OVERCOME
Within sleep, unspoken scars
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile
And words kept brief
Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return
Lies a corpse of hope resiled
That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...
All that's left are bleak memoirs
Plugged the wounds with every smile

Laid to rest beneath the dirt
In a land I'll not return

That haunts my dreams
Ripping through the calmest scene
There's a storm that beckons me
This malice from darkness birthed
'Round every turn
In these halls that ebb and flow
Every person seems to know
The same emptiness that burns
Each gaze averts
All reasons aside
Something in me...

Beer and Cake for Betty
Her ferocity
has been
the shield
for her fragility
My girl, Betty
Her talent oozes
drips right
off the page
as she applies
her makeup
to cover her
heart bruises
her body and words
weapons of destruction
sisters in solidarity
in this war of
love, lust and trust
some days it feels like
the end of us
but carry on
we must
The battlefield
strewn with bodies
battered and bloodied
her white flag torched
My girl, Betty
heart in tact
defeat...

Let Go.
I just put my hand over my head and thought,
There's so much to the hand than the hand itself,
What if it was cut off and grief sets in,
Consumed by anger and succumbed to sadness,
All the days you took it for granted, now it is separate from your body,
You yearn for the attachment...you take a look at it, taking it closer,
Touching yourself, smelling it, seeing it for what it is, the softness,
The uniqueness of each finger, the beauty of your nails, femininity of your thumb,
The feeling is intense than when it was intact.
In your memories, the...

I will conquer this mountain
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain
even though I feel pain
I will conquer this mountain
to prove I am worthy
I will conquer this mountain
till no one remains
even though I am broken
I will conquer this mountain

The Importance of the Right Woman
Thoughts of you, woman,
stir love in your man's soul
Memories of your presence bring forth feelings
Powerful,
Bold
There is a fire burning inside your man
which keeps him moving ever forward
A God-given imperative to profess, provide, and protect
It is your presence in his life
which gives focus to his method
And gives reason to his madness
It is what you do
and who you are
that bring peace in the heart of this man
Doing what comes natural to you is the cure for what ails him ...

Snow Globe Syndrome
Little girl lost, lost her way
Desperately broke free from her cage today
She lost count of herself along the way
Packed up her memories and walked
away
Born to a family of evil origin
Baby girl was never even given a chance to begin
The toy discarded and thrown back in the bin
She waited for a kind of love that was never given
A roof, some clothes and food to eat
Bonds not formed, neglect on repeat
Held down from becoming complete
How could they so callously mistreat?
She became...

Do the righteous blessing
It's not that hard to do.❓😔 For what you want and need to do, is just do that is a righteous thing, to do with your commitment and a real CONSISTENCY. For example it's not that hard, to do to improve that what you use to do. 🤨 For sure there will ALWAYS come a time, when you have to learn to grow up and put away, the MIND 🎮 GAMES 🤔 FOR WE MUST 🤨 know by now that what, you want and need in a real relationship, base on your own personal goals in your life 😔 For sure don't you think that you can, change your life only if you change your...

My American Tale
Income dipped then credit tripped over obstacles
Got bold in survival mode and learned to hurdle
I'm not Fievel but this reveals my American tale
The pursuit of higher levels has retail shops in HELL
Determined to prevail and excel by any means
A Soldier and lifelong learner staying on my dean
Fiend for knowledge, knowing the best college is life
Where the admission toll is toils of turmoil and strife
An institution rife with barrels & shovels deferring degrees
Instead of conferring, it's offering nights on our knees ...

Don't be afraid, to take a walk
JUST SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT 🤔 Don't be afraid to take a walk away, from the negativity and drama, and confusion and madness. 😭 Don't be afraid to go to SOME unfamiliar paths 🤔 For sure they can lead to some difficult pathways. 🤨 YET MAYBE to a place, that you would never imagine, 😇 that it does exist in a far away place. 🫂 For sure you will never know what is waiting, for you at the end of the road 🛣️. Something that you been searching and seeking, to be apart of each other's life ❤️ For sure we will never know, if...
