In foster care...
At thirteen, I was in foster care...
out in the country with a kind older couple
named Hank and Ellen who never abused me.
I was fed three times a day! I always finished my plate.
I had a room of my own...first time!
They bought me new clothes that fit me
and they were always clean and smelled outdoorsy.
Did I mention they never abused me?
I could run and play. Stare at clouds. I helped
collect eggs from the chicken coop. I had a kitten named Tiny and I even had a favorite tree!!! Nice!
NO ONE HIT ME OR TOUCHED ME THERE! Nicer! ...

We all have a want and need
😔 Yet I am not alone with the silent whispers of the gentle winds, blowing through the air conditioning my thoughts, as well as my spiritual entity. For sure there is nothing between us, but the sounds of the crystal water falls off into the distance. But yet as I am deeply reminded, of the words once spoken by the elders. 🙏 THAT no one is sent to you by chance or accident, to be apart of your life. 🤔 For during this life we all have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the truth of nonsense. 🤨 That we all must face it in mind and thoughts, and...

A Bloom in the Ashes
I was a garden left untended to and under nourished.
I became a place where wild shadows darkened, as weeds tangled tightly around my roots.
A place where thorns grew sharp as glass piercing anything in their wake.
The storms had come and the winds stayed,
Breaking my branches, stealing all of my resilience.
I forgot what it meant to blossom.
I forgot what it meant to feel the sunlight nurturing my soul.
Yet deep within all the fractured pieces and tainted soil,
Beneath the weight of grief and time,
A seed of hope stayed...

What would you change
For sure what would you do if you, can change your life from then to now. 🤔 For sure what would you do if given, a second chance to do it all over again. 😔 For sure what would you do differently, about the trails and tribulations, that has changed the atmosphere of your life. For these words of wisdom and enlightenment is necessary, to understand that what you had to go through is a terrible thing. TO no doubt that change your way of thinking, about your feelings and emotions of what is right and wrong. 🤨 For sure we will make mistakes along the way, that is apart of...

Self Hatred (An Overflow)
Why am I so stupid? What the fuck is wrong with me? Nothing works. I ache so badly, an everywhere ache that’s cold at the center and boiling at the surface. I hate my body, I hate my face, I hate my personality, I hate my soul. I wish someone would just kill me so I wouldn’t be left to sit in the mess I made. I can’t do anything of worth, I can’t express my feelings well. I’m mean and selfish and loud and quiet and fucked. I hate how I hope too much, I hate how I can’t feel angry at anyone but myself. I hate that I can’t cut it out of myself, amputation of the emotions. I hate my eyes, for...

I Am That Horror Show
I was called out and rightfully so
I haven’t been myself
Which I see my actions show
I should be better than this
And cling to the good that I know exists within
but in my low, the devil attached to me
and trying to be polite
I opened myself to the carnage
And lately I’ve not been right
It’s sad to feel you wish me harm
but an angel can only take so much
I can feel the curse upon me
That anxious twisting in my guts
The past three months
have been brutal
creeping toward that milestone age,
and all...

I am my biggest Confidant
When I look in the mirror,
I say that I am her and she is me
A true goddess to the common eye, is a sight to see
Whether, it is my ebony skin, that shines with the help of the sun
To create the perfect overlay for me
Is it my almond shaped brown eyes that can put you into a deep hypnosis
When you look into them, it may even turn you into stone, no Medusa
I do not even have to do that much to seduce you
I got the curves that will never go out of the line
That the sculpting of my breasts are truly deemed other worldly...

The Little Steps
I was talking to my caseworker today. He encouraged me to write my story Free. And I did do that. And I ended up crying and thought finally! I'm releasing some emotions pent up in my body from years of repression and hiding away from myself.
I'm so thankful for him. He's a way better source than all these articles or videos saying the generic be positive speel. Because when I try to be positive, it ends up backfiring. I end up getting more mad that I'm saying something I honestly don't believe and end up hurting myself.

your hand print shouldn't be so indelible
Tell me I'm worthless
without telling me I'm worthless
I watch you eye fuck
other girls on the street
while you avoid holding my hand
though I haven't kicked the habit
of reaching for you
"fuck, she's so hot"
you smile at me
with a cruelness
that sparkles in the last light
of the afternoon
I look past the leggy blonde
to the sex shop across the street
and remember how wearing nothing
but a smile and sky high heels
used to be so empowering ...

I'm An Asshole
There was a time when all I had in me was anger
It dictated my every action
In elementary school I was a bully
There was so much feeling of powerlessness at home
I took that with me and carried it around
It boiled up in the form of a rage
A rage that was used to form some sort of empowerment
My opportunity to inflict my wrath upon someone else
As I had learned from my father
I bullied mercilessly
Taking out my frustration with my fists on others around me
But no matter how much pain I inflicted, it never...

Kill yourself on your own time, not mine
Today I received a call from a young woman
She sounded desperate
She revealed to me that she was going to kill herself if she doesn't receive her refund by the end of this week
She claimed that she was suppose to receive about $7,000.00
I asked her a few questions, for disclosure purposes
I accessed her account and discovered that she's been trying to scam additional money for children that aren't her own
She's been doing this for several tax seasons
On file, notes and history have been recorded, explaining that she threatens suicide to the representative...

Hole
I’m not sure what I was thinking
as she stung my nose with alcohol
placed on that blue clamp
found my perfect sweet spot
though I was just relieved to know
part of me had one amongst
my external prickle
my girl laid her palm on my hand
as a needle went through
I sat amazed that five years
of questioning this piercing
was reduced to no tears
no flinching
just a quick pinch and it was done
while I glanced in a mirror
