I'm Not Sorry
Since I've been on Meetup again, I've been going to a support group that is incredibly supportive and helpful. I notice often times, when someone speaks and wants to add something, they say sorry. When they cry, they say sorry.
Well, I'm not. I'm not ever gonna say those dreaded words again for things I don't need to be sorry for.
No, I'm not sorry for showing emotion that society encourages me to repress.
I'm not sorry for needing to scream.
I'm not sorry for my rage.
I'm not sorry for being myself.
Ever again.

Tipping The Tables On Her Past
Numbness wallows, a welcome gift
Once a vibrant soul, a hapless shift
Love forsaken, she couldn’t get a grip
She left her mind at the door and took a decades-long trip
Chaos ensued, she sunk further beneath
Her heart unraveled and fell off her sleeve
Her shrieks turned to wails as she fell on her knees
Gray skies darkened as her life became void of peace
Blow after blow bloodied her resolve to stay sane
Until the day she declared never again!
Underneath her armor it’s the truth that remains
Five years later she’s no longer in...

Limited By Human Connection
Got on Meetup again to go to that support group that I had troubles with just to see. The same host was on the screen of the zoom meeting. I looked away, no false smile. I was hoping it wouldn't be her.
I did not think I was being treated fairly, but I still go to that victim blaming of thinking of what I did wrong. Because I am the monster. I am the one who deserves to be outed. I think so deeply about right and wrong because I want to know if I'm ever doing anything right. Nothing ever feels good enough...
She said sorry I'm not allowed to come back and that I'm upset...

Grace .
When you are at your weakest that is when
you need to be superwoman or superman
and battle away .
One day you don’t feel so bad and that’s coz
you tried . I think people are mostly magic ✨for being who they are . Life can be hard and most times nobody says how they feel.
I mean you don’t want to be the odd one .
Life can be pretending yes I am fine . You got your
pink pop lipstick on or your precious jewels but you
can’t smile and mean it .
We are all bloody mad if you ask me some of the time .
It is like...

the future as irony
The Future as Irony
If we try to look ahead, say ten years when ex-president Trump sits in a cell in Arizona sent by Elon Musk, who rules the world and has an army of all-seeing AI officials, people will wonder why Trump lived that long, living on burgers and Pepsi Cola, concluding it is a long-life diet they too must live by to become very old.
They don’t know that Elon Musk, the Titan planted a chip in Trump’s brain to keep him alive showing us he has no hard feelings against the man, who got him sacked in 2025 from a job he had taken delight in because there had been many...

She Was Never Alone
She was seven.
A little Black girl in a world too heavy for her small frame,
Too sharp for her soft hands,
Too cruel for a heart that only wanted love.
She didn’t belong...at least, that’s what it felt like.
Floating through her own life, a ghost in her own skin,
Scared. Lost. Disconnected.
The nights swallowed her whole,
Darkness pressed against her like an unwanted touch.
The world wasn’t safe.
The monsters weren’t just under the bed.
They had keys to the front door.
Spoke in whispers when Mama wasn’t home.
Mama was always...

Shadow Dancing
I live with myself full-time
The perception of others
Is temporary, a pit stop
Dancing in shadows has ceased
How my life is interpreted
Is no longer my business

Perfectionism
From a young age
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me
I was terrified
I would reach my full potential
And there would be nothing left of me

Coward
What it is?
To say, To Confess,
"I Love You."
A Feeling ?
A Statement ?
State of Being ?
Let me tell you,
My Love.
It is an act of bravery,
To Confess,
To Say, that,
"I Love you",
In the world of bravehearts,
My Love,
I am the biggest Coward.

Tumbling Object
Oooops slip and fumble.
My hand reaches to catch it.
Tumbling out of my grasp.
In slow motion I watch it fall.
Through its parabolic arc.
I see the images as it rotates down.
Recognising it as a Favorited mug.
Emotional attachment floods over me.
Iridescence warm feelings as well.
Memories strolling home.
Via the park behind her home.
Were I found this now spinning mug.
First a ping, which sounded ok.
Then a bounce, followed by a thud.
A resounding crack, not so good.
Several other...

It’s a bit dramatic, innit?
Could it be twin flame
Diagnosis: insane
I’m unfit for this game
Mediocre chair
Floor laid in shorn off hair
I left a candle there
Eyes stare into mirrors
Judging his reflection
Swallowing the darkness inside
Rising for the masses
Kneeling upon ovation
But who catches the tears that he cries?
My darkened skies hold lullabies
Sung from a tongue that isn’t mine
It’s a tragedy, but I’ll survive

Sunflowers
Take me back to a place where I thought
only good things grew like sunflowers
bursting with colour and hope.
Positivity and light looking to crack out
the happiness from their roots to their
petals of vibrancy all yellow and mellow.
For no reason coz that felt like it.
Life in its purest form.
All it took was raindrops and the sun
and some storms that they weathered still
standing tall . They didn't make anyone
feel less or more. They just grew despite it all .
