Knowledge Of Observation

Differentiation. Loss of creativity within life’s immeasurable expectancy. Emotions that are dispersed and considered broken. Worth that derives from one’s self without the appearance of a token. Reasons within what has been spoken. Pigments of skin that seek no advisable devotions. Harmony that is natural. Creation that is consentual. Vague representations. Stature’s that resemble correlation. Arguments filled with hate. Things that are not for everyone’s respective flavourant taste. Words that can carry circumstantial weight. A…

Parental Advisory

I wish for the day it sustains its entity entirely. It is always indentured and has no sustainability. I have traveled from house to home. I have grown mentally yet I am still not strong. I have yet to find a residence where my feelings feel free to condone. What I once thought were emotions that I had longed for, happened to be something that I shall not experince at all. I fear of returning…

The Fighter

Like the celestial mind I am a fighter Not just a survivor Like the Black Hole which rejects defeat The Black Hole vs White stars The White stars start to fight but start to bow as they are beat As my heart pumps my blood and fills my body with warmth I close my eyes I put in the effort I don’t accept defeat Gravity The brain of the Celestial Body How it whips it’s…

As Plain And Unique As I

By admin | July 3, 2021July 3, 2021 by admin

Every time I see a reflection of my body, I see a war. For every victorious battle and nights filled with laughter and beer, For every time I see beauty in my body, There will always be lost souls and early graves, There will always be a spot on what would be considered ugly tainting the picture my reflection paints. I know that every time I feel at home in my own skin, I will…

Embodying The Universe

By admin | July 3, 2021July 3, 2021 by admin

I was once told I am the universe It’s body and it’s mind I’ve existed endlessly Through every moment in time And in that second I was puzzled I saw myself as much too small And though they tried to help me comprehend I couldn’t help but think them false But then I looked into mirror And I saw planets And stars And then I blinked And as fast as they came They were gone…

In The Dark

By admin | July 3, 2021July 3, 2021 by admin

I see you as the nest I use when love birds are hungry and need a stop to be fed I see you as my home and often times my home’s a mess inside and out sometimes its spotless, but just on the outside on the inside, there’s a burning candle I’ve left on so that the smell of my insecurities don’t fill up the room so the flame can shed some light on my…

Throwing off this weight as I prep to balance the loss. Not caring what others think since only I know the cost. Everything I’ve lost and everything I’ve gained Weird how I’ve recently fallen in love with the growing pain. Training, framing, affirming that this is all for me stare down that mirror and finally loving what I see. ME. Years of self-loathing and shitty self- talk… I always covered up yet you would never…

I want my self esteem back I need my confidence back I want what belongs to me I demand it Years to develop and own And just like that stolen Forcefully taken By Social media Magazines Beauty standards I will never again be silenced for The anatomy of my body: My curves, in the eyes of the world developed before it’s time The color of my skin and it’s different shades of brown I call…

Planting My Desires

By admin | July 2, 2021July 1, 2021 by admin

I plant my seed of confidence beside the tallest tree in the world Hoping that my confidence will one day grow as tall and perhaps taller I plant my seed of confidence beside the tallest tree in the world So one day I can be strong enough to withstand the judgments of others I plant my seed of confidence beside the tallest tree in the world Learning by example to be proud of my roots…
