I saw a comment on a FB post about an 18 year old that accidentally ran over one of his favorite teachers and the man approached the vehicle while it was moving, tripped and was hit. The comment “But do you throw em in jail cause someone still died?”, after acknowledging the trauma one mustContinue reading “Poetry – Grieving Justice”

Poetry Series – FOR EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LIVE THROUGH
My mind has been riddled with controversy lately. I’ve been learning to tight rope. Tiptoeing the line between what needs said and what can be put to rest silently. Some things demand they get off your chest so, I’ve been post dating them. A good reveal is slow, sexy. Laced with both fun and seductivity.Continue reading “Poetry Series – FOR EVERYTHING I NEVER THOUGHT I’D LIVE THROUGH”
Poetry Series – We Don’t Call It Slavery
I remember a time in my life where my dad would get really hostile as white people were actively supporting and speaking on correcting the still existing racism in our country and the presence of white privilege.

Poetry Series – Salvation
(W)holiness has been haunting me since every Christian person I loved pointed out that I* was not enough unless I’m willing to chip some of myself off.

Poetry Series – New Moon
I hate to break it to you – I know you’ve been off thinking I’m special or something but… I am just like other girls. They, we, are fucking magical.

Poetry Series – Butt Dial
I’m revisiting everything. Asking if the anger I’m holding still has a home here or if we’re ready to let it go. I’ve been shedding a lot lately. Banking on changing seasons, a whole new me. Hate is the enemy of grief. Keeping the toxicity alive within our body. I wonder why you’re calling butContinue reading “Poetry Series – Butt Dial”
