Glass Flowers

Let us raise a toast
To shatter all expectations
Reaching through the pane
Made of unsavory relations

I’ve begun to bloom
Without help or indoctrination
Plucking out the weeds
To cut out all my agitation

To be blown into shape
And ignited by immense passion
Learning how to break away
So there aren’t pieces of me to ration

Synthesize mind and body
With brightness that I can fashion
Letting in the rain
To cleanse the parts that are ashen

I am deliberately cultivated
Like a vase full of glass flowers
Reflecting the beauty of love
From the break of Dawn to midnight hours

Every Step of the Way
-
365 ways to reimagine a moment in space
Capturing a new day with a glimmer on my face
Reaching towards an uncertain positivity bound up in grace
I am enthusiastic about finding a happiness one cannot erase

Striding up towards my mountain top blissfully unaware
Blinded by pride and virtue, my life has seemingly been fair
Yet a sore has been festering quietly aching with every stair
A vicious desire that will become the pinnacle of my despair

I hoist myself up from the ledge expecting to see the very thing I seek
Only to stand up and fall to my knees as I see the distance to my peak
Overcome by the pressure of an unattainable breath,
I can’t speak
My unending sorrows make my foundations futile and weak

I rest in this moment of despair looking for a reason to give in
Only to find it at the bottom of the guilt rooted within my sin
Why would I continue on only to reach this place again
I find no joy in a journey destined to continue to begin

I pause as I think about stepping past this unrelenting notion
How can I lead you into my present joyous commotion
The sweeping of the sands beneath me like in a clear blue ocean
I pick myself up with the help of my unwavering devotion

Why would I quit now when there’s so much Ahead to know
One step at a time, I can start off at a pace that slow
Soon I’ll be further beyond the pains of long ago
Never giving up on expanding opportunities to continue to grow

365 ways to reimagine a moment in space
I am enthusiastic about finding a happiness one cannot erase

It’s been quite a while since I’ve used this page. I’ve been experiencing some writers block in my current chapter of growth. In many aspects an overgrowth has come to reveal itself which needed to be tamed. In other aspects, the growth has been moderated and seemingly perfect. I wish I could share with you all the many ways that my life has changed for the better but my writing has forever been therapeutic.
Stay tuned to see how I have come to appreciate the abundance of growth in my life by being mindful ~Every Step of the Way~ 🫶🏽🤗

I wrote this almost 2 years ago and I’m sad to say that nothings changed...

If you know me, then you know that the movement is something that I’m very passionate about. It didn’t start last week. It didn’t start last year. It started the day that the system failed Black people... which was day number one. We must put pressure not only on the people who stand against us, but we must put pressure on the system that has failed us and rebuild the foundation so that we may all know what it means to live free. My voice will not be silenced because too many of my black brothers and sisters have been silenced. WE ARE THE CHANGE. TAKE A STAND FOR LOVE AND THE TRUTH. THE WORK ISNT DONE YET!!!!!!

It’s too easy to stoop down to their level. Let’s look back in the future and be proud of the means we took to create the end ❤️

I am greatly hurt by the MURDER of George Floyd by Minneapolis Police and how they said his cause of death was a “medical incident.” Constantly sickened by the cover ups of police brutality and racial injustices in America, I have written this poem on the truth of AmeriKKKa...

May is month and I’ve decided to share with you an old poem that I alway read whenever I feel like my mental health is declining. I’ve come back to this poem many times this spring because of quarantine. My biggest struggle in the last few months has been staying healthy mentally but I have found that after all of this, my anxieties, sadness, loneliness, and fatigue will all be easier to handle.
