box cutter in hand
23 of 30
I will no longer participate
...in the grand illusion
not going to walk someone else's definition
...of the right path
it's too monochromatic
their truth doesn't fit me
their idea of normal...
...invalid in my universe
I'm tired of being compartmentalized
boxed in
trying to squeeze myself into their ideals
attempting to shrink my dimensions
struggling to be big enough
unsuccessfully stretching
...attempting to reach their unrealistic shelves
I'm done
time for...

rock on!
22 of 30
the fight has just begun
because...truly...
I know I just heard you wrong
"just sit down
don't rock the boat"
seriously...
do you even know me...
clearly we've never met
hello...
how about an introduction
born under Cancerean skies...
I am a water baby
swimming in the womb
driven by the Moon
I know I look like still waters
but I'm a turbulent ocean
which makes me...
...a wild card
I'm not concerned about rocking
{or even capsizing} ...

As a woman
As a woman who has been blessed with her own strength and courage and perseverance, where does your true strength come from, deep within you as you go through somethings that are out of your own control. As a woman that has been blessed, with the ability to adapt to your situations always, figuring a way out to make life better for those around you. 💗 FOR since the beginning of time, as a strong woman it was only you and your faith that held the family truly together as one. As a woman that sometimes, have to wear a mask as a disguise, to hide your weeping eyes when it seems...

I Have no fear as I believe
Have no fear when one door 🧧 closes another door shall open 🚪 for that's the true cycle of life. 🙏 For sure there will always be lots of trials and tribulations, having you asking one important real question❓
How come I can't find a door 🚪 to open in my favor 🤨 it's not that I've haven't been trying desperately, to gain access to have a better future 😞 for myself to have a brighter future for my family of dreams. Yet still I keep trying to gain access but to my surprise, I can't find a door 🚪 to remove the limits of...

"Roots and Resilience
I come from the soil—
Deep, thick, rich—
Roots wrapped in stories,
Stories that echo through the veins of time,
Through generations,
Through pain,
Through survival,
Through power.
I come from the struggles of ancestors,
Whispers of wisdom in the wind,
Echoes of their strength in my bones.
They were the ones who turned chains into gold,
Who turned pain into poetry,
Who turned tears into the foundation of freedom,
So I walk heavy,
With the weight of their sacrifices.
But don’t get it twisted.
This...

teeter totter progress
2 of 30
right where I am
not this place
...but this me
where I stand...
...& sometimes slip...
constantly moving
through my unending evolution
it's a momentary station
a pause in the journey only
I both love & loathe it
wearing disappointment...
believing so few obstacles
have been conquered
{tunneled vision...}
beaming with pride...
at the realization
of how far I've actually progressed
{unearthed mirror of truth...}
I celebrate the victories ...

Keep Going
Pain is never ending, life is ever ejecting unfair circumstances at you, step up above the rest and feel the discomfort of prominence against a tide of turbulent time
Tied into draining oblivion, trying not to drown before the plug is completely pulled free
Skin sheds away with further resilience, this life – such a sardonic pardon to the soul
Realities inside realities, Dionysian escape unfurling banners of joy, yet always with the backlash lest you bite too hard in throes of ecstasy
Beaten down to an abject pulp, self-terminating freedom, how much...

Lasso the Sun
The rider rides
With rage and passion in his heart
Over golden hills and across the plains
Across the great breath of land
Through realms and domains
Ready
To capture the sun
His untamed spirit and will
Has no time for menial things
There is a flame to catch and a force wield
As he gallops into the distance
Willing to conquer the day
Ready
To seize the sun
He chases the fire in the sky
Without wings or propellors he flies
His horse racing against time
Leaving a plume of...

Cruelty is your middle name
Most people duck reality. Reality is a river with a fierce current. You can try & resist but the current won’t stop. It moves faster & stronger then you ever will. People give in. People have to many vices that blur their vision. Most people accept what it is and never go against the mainstream. Swim up the mainstream, go against what is the norm and what is being force fed to you. Living life this way takes perseverance and determination.
Society, civilization, language, just living day by day, people are tired. They don’t have the strength to make change. This is why so...

Never doubt thyself
Let's just keep it real as writers of pen 🖋️ to paper 📜 for sure let's stop doubting our talents as writers of unspoken words, for sure that is our calling as much as it is our power of knowledge and wisdom, and our experience to be able to share and articulate with thoughts and feelings. For example sometimes we are artist that are painters of a picture and sometimes we are singers 🎤 who sing to a different beat of a beautiful Melody. For sure what ever is your true spiritual potential will be revealed to you, for sharing is a blessing as it is a gift of...

Galadriel's Choice
Silent hope beats in the heart,
mixed with the fear of failure,
for valiance is proven in the art
of preserving loyalty in the behaviour,
when tested amid seductive trials,
the domain of inner strength,
then weakness battles in denial,
seeking excuses, while one repents.
Galadriel stood by the well
that predicts doom of the races.
As if a mirror beyond mere spells,
true teller, not of fortune, but of faces.
She wanted to ignite within
the spark of higher immortality,
not innately, despite all sin,
but...
