become
With the help of God
I've come a long way
From where I've been
Seeking to be more like Him

wells
are my eyes
wells
driving to the back of my skull
and can you see the dead floating
i draw this up and ask you
will you drink
if it is poisoned
it is not by me

Be Great
I want you to be happy
I want your eyes to light up like the skies do during a warm summers night in the backwoods overlooking the mountains
I want your heart to flutter and your excitement to overflow like a child’s sprit when they finally get that reward for being...simply great
I just want that...for you
I took the brunt of it all
Overcame the obstacles and battled within my being on and off throughout the years
Told myself that this form of love is an honor a privilege to even experience
My soul...

Penny for your thourght . . .food for thourght
The Pastor sings in notes quite high.
Hymns that the crowd dare not pass on by.
They sway in unison transfixed in Sunday bliss.
Hands clasped as upon their troubles they silently lament and reminisce.
Whilst mothers and fathers frown, eyes closed in undulated devotion.
Children scatter to wooden floors, imagination and wonder in motion.
Tracing make believe pictures with chubby fingers
and exploring every nook and cranny for lost treasures.
Little eyes in various colors of splendor
Grow wide with sparkling wonder.

a discovered worth of all things.
ethereal skin in exquisite
lavender shaded hues
velvet petal'd
securely found
within a layered curl
O' tightly
this bud is bound
rich in tantalizing
scented flare
whimsy in glisten, fair
ease and caution
a dichotomy of love
is spark'd
in a floral heart
never forgotten
a stare
of uniquely gaze
reflecting back a beautiful face
sensing of such pride
an unfurling in full grace
wishes upon dewy crowns
pierced by ardent thorns
as a proven beloved ...

Violent Zombies
Ticking time bombs with over exerted consciousness
Underrepresented in the grand scheme
Some people get frustrated and take their personal pain out on others or themselves
Lock their feelings away
Then display the “Brave face,” as it’s called.
Our biological Battery life drains with each waking moment, but when the charge is focused within, what is the ratio between positive and negative?
I wanna address my folks for a second, cause Black people really don’t mess with mental health at all.
