Heartbeat
11-1-20
I inhale this green
Exhale the hate
I feel my heart
It’s starting to race
I turn to you as the mood shifts
You’re right there with me
As we finish this spliff
We lay back and enjoy the view
It’s Netflix and chill time
But I want you
You want me too
It something about you and this green
This time and this scene
As the adrenaline pumps this blood to my heart and brain
My chest is bumping
Heartbeat racing
There’s no rush we’re pacing
Taking our time
Let’s get this nut, we’ll be alright
Aftermath is always the same
I made you wake up
But it was too much
You zone out
As you drift away
Heartbeat claims a slower rate
Minds in a calmer state
You’ll be gone soon and I can’t wait.
This is how we casually date.
Wind
11-2-20
It was the spiritual awakening hour
I arose from a dream through divine power
This dream was so obscene
Something that could show up on a movie screen
It was horrific to say the least
Unfazed I just release
The control and my body reaches its limits of horror
Convinced that I could have stayed longer
I began to notice the faces of my tormentors
As they grew uneasy at my indifference
They started to realize I was not scared
They realized I would not back down
They saw me trying to get out
I froze as I met her gaze
Stone cold as I read the rest her face
She didn’t belong there so along she goes
And as I took my last glance at the circumstances
There were others around me
Looking to me as if I had done something
It was also honestly as I was the one who appeared
I came and went because at first I was working
From there I was here
I can’t remember the rest
As I reconnect back to consciousness
I sense that I feel crowded
I cleanse my sanctuary
I clean the vicinity
Recollect the Zen in ambience
Time to walk Ian
The wind blows and the chimes play a harmony
In that dream I knew why no harm was done to me
God has shown his presence
I regard him in awe inspired reverence
Clarity
11-3-20
The Lords mercy has spared me
He displayed the depth of the sea
Part of which none could see
It’s all true what they say
The truth shall set you free
In truth you can exist with glee
For you won’t have to withhold who you want to be
Let me tell you something about me
Today was a different day
I did not write the poem at 3-6 am like the previous two
Today I had writer’s block
Before I could even allow my mind to mock
I was already shutting it up
It will get done
Here I am with my mind on the run
Seeking what brings me clarity
Today’s word seemed to be scared of me
Keen with Clairvoyance
Despite this petty annoyance
Here we are …
Sometimes I just want to get in my car
And drive very far
Life has left me with scars
Just want to pack my things and au revoir
Running away won’t fix what’s within
I ask God to search in my heart
To remove all that displeases him
I wait for this clarity
As I pray for peace and prosperity
Tweeted
11-4-20
As the birds tweeted
I wake up still sleepy
I have yet to decide if I want to stay
Whatever, Time to start my day
Time to pretend I’m okay
Time to walk the dog; he wants to play
Defeated by his face, things go his way
Things aren’t that bad
I’m just sad
And it’s simply how I feel
Just really want to find something real
I have so much love to give
But everyone I meet just makes me relive
Things I’m trying to get rid of
Things that make me feel unloved
Different person same attack
I’m numb to the fact
That you’re not coming back
But fuck these options
I rather stay single
Pray to my God who replenishes my twinkle
Makes me jump back and I’m ready to mingle
Then someone gives me that tingle
He makes me laugh and I giggle
But after that, he becomes fickle
After that everything changes
Oh I can’t say nothing just leads to stupid exchanges
Of words back and forth
And no longer can I feel your warmth
Left out here in the cold
Back to living my life on my own
Back to the nothing I have at home
I’m just tired and I know it
Don’t know how to quit
I love love and I want to own it
If only someone knew how to commit
I’d actually submit
Pack my bags and just dip
Leave my past as it sinks
He pushed me back and just winks
As I fall to my death I just blink
Spoke too soon, he said jinx…
Holy
11-5-20
Holy is your name
There is no one to blame
There’s no need for shame
You are as good as you claim
As I continue to dive into your word
I’m anointed with power it’s kind of absurd
I start to spread the word like haven’t you heard?
Growing a passion for you as I serve
You have taught me to discern
You are the one for which I yearn
You are the one who heals my heart
You are so capable, you’re so smart
You take my lifeless heart and press restart
You shut out any righteous remark
You provide a shelter and place to feel
You’ve restored me and added zeal
I lust for life and it’s unreal
Every time I level up I jump up and squeal
Even if the past is brought up
You shut it down and it’s appealed
Holy is your name
I call you Lord
I call you God
You are my friend
You are my love
You bring me what I need
And when I bleed
For you I plead
And with the speed
Again I’m freed
For you told me that if I give it to you
You will follow through
For you told me that if I let go
You will glow
You let me know
You show Me how to flow
It’s with you that I will grow
For I will reap from what I sow
Carpet
11–6–20
I hate carpet
Let’s get some hardwood instead
My heart has turned cold like the Arctic
They just tryna see my legs spread
This one’s not for the fainthearted
Countless things I want to forget
The way that I’m going: uncharted
I pave my own way with my pet
My options they stink like some armpits
Lord please bring a king to my bed
May he bring me that gas then I orbit
And he better give me good head
Traditional please with the courtship
And never leave a thing unsaid
All others fall back cause you forfeit
Once he show up all I see is red
So stop it, I move on ahead
Get money, that gas and I’m lit
I worked hard for all of this shit
I keep moving cause this isn’t it
I just checked it off of my list
But anyways I hate carpet
Let’s get some hardwood instead
The past left the present departed
Making room for the future I’m lead
By the highest of all he is God Sent
His son is returning again
He trained me through all of my hardship
He said I passed all of his tests
To the victory is where I’m transported
His arrivals announced to the rest
Didn’t you hear the trumpets
Make way for he is amidst
Witness this
Sculpted
11-7-20
She sculpts herself
She’s gorgeous
Sometimes she doesn’t see it
I stare and marvel at her beauty
Her essence and aura
I watch her transform
She rises from the ashes like a Phoenix
A warrior ready to fight
She yearns for more
Inspired despite of the damage
Impacts people in passing
Her eyes awestruck with passion
Reads people with cosmic action
Her visions stay causing reactions
Spirituality reaching its maximum
As she is sculpted
She releases pieces
She uplifts her soul
The old her, she lets go
She lets her go
dot dot dot
“Unfinished thoughts”
11-8-20
•••
Some time was bought
It’s all we got
Let go of the havenots
Give thanks for what we got
When you count it, it’s a lot
•••
I soar in my cloud
It’s a nimbus
Hovering through the crowd
With the quickness
Hitting everyone in my way
It’s a hitlist…
•••
Get his dick wet
Make him miss this
Pussy in his face
Make him kiss it
You too big, Runaway
He just hits it…
•••
I’m a MF queen so just face it
You saw how my pussy gleamed
Hers was basic
You put in my spleen
So abrasive
Lady in the streets
Just the day chick
Freak in the sheets
My oasis
You could never be me
Let’s just face it.
No, you don’t
11-9-20
“I miss you”
No, you don’t
“Yes I do”
It’s not true …
Let me shine a light for you
Because your mind is dim
You met me on a whim
But you’ve left me kinda grim
This poem only tells a trim
Since you actually took a limb
And no, I don’t despise you
But don’t insult my intelligence
I loved you with an emphasis
But after all the blessedness
You hit me with the recklessness
Followed by the negligence
And the selfishness
Your love was venomous
Gifting me energy that produced helplessness
So now I shall leave
And let me be
For you let me see
How life would be
Living separately
Either way I survive
And I will thrive
Cause You thought you’ve come to own me
But now I can tell you, No, you don’t
And you never did
We tried again but we never win
And on a whim
Our spark grows dim
The ember slowly burning out
You give out a last shout
But I’ve already left
At the end of your last breath
I sing a hymn
And give it to the wind
Used tea bags
11-10-20
Drinking my tea this morning
Used tea bags in the garbage
My stomach is here starving
I muster up all my courage
Need to start the day
In my bed I want to stay.
•••
I started, and I feel a different way.
I feel like somebody.
I feel like I can create the change I want to see
I would to encourage you all to live like me
In the sense that you strive to be happy
With all that you do
Send out the good vibes as they arrive to you
Trust me it will all come back like season’s greetings
Soon you’ll be filled and stuffed
Abundant with love yes it’s a must
For you to feel fulfilled
For you to be free
I pray and I manifest
That you find your glee
May you find your niche
Which leads you to be rich
Because life’s a bitch
But not always
So you have to live for the days
That produce Sun rays
In your heart
Yeah, That’s a good start
And like an art
You will transform
And you will see
That life’s more than what it used to be
All it takes is a shift in your paradigm
Much love and stay blessed
Go live out your life with a resounding YES !
Walk the dog
11-11-20
Ode to Ian:
Ian is a being
Ian was going to be named Damian
But he’s a dog
They respond better to syllables of one
He’s really like my son
I got him when he was young
3 months old
He had the perfect soul
But he can also be an asshole
His fur is a mix of tan, black and white
He has a smile and it’s so bright
His dad was dark and mom was light
And he was the runt
Just a tiny little one
Born August 11 2016
Came into my life that November
You were so calm and didn’t have a temper
I took you home and that was it
However, in our time there was a split
A time where you left my life
You had to go
My soul stooped so low
I failed some classes I never retook
I eventually got you back and I was hooked
Now, I will always be here and near
Or won’t be gone long
I know your mind can’t understand the concept of time
You don’t get why I don’t like your slime
Fur everywhere I can’t get away
I have come to terms with living this way
And in my bed you want to lay
I succumbed to your face and say okay
That puppy face it doesn’t fade
We went outside and there we played
I wake up with you every morning
Your tail wagging away
I watch you lay on me like a log
In that instant comes a reminder:
Walk the dog 🐕
It evaded me
11-12-20
The importance of self-love
It evaded me
As a young girl I saw things
That I shouldn’t have seen
I existed in a world that I wanted to flee
I used think I shouldn’t be here
But that wasn’t the case
I listen to universe for a sign to escape
There’s a reason for my presence
I thought
Where’s the place to put the essence
I brought
My defenses were up high
So they couldn’t see
Complications with the outside
That invaded me
All the impact as I walked by
In my graceful peace
On the inside
I was bleeding
Still, self-love evaded me
I continued as I lead myself to self-destruction
It got so bad I could no longer function
As I look at me in the mirror I just cleaned
I’m not the same person I used to be
For a while though
Self-love spoke softly but It evaded me
It got to the point of no return
I danced with the devil
And I got burned
For me the confusion was my main concern
Didn’t know where to turn
A new way to live is what I yearned
Didn’t know how to cope
Following this path was a slippery slope
I just knew I was broken, I needed repair
I frantically searched for the answer
But didn’t know where
Soon I turned to the most high
To my surprise he was here the whole time
He was standing behind
Wearing a disguise
I subjected to him and did as he pleased
I allowed for him to search all within me
Remove all that caused him to disagree
Again self-love wasn’t there
It evaded me
My thoughts kept yelling this isn’t fair
As he patiently paved the way to get me there
After months it’s now autumn
The old me is terrified as I blossom
The storm has almost passed
I can see the sun peaking
Gaining wisdom and knowledge at last
Spirituality speaking
Now to decide where to go next
With this new found power
Self-love now living inside my chest
The old me stares as she cowers
This doesn’t remove myself hate
It just pushes it over for my sake
Soon I’ll release the old me completely
Till then I’ll live with this virus
While It’s trying to eat me
If you find yourself feeling this way too
Fight the fight So self-love doesn’t evade you!
Water flowed
11-13-20
Water flowed through my pearl
Toes stretch out and curl
Inhale
Exhale
Eyes do a twirl
Simultaneously as I reach
Past the limits you took my speech
We exchange smoldering looks
As Water flowed down your cheek
You lick your lips and look at me
All this commotion I did not foresee
I stare as you wipe your face
Mouth yearning for a taste
Not one drop goes to waste
I fall to my Zen in this place
Mind drifts off into space
•••
Water flowed down my chin
Brought you here just to win
You look to me with such Zen
You blurt out where have you been
In that moment your mind soars
Sweat dripping from your pores
I watch as you catch your breath
Caught you off guard with that depth
You didn’t know what was next
We lay back both amazed
Water flowed, it was glazed
The test results
11-14-20
You Had a baby?
Call Maury for the test results.
So Who’s the father?
Protection 11-14-20 Anywhere outside of your comfort zone is where the enemy hides It’s where the enemy waits to pry When you step out You need to watch out All that glitters is not gold As that phrase or saying goes I’m waiting for that switch inside your mind When it turns on you will wake up in time You will be staring into the devils eyes Do not be frightened for you are safe Gods protecting you in this place Stare him down to his core He won’t threaten you anymore He will flee from you, you’ll see The devil can’t stand a chance Against God almighty !!!
Just walk away
11-15-20
Remember how I said needed you to come back?
That was the last straw
You have broken all the laws
To my heart
Not too keen on this form of art
Go away now as I move on
Don’t come back
Stay gone.
Just walk away
You cannot stay
What’s done is done
I got things to do
I’m on the run
I go about as I please
So walk away far from me
I rebuke your intentions
I don’t receive your mentions
I look forward to the tension
I cause reactions like cause and effect
And you ain’t seen nothing yet
But don’t fret
Here’s the catch
I don’t hate you and that’s a fact
I forgive you from the bottom of my core
I forgive to receive what’s in store
I forgive to liberate
I do not exude hate
I manifest good things for you and me
I send you good vibes that fill you with glee
We need not to exist with animosity
I leave you behind with generosity
I don’t expect you to reciprocate
This was a message to communicate
I could have just walked away
I always have so much to say
I don’t need you to read this poem
What I sent to you is spoken
Defying laws like they’re broken
I leave now with more focus
Minds cracked and more open
And that’s just a token.
Just another day
11-16-20
I thought I was fine
But I was not fine
I just convinced myself I was
For so long
It wasn’t until I saw
My face was all like blah
It was just another day
But that day was a little odd
Imagine living your life
Day after day
One day you wake up
Realize all of the weight
Emotionally physically and in your soul
Suddenly it’s not just a day anymore
It’s doomsday
And the lenses are taken off
Cruelty lurks on the other side
Filter shifts and you realize
You’re a being standing somewhere
In time
What you’re seeing doesn’t make sense
Intense feelings make you tense
Paralysis consumes you
With its cloak of fear
You freeze in this moment
Remarking the end is near
And then you start to panic
You hear your mind close the door
As it walks out on you too
You hear the sound when the character
Has reached its doom
It’s that sudden silence in a room
And everyone, they look at you
I run to the bathroom as my escape
It’s always been the place where I felt safe
•••
My subconscious meets my cognitive dissonance
Then tries to remove it from the premises
Dissonance has set in
Subconscious now trying to make sense of it
Deep thinkers will die a million deaths
But again they will rise because
In these deepest times
We are reached by the most high
Again I commend my God for what he does
He reestablishes what once was
It’s not like he telling me to forget it
He’s takes it from me and poof
It’s vanished
•••
Going through this cycle makes me more aware
I’m back and the doom is still there
I look passed it as God smashes it behind me
So I go along in my way
Just another day
Grass cuttings
11-17-20
Dig deep into your psyche to reveal what is dark
Let out the toxic to reveal your spark
On to the grass cuttings
We are going to duel
We are fighting for everything
Destroying all that is cruel
•••
We seek justice
We seek release
Enemy is causing a ruckus
Stealing our inner peace
Invading our homes
Taking all that we own
Lives put on hold
Souls being sold
Hunger and disease
I give it to God and scream PLEASE
Lord have mercy on us all
We did not see the cliff
We’ve been pushed off of
We cry as we fall
•••
Is there hope for you & me?
We must first seek clarity
We need to be informed
Yes, ignorance is bliss
That’s the reason why I’m pissed
You live in your mind
You don’t see the times
Brainwashed and unaware
Lying asleep as if you don’t care
I’m here to disrupt your consciousness
I’m going to unveil your eyes
You’re going to wish you were blind
You may not even survive
Knowledge is power
It’s time to take action now
You’re rested and empowered
The time for war is here for thou
•••
To the devil, I say is this
You messed with the wrong bitch
This is it
The revolution inside me weighs a ton
Meet me in the grass cuttings, your reign is done
Her husband
11-18-20
He glances at me
I feel the stare
I glanced at him
Little spark there
We engage in small talk
And chemistry flows
But that ends quickly
For what his left hand holds
I don’t impose with those…
•••
Her husband looks at me
Seems like he has a void
He’s yearning for something
He once enjoyed
Why else would he search
Around for a connection
Why would he casually flirt
No sense of direction
I’m guessing he just wants attention
•••
Her husband is bold
He tries to make a move
My eyes just roll
I highly disapprove
You belong to someone else
Trying to sneak around all stealth
And I’m not a prude
That’s just plain rude
Dude go home
The wrong reaction is to roam
•••
Put that energy back into your wife
I’m sure it would be worth the sacrifice
Like imagine if she knew
You didn’t think of that did you
Or maybe you don’t care
Maybe she’s the one who lead you here
Still, that won’t make your ring disappear
•••
All I can do is offer advice
Maybe you lack perspective in your life
People just give in to their flesh
Can’t allow that connection to mesh
Have you heard of relationship maintenance
Yes kinda like with your car
Relationship need oil changes
But instead of an engine it’s a heart
Value your love and cherish it too
Many of us want what you’ve attained
I respect love in all of its ways
•••
So sorry I must decline your offer
Her husband walks away from me all awkward
Rules change
11-19-20
I’m tired of test driving cars
That are not even worth getting in
I don’t even know who you are
Can’t let you access my skin
Rules change, lanes splitting
There’s left and right
But I’m Ascending
There’s new life in sight
Jah will grant me the honor
When the stars align
I was once a goner
Busy looking for a sign
Disappearing in the shadows
Through the darkness I make my way
To a soul that glows
Brought my spark and I pray
As I examine the one I chose
When will it be time
To sneak off to my den
Baby you need to climb
To access these gems
Hello
11-20-20
“Hello”
Empty word that seems inviting
To me this word has become frightening
With every passing person
I’ve adopted more aversion
To the pursue of connection
It’s the lack of direction
That leads to objection
Even with correction
I don’t expect perfection
But damn
Hello is a word that brings me anxiety
In its simplest form it produces variety
In every meaning of this word
The aftermath has become absurd
It’s just seems like people really lack certain skills
These people disrupt my energy but don’t pay my bills
Everything could be going good
They say the wrong thing and it kills the mood
I just don’t have time
Every moment is precious
I want to live my life
And be more than just practice
I’m ready for the universe to provide
That love of a lifetime
This being will come and sweep me off my feet
They will say hello so genuinely
Time will pass and be heavenly
Even when we cross our attitudes
It won’t be so big that it intrudes
Into our love that surpasses all
There won’t be a route to the downfall
We’ll be committed
With Gods approval we’ll be permitted
You’ll come to my life at the right time
But In the meantime
I’ll just focus
Till the locus
You, again
For 11-21-20 but written on 11/22/20
You, again ?
I thought you were done
I thought you were busy
I deemed you as gone
You hit me up tipsy
What am I supposed to do with that
Not being rude just don’t know
You’ve brought with you the chitchat
But where’s the love that you owe
You let me go
You just let me leave
You never put up a fight
Woe is me.
I should just block you
But what will that do
Eventually it’s me who comes back too
But I don’t fit into your life, what’s new ?
Either way we catch up
Entertaining the idea
I reply back like sup
You must be thinking “tu eres mía”
But in English since you don’t know Spanish
You think that I’m yours
But how can you say that and vanish
You want to be with me but you got chores
You “got shit to do”
Well that’s great boo
Do you
So what’s this mess that you spew
You’ve split my heart in two
And I’m not stuck on you
The devil is a liar
Spliff here so I’m higher
Our love needs to catch fire
Feels like a flat tire
Heart wounds from gunfire
You were once my deepest desire
Don’t know what you expected to transpire
I meet you with rejection
Hearts locked away, barbed wire
You feed it affection
Hit me with the cross section
Suddenly hearts getting ejected
Falls on your lap
You set up a trap
It was at that moment I knew I fucked up
I thought I was through but you said wassup
You just presented a grain
Hours pass my energy is drained
You love me in vain
But it flows through my veins
In order to abstain
I converse with Mary Jane
She helps me hide the pain
God Washes off the stain
Feeling kind of feign
Your love just clutters my brain…
Distorted sounds
11-22-20
Distorted sounds
In them I drown
Fade in the background
Distorted sounds
By the bounds
When I’m around
I’m safe and sound
I love to muse
Got none to lose
Except for you
Leave you behind
Distorted sounds
Come out your mouth
Decipher the code
Resonance flowed
Overload
I explode
And then you showed me
Distorted sounds
I’ve got the downs
I wear my crown
So I don’t frown
Stand my ground
and you surround me
But you can’t control me
You don’t own me
I escape through
Distorted sounds
Switch up the frequency
Drift into secrecy
Whispers
11-23-20
Wherever you are
I hope that you’re good
I hope that my whispers reach you soon
I send you good vibes
All of the time
I think of you always
Day and night
I hope you’re alright
Last time you seemed blue
I hope that these whispers reach you soon
Sad that things went wrong
I needed to get away
Maybe we’ll meet again someday
I’m on the run
I’m done with the fun
I’m reaching towards the sky
God tells me let go
Of all that I own
I let you go
So I can grow
It’s going to be okay
We’re safe in this place
I wouldn’t leave you without a trace
Of where to find me
Once I find my peace
I reach for a pen
I write out again
I hope that these whispers reach you soon
I hope you come through
The brand new you
I hope that that stars
Keep track where you are
They’ll help you find me
Cosmically tied to thee
It took everything in me to flee
But the thing about God
He does what he does
To give us all that we need
He knows I need you
And you need me too
One day I’ll get you
So drift away
Off into space
I’m on a mission
I can’t escape
So I leave you with this
An eternal kiss
End it in bliss
I make one last wish…
I hope that these whispers reach you soon
Something was off
11-24-20
Being honest that’s a start
It seems that
I’ve fallen in love with the dark
It was what I thought I had
But then I realized
I held this spark inside
And That was you
The reason that I breathe
It’s because you held me
I knew something was off
I was trying to play it off
I never had to go anywhere
For you were always there
I wish that I could see you
After all we’ve been through
-Just open your eye,
Your third eye –
I see you through another lens
This feelings so intense
It’s a 6th sense
I lower my defense
Please don’t take offense
To what I’m about to say
I’m on the fence
On where to commence
•••
My minds on the run
And I’m not even done
I’ve merely begun
The fun
Has yet to come
We won
There’s light at the end of that tunnel
It’s the sun
It will rise again
My friend
Through the agony and pain
You’re experiencing
Its okay
We’ll be okay
That’s all I want to say
•••
Close your eyes and sleep
Count the sheep
Don’t weep
I took a peep
It’s not that deep
His word, he keeps
Smoke
11-25-20
I just wanna know
Was it all for show
Was it all smoke
Or did you choke
You’re not the average Joe
It started at hello
It was long ago
We tried to go slow
So we could grow
We reached a plateau
That’s when we blow
That’s when the changes undergo
Although
My love it overflows
On you, I bestow
All my glow
Quid pro quo
Have we outgrown
Whoa
What’s in this merlot
I just wanna go
You fucked up the flow
3 times in a row
.. more times than I know
Where’s the love that’s owed
Was it all smoke
Or did you choke
You sunk below
Baby
Was it smoke
This makes no sense
“In my defense”
At my expense
That’s why it was tense
As my tears condense
I slip in common sense
With no pretense
It’s just “self-defense”
All of the suspense
Hop in the Benz
Then I drove over to France
To get my advance
I was in a trance
Of what we could be
Woe is me
It was smoke
How did it allude me
Love is blind
Shit happens all the time
Love is a crime
The time was sublime
You ended the climb
Right here in its prime
Sour like lime
You dismissed a dime
Your actions were grime
It was just smoke
It was a joke
But I awoke
And then I spoke
You don’t know what you provoked
Coming from a heart that’s broke
I’m the one who evoked
Now I will revoke
This love isn’t free
This love is for me
Liar
11-26-20
You’re a liar
Filled with fire
You wait until I tire
To offer me my deepest desires
But my God,
He’s much higher
Don’t know what will transpire
I heard a gun fire
There is war Inside my soul
He begs me to let go
And go into the unknown
But God he awoke
And then he spoke
That’s when I broke free
And he let me be
As God said if the devil tempts me
Resist and he will will flee
And you can see
This was true for me
I can attest
I’m here in the flesh
I am blessed
Put an S on my chest
Oh yes !
Sanctified is his name
The devil loves to play games
They are not the same
I can admit
I was almost hit
But he missed
I can see why
Some of you die
You sell your souls
And you don’t even know
You’re priceless
Gods love is timeless
And he gives it to you
He’s there when you’re blue
So that’s the good news
It just start with you
Discover it with in yourself
You’re godly and it’s stealth
You possess so much wealth
That’s what you should tell yourself
Until you reach
Until you break the seal
Until it’s breached
Let me finish my speech
I need to preach
He loves you
And he will never let go
He knows you by your name
If you exploring what I’m Saying
Your life will never be the same
Please have a blessed day
✨✨✨
I have plans
11-27-20
I just throw myself into another thing
I have plans
I can’t stand
To just stand
Stagnant
I have plans
Don’t you understand
I need to build my brand
These poems are just a strand
Of what’s at hand
My love is on demand
I need to expand
And fan across the land
So you can experience firsthand
And open up your pineal gland
Yes I can
Yes I can
Yes I can
I have plans
You need to see yourself for who you are
So you can heal your scars
You won’t get very far
If you continue to push the bar
The limits from which you double cross
You don’t see the cost
As your heart turns to frost
You need to bleed
Cut yourself open to be freed
Figuratively !!
Don’t hurt yourself please
Listen to me
I have plans
To carry out this scheme
That turns into a dream
I screamed
I told him to cut me
I needed to bleed
So I can see
I ask him to search from within
Expose everything
Just witness
How he does this to me
So you can see
Just with the thought you’ll be freed
I want to see what happens to me
I want God to use me
I’m an example
I’ll be his sample
I stand before thee
Bargaining this plea
I’m going to see
What he has for me
I’ve already seen the other side
Get a load of that guy
All he does is deceit
And he cheats
He had me beat
So many hits and repeat
Impaired me so I couldn’t speak
But God saw me
And he’s seen enough
He sees you too
He’s coming for you
All in good timing
Just continue climbing
Bubble 11-27-20 I was in my bubble But it burst Now I live on earth All this time alone was intentional I am exceptional I was so afraid for you to see I fled from who I needed to be I bled for her to break free I tore myself from the inside And face all that wanted to hide I cut myself to my core I opened all the closed doors Didn’t know what was in store Opened just a bit Everything’s out and hits Pours out, I’m sore He goes in and explores Now to read and experience his word Yes it sounds absurd But that is what you heard In order to restore And rebuild You need to be still You need to feel It’s all real It helps you heal You need to see for yourself His words are wealth While you were in stealth Avoiding his help You possess such strength He will get you on the wavelength Don’t just take it from me I’m one of many And there’s plenty You don’t need to live empty You were meant to be full This should be understood No matter where you are We all have scars You’re not alone You have a home That’s set in stone In here you will have all that you need You can live abundantly You can live happily You can experience euphoria This no longer needs to be dystopia You too can exist in utopia
I turn the page
11-28-20
You’re like a book
I take a deeper look
I turn the page
Commence to engage
You give me access to the backstage
I turn the page
When we met the stage was teenage
I meet your stare and gazed
We zone out into our space
I turn the page
Love growing in my rib cage
Its so insane
From a brick wall I turn feign
You cause my brain to think Brage
As I turn the page
Your love starts to fade
I became afraid and I prayed
You start to disengage
Insert some rage
You hit me with a plague
I turn the page
Violently
Silently
To get to the next scene
It was so obscene
I had to turn the page
And light some sage
You trapped me in a cage
Needed to escape
I turn the page
Get to centerstage
Its almost the end of the day
The end of you
You’re leaving me, I’m blue
What about all the love we grew
I turn the page
Head downstage
We’re reaching an older age
You’re causing a rampage
Within me
I turn the page
It lets me assuage
I see the end in sight
As day turns to night
I turn to the last page
It says “Exit Stage”
In the fridge
11-29-20
There are things in the fridge
I can only keep a smidge
Things I need to get rid of
Expiration dates and stuff
Why do I love so rough
I mean, why did this love rot
I mean, when was this bought
This light bulb has too many watts
That’s why these things got hot
Turn down the temp
Somethings were exempt
The days came and went
Can I vent?
So these things in the fridge
The things I needed to ditch
They just didn’t hit
Or couldn’t commit
Tryna transmit
Shit
I had to quit
I have to admit
This isn’t a skit
Now I’m celibate
These things in the fridge
They hit a switch
So I had to ditch
Life is a bitch
But imma die rich
Cause I found my niche
There are things in the fridge
Tapped into the ridge
It fell down obnoxious
And there’s the paradox
And it shocks us
As our demons mock us
In our subconscious
Nobody stopped us
In the fridge it sits
From the salad it omits
All the problems that cause the split
I understand this
I just haven’t been the same since
How can I convince
My mind, it’s pained and it winced
You aren’t my prince
Throw it all away
This is my display
All the skies are gray
I didn’t even have a say
But I’ll be okay
I watch my heart decay
I mean the vegetable tray
Time does not obey
Another expiration date
Things can’t go my way
Soon I’ll see another sun ray
So I pray
Her couch
11-30-20
How did I find myself on her couch
what’s this about
PTSD, anxiety
Depression consuming me
How did I get here
How do I leave
I see the padlock
But where is the key
How did I lose my sanity
How did I end up in therapy
This is beyond me
I just want to sleep
But sleep requires peace
My demons haunted me
These sessions on her couch
She pointed at many things
These things for which she vouched
She gave me the scissors for the strings
I cut them and it stings
No longer will they cling
Let’s see what tomorrow brings
Its a new day, I’m a new me
Life doesn’t just end after therapy
After I cut those strings
I was able to sprout my wings
My heart sings
As I wait for my king
It didn’t happen in a day
These things never go that way
Step out of the darkness
It just makes you heartless
It just make you careless
Because you care less
Just face the damage
Only way through the passage
Uncover the baggage
Take advantage
You’ll become a savage
I know you can manage
I gave you the vantage
As you make your way down
You can’t help but breakdown
That is when you’ll see it
You won’t believe it
From your interior
You’ll see his light emit, Its glorious
It destroys barriers
You won’t need to be a worrier
You’ll be a warrior
