eye of the storm
what happens when i explode? what happens when the storm that i held behind my eyes pours out? what happens then? because i try so hard to keep peace. i try so hard to remain still and quiet and elevated but what happens when my clouds get heavy and i start to descend from theContinue reading “eye of the storm”
waiting
i’m waiting to overdose on this feeling i have. this nostalgia is more than what’s good for me these days, but i can’t seem to get enough. i keep feeling fresh whips of reality cut through my face every time a tear refuses to fall. my mind is refusing to cry for you, but myContinue reading “waiting”
I Found My Niche!
I think I’ve found my niche! If you’ve been here for a while then you remember the beginning of this journey. I wrote a whole post about finding my niche, my lane, my true calling. Well here we are (however many months later this has been) and I think I found my niche! I knowContinue reading “I Found My Niche!”
Feeling
Yesterday I felt weak, My days were feeling like weeks, My heart was cold and so were my feet, I drug through the day until the moon reached it’s peak, Yesterday, I felt weak. Last week I felt small, I felt like I was a fly on the wall, Like a child learning to crawl,Continue reading “Feeling”

She sat in the corner most of her early days, After being separated from her foundation on that one Sunday. But as I gave her food and water and light, Her stems grew longerContinue reading “Growing Leaves”
Go Get It
All this talent and no price tag, all this passion hidden behind dish rags. You have this whole life to live, and you’re living like you’re not good enough. Speak up for what you want, Tell them what you need, Stop letting these people walk all over you, please. It’s too easy to make theContinue reading “Go Get It”
I Prayed for This
To my writing: I prayed for peace, I prayed for consistency, I prayed for wisdom, I prayed for joy, and then you started coming back around. I kept praying. I prayed for guidance, I prayed for patience, I prayed for love, I prayed for understanding, and you embodied those things. I prayed for help, IContinue reading “I Prayed for This”
Voting Season
As the season progresses and the days pass us by This year we are in has seemed to fly. We’ve known so much pain and turmoil This year has given us too many times of recoil. There have been storms and people left in the rain, This year alone we have seen and heard nothingContinue reading “Voting Season”
