Broken, to what looked beyond repair,Flowers withered,No bloom in sight,Lost sight,Of who I was, and most importantly, whose I was.To what looked like a dead end,A life sentence,A permanent drought,The end of every hope, every dream and all imagination.Broken!Memories that traumatized,Anxious thoughts,Unsettled mind,Did I……….? Didn’t I……….?Lingering.It got cloudy, It got dark,Who was I to stay…… Continue reading HEALED

Camouflage
At some point, your true colours come out. The one you want to please is nowhere to be seen No longer cares whether you live or die. And that sets you free. Free to be the monster you have always been. Your claws become more evident, The wolf finally retires the sheep’s clothing You are…… Continue reading Camouflage
Rest Easy La Luna
Rest easy la luna, Everything is under control, When your eyes have welled up, And your tears are just about to fall, Take courage and a few deep breaths, Mirror my emotions, though the world suppresses yours, Pause, while your silence speaks for you in ways that words could never, Not every thought needs finishing,…… Continue reading Rest Easy La Luna
Overcomer.
Pushed to the curb,Dragged through the mud,Thrown under the bus,To be run over.Could it be fate?Could it be karma?Is it coincidence?Or just my luck?The heart of man.The thoughts that fuel.The memories that linger.The betrayal that stings!Hands clean,Heart pure,Mind clear,Conscience Clean.We live to tell the story,Our redemption,The overcoming,Truly becoming.
20 something and curfew
one day here and gone the next, but even this realization won’t stop me from overthinking, even through those long days, what I needed most was a curfew, to lock down and relax, a cup of milk and ice cube to chase it, a lazy chair in the front yard to make direct eye contact…… Continue reading 20 something and curfew
I don’t like you
I don’t like you I don’t have to like you I don’t hate you Hate is too strong a word Too toxic an emotion I just don’t like you Your values do not align with mine Your attitude leaves a bitter taste in my mouth Your thinking really is screwed Your feeling of entitlement irks…… Continue reading I don’t like you
SHEPERD
The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want, Wanting has never been up for discussion He is Jireh! The struggle is not walking through the valley of the shadow of death, Really, I fear no evil, But the evil disguised as angels, It’s them! They who you go to for comfort, They who you…… Continue reading SHEPERD
Billowing Waters
dangling in front of the possibility of life and limbo, with legs akimbo, nothing to offer, let this be a lesson, be like the billowing waters that roll, gliding in endless motion, cascading one over the other, for every rise and fall, for every gentle sway, there is a timeless dance, one that memories cannot…… Continue reading Billowing Waters
Centuries Past
Through many years of darkened history, Times plagued by the reimagines of the human mind, Rewritten histories of blatant untruths, Yet to (re)conquer we must pay OUR dues? What’s ours is theirs, they said, what’s theirs is theirs, So we didn’t have it any other way, Get mugged with a smile on ya face, If…… Continue reading Centuries Past
The Hourglass
Time seemed to slip through my fingers, With every waking moment, Time was but a fleeting guest, A sharp reminder that trying to take space was my best bet, Being as loud as possible in a crowded room, To be heard and not shut down, And when I come face-to-face with regret, Tensions will only…… Continue reading The Hourglass
