AFTERMATH – This is what happens when you’ve arrived. But even when you arrive at your destination, it’s not like you recognize it at first. These words are that.
Stay tuned for what else I come across on this journey called: life.
LOST AND FOUND
9-8-21
Life is more beautiful than what we lose in it
One door closes, another one opens a bit
You’ll notice the light shining to signal you in
You step in and spiral down as you spin
In your mind, you’re rolling your eyes
Remarking I’m not even surprised
As you descend from the summit
You anticipate, that from this one you’ll plummet
Who has time for the what if’s
I’m only concerned for what is
And when I got to this distant land
It was here, that I started my plan
I planted the seeds I would soon sow
Patiently laying my ducks in a row
I lose myself in my zone
I praise by raising up my tone
Paving the way to my throne
This is a race but I’m running alone
I lost myself and found myself here
Where do I go to face more of my fears?
Jah, lend me your ear to make things more clear
I make things more severe than what they appear
Shine bright with your light
I will prize your advice
For it is precise to my experience
Without your grace, my life is meaningless
Losing the past, made me cherish it while it lasted
When it was finished, it didn’t look like the draft did
My words used to be nonexistent
Now they come out more persistent
I can’t keep it to myself any longer
I release my woes and it makes me stronger
Light up the dark is what I aspire
Its Jah who lights me up and keeps me inspired
I will glide alongside you until I expire
I’m the bush where you burn your fire
I do not melt, I just glow brighter
Let these words be your igniter

Interview II
9-19-21
So back to the screening process
I’m in between lives, sayless
Got my eye on the prize, success
Here with the mellow vibes, no stress
So I’m not too worried about what’s next
Not even phased when I get a text
Number is not even saved, what a flex
You can look perplex, I know you pressed
And what was the rest?
What did you need to address?
Get it off your chest,
That green left my mind refreshed
Who took the past
cause you left like theft
Still wished you the best so you can rest
What, did I pass your test? I guessed.
—
Coming from the one who kept their feelings compressed
Projected all the things you repressed
What were you trying to suppress
Who hurt you? Cause, was it like this?
You described what you did, it hits
I let it burn so it melted off like Swiss
“I get crazy” played while I hissed
Then I reminisce all I the signs I missed
I smile now when you call and I dismiss
The type to win the battle and the war
I went to the shore to restore my core
I write these words more, out they pour
Had fun with you but I wanted more
—
Coming up is the deal
You left like theft but it’s like a steal
Not only a snack, I’m the whole meal
Out of the cocoon I molt and peel
My wings expanded in the whole reveal
Say all you want but my lips are sealed
5D living in another dimension
We don’t give up here, we strengthen
I released the tension for your redemption
Maybe next time you’ll pay attention
But your brain got no reception
Maybe its your perception..
Or was it inception
You’ll never know in which direction
Ill take my connection

Senses
9-19-21
When you hear me
What will you say
The day you decide to feel me
And you don’t want to play
You just yearn to taste me
And I swoon as you sway
Dejavu, you see me your heart starts to race
In your dreams Im fulfilled cause you stayed
You can’t get my scent out your head
But you continued your life instead
You weren’t led by your senses
Too late to mend the fences
Why were you pretending
Listen to me cause I’m venting
Never want to waste my time extending
Quality time you spent it
That mood of yours is unrelenting
You stayed inventing left me pending
Our love fermented what’d you expect
We came back just cause we sensed it
Im not attending
I feel myself suspending
I let me decay
Why would I stay
Tomorrow is another day
Some things just go this way
Let me know how you felt in the survey
How does it feel to be replaced
You thought you left a trace
Jah clean it with your grace
Take me to space
Put this love in a vase
So it can evaporate and be erased
The last embrace felt like liquor with no chase
Tears can’t hit my face
The sadness was misplaced
How you feel is strait
I let go of your weight
My mind state is great

cloud elevator
9-30-21
Climbing the ladder got tiring
I believed I could fly, now I’m soaring
Passing the quantum through the orbit
I feel like an atom passing the electric circuit
Cause I am energy
I cannot be destroyed
Only transformed
This ain’t even my final form
Give them a hand, they take my arm
I came to help, you bring me harm
Tried to be likable with my charm
That was the bomb that set them off
I show that I’m hard but I’m so soft
My version of hard is martial art
I never thought I’d fall apart
It’s crazy what happens when you own a heart
Love & delusions, the imaginary part
Pause, no stop and restart
Cloud elevator like a nimbus
Trying to reach mount Olympus
Trying to reach , trying to reach
This can be taught but I don’t teach
Cant build the words to produce a speech
Ill spread the good word cause its a niche
Beyond that is a stretch
We can cross over that when we reach the bridge
So what else can be stated after this…?

9-30-21
Hearts deflated
This won’t be something debated
I know this was fated
Born into views that were outdated
Couldn’t reach for help, mind shaded
Disassociated to different places
Leveling up through many phases
Couldn’t look back or leave traces
Slipped my momentous into deep vases
Crooked smile, I need braces
I still smiled with no hesitation
Happiness must be hidden in the basin
A trace would lead to invasion
The alibi was that I misplaced it
It was something I did as I evaded
It was until I broke because I was jaded
I was dreaming of a life to trade with
I didn’t want mine because I was hated
Accepted all they said when they persuaded
But they took back what they said
Once I lowered my walls, they invaded
I sat there naked after they vacated
Stripped off my energy hidden in the vase
I was empty and I needed space
I put padlocks on the gates and waited
I have faith that Jah will soon come save me

USED TO
10-10-21
Sometimes we stick to what’s familiar
The common thing is safer, I figured
While you stick to what is plain
The things that you have claimed
You’re filled up by what you already know
I need it all so I can grow
I soak up what I need to grasp
You’re comfortable with just the scraps
I shine my light so it is clear
I compose the words you need to hear
It’s out of love to be sincere
I gave my life to volunteer
The side effects are so severe
Sometimes I just want to disappear
But God shows up and interferes
And just like that, I persevere
I guess that what you’re used to
Its what you deemed accustom
No need to discuss, just come
Add it all up, tell me the sum
Don’t need to stay where you used to
There’s always some room for improvement
Live is meant to be lived for your amusement
The choice is to be happy and staying present
Then dark days are gone and it feels so pleasant
When your mind is rich, you aren’t a peasant
Your soul shines colors that are pearlescent
And when the words pour out we build a tie
That should prompt you to reply, at least try
Use what you’ve learned and apply
Powerful words just to strengthen
All you need is your mind and comprehension
Setting the tone for your intentions
How much did you process in the retention
I guess that’s what’s you’re used to
You don’t see the need for reinvention
I’ll let you be, going back to my oasis
Out of the ordinary, not really, it’s basic

YOU GOT IT
(Interview 3)
10-11-21
I’m down for the cause
Please Hold the applause
Everything I’ve done speaks for itself
No need to discuss the side things that were dealt
No need to relive the things that caused me to grow
I accepted what happened, I’m going with the flow
I take it all in day by day
I only speak when I have something to say
Needless to that I keep my mouth shut
Could be more direct but I fall back in the cut
Sometimes it sucks when I’m stuck in a rut
Always calm and serene RBF as I strut
Lust for life but it’s not to be rushed
The feelings, they need to be discussed
Don’t try to limit my mind to satisfy your pride
You don’t get to decide, it’s God who provides
He sticks by my side and I deemed him my guide
I rejoice even when I’m tried
I know good things are coming so I Stand still
I continue to develop myself as a grand skill
I am the project I’ve been working on
You come into my life like a pawn then you’re gone
Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong
Happiness is available if you come along
How’s your relationship with Jah? Must be strong
Life brings trial after trial, will you withstand for long?
So if you got it you can get it
Looking for something of value and true grit
Trying to hit the love on full blast and commit
I want the vibes to exist and transmit
Make me laugh with your wit
Honesty is the best policy so admit
Roll up the green and it’s lit

CRAVE
10-13-21
Craving the dive in the pool of your mind
Take me astride as I swoon for your sigh
Your past made you hostile but try to be kind
Blessings are coming towards you as supplies
You’re equipped to maintain and thrive
But don’t live deprived just to survive
Open your eyes and become alive
Stop trying to hide what you’re feeling inside
Stop trying to act like you don’t want to try
You looked in my eyes and our gaze collided
Sparks started to fly in the place you reside in
It prompts me to measure the mountain to climb it
I’m checking the weather to measure the climate
I don’t want to lead, you are the pilot
I’m here sitting quiet for you to arrive
I hope you strive and take the drive
Craving to plunge your love in my life

SOLACE
10-13-21
Trying to fill my wallets
Live life as a goddess
Reaching towards the sky for solace
What about that thing you promised
Waiting for divine timing in its variation
Receiving bits and scraps, its consolation
Striving towards the things that I need, safe haven
In the meantime, I don’t know
Send me more that will console
Want it to run more smooth
Swallowing the truth as it soothes
Hermit mode cause I’m searching for clarity
Like why did they treat me so terribly
Walk by and nothing happens apparently
Now they can’t talk, they need speech therapy
Support and relieve, got my heart on my sleeve
I needed them to leave so I could receive
Was so naive but now I achieve
The things I believe
Need to be open to the many perspectives
It’s not what you’d expect
The objective is not correct if
You resort to things with less incentive
We exist in several realities
You got infinite abilities
Commiseration spills out of me
Release it and be free
Achieve tranquility
Living so critically and cynically
Questioning the humility and instability
What do I need to obtain credibility
I live life in search of serendipity
Spontaneity runs in my veins
Ignited by the passion in the strain
It’s what my brain contains
Again, what can I gain from this pain?

in my dreams
10–13-21
Love getting into themes
So many realms traveled in my dreams
You reside in my imagination
You enter it in random occasions
To what do I owe this observance
You have multiple offenses for this occurrence
Why must you dwell in this regard
You make waking up so hard
I’m awake as I dream on guard
I stare blankly and I don’t say a word
Paralysis took my vocal cords
I scream and nothing is heard
Sometimes there’s tears and I tell the Lord
As my eyes open, I search and you’re not there
I’m alone in this world but I’m not scared
Just cause I can’t see you
It doesn’t mean you’re not here
Its bizarre when you’re near
I fear the lenses weren’t cleared
But I sense you for certain
And unload all my burdens
You just harvest my garden of words
Keeping track of mind, its absurd
You’re the only one who knows
The only one I chose
I let you get so close
In my dreams you reside
No words to reply
You take pride in how you hide
Going with the flow on this ride
You roll in like the tide
I wake up and you cloud up my mind
Gotta be present and leave you behind
Until tonight
When I write there’s light
Shines bright and my lungs get tight
Catching my breath to stay alive
I can’t live in my mind, I feel so deprived

So now I’ll talk about my muse
My vibe oozes with rhythm and blues
My aura emulates various hues
I’m only living the life that I choose
Cards dealt included some abuse
I just meditate and diffuse
Where’s the credit when it’s due?
I set limits and they’re just amused
Then they get mad when I refuse
To partake in this mess, I’m confused
What is it that I need to prove
To see something improve
I’ll have your ass removed
Before I sit here and wait to be approved
What does it look like this is
You just thought I’d tolerate this shit
There must have been some split
Between reality and this
Where is the guidebook for it
I miss when I think I hit
I just need some answers I must admit
Dealing with this when I want to quit
I’m waiting for the karma to transit
Threading towards the passage
Jah grant me the advantage
Or help me just to manage
While I wait, I heal, but there’s always damage
Where can I stand still to have a vantage
Devil plays games and leads me astray
But I quickly catch on look up to you and pray
You lead the way to where its safe
I’m in my zone so I create
I wake up early but stay up late
Even when I nap I awake
Need to confront my mind state
Awake in the time when the spirits are
Clouding my mind and I feel them near
Just download the intel I need to hear
Need to be awake so it’s clear
In my mind I explore
Each time its more than before
Its not like I can ignore it anymore
Im in the sky at war
Go back to bed, wake up, I’m sore
Reality of ascensions galore
Its such a chore but I run back for more
Side effects of insatiable pours
This prepares me for life, I’m sure

INDIVIDUAL
10-17-21
We are not living for others
As salvation is up to the individual
We must not adopt the habit to smother
We need to tune into our minds for visuals
Ignorance is what happens when you buffer
You chose the easy route as a principle
So you can claim you didn’t know as a duffer
This topic I bring about is biblical
Pardon for what I’m about to uncover
With free will your choice is admissible
So why must you look over and hover
What I do with mine is permissible
I stepped out of line to discover
One thing that I noticed, I suffer
But I get back up because I am invincible
This guise is not even a cover
Your simple life is still fixable
Jah brought me the words to usher
Ascension is mythical
I used to be invisible
I’m reaching the pinnacle
It’s his protection for me, irresistible
This life is more than livable
Stop settling for the minimal
You’re stealing a sample, its criminal
As the wind blows the dust covers
We were once friends and then lovers
Abruptly ends but I was a sucker
I melted into you to mix all your colors
Who’s really the runner
You could’ve won her
What a bummer
I don’t know how to be more convincible
You can live as an original
But life is unpredictable
Learn to imagine the unthinkable
This life is unequivocal
Your comfort is habitual
But your zest for life is inextinguishable

EXPENDABLE
10-26-21
I watch you fall from the pedestal
I put you on, turns out you were illegible
You made me believe it was credible
Instead you gave me a decimal
Was trying to maintain the peace and be flexible
This vibe was merely sensual
I deserved a love so plentiful
I reversed the effect since you wanted to be skeptical
I tolerated it briefly but it was unacceptable
You felt obligated to fight as if this was addressable
I withdrew, I’m no longer accessible
You stunted your movement like a vegetable
I moved on, you’re forgettable
I pass it to God, he made it digestible
Now I write about it and make it a spectacle
Repeating the motions like multidimensional
Take a look, give me my props, it’s impeccable
Your mind turns to gunk with the shit on your retinal
Keep that desire to yourself, thirst unquenchable
You thought I was waiting, wrong! You’re expendable
