poetry and verse have long been a platform of expression for me. for the most part, a very private declaration of my self. this alongside some of my imagery is my truth. i lay myself bare here, no mask, no armour.
JUST BREATHE
"just breathe" she said
her words muffled
and i felt like i was made of glass
in a world of sticks and stones
TOMORROW
HAD I KNOWN
THAT YESTERDAY WOULD BE THE BEST OF DAYS
AND TODAY WOULD BE A PITCHED BATTLE
I WOULD HAVE STAYED IN THE PAST WITH YOU
WHERE THE TIGHTNESS WE HELD EACH OTHER
HINTED AT OUR TOMORROW
TWENNYWUN3TWENNY
TERRIFIED
HIDING SCARS AND BRUISES
BUT SO SURE OF MY HEART
I LOOSE IT FROM IT'S PROTECTION
FOR THE FIRST TIME
EVER
AND HOLD MY BREATH
TERRIFIED
INCONSIDERATE
"HAVE A NICE DAY"
SHE SAID
AS SHE HANDED ME MY GROCERIES
PUTTING ALL THE PRESSURE ON ME
ABUNDANCE
i am spoilt for choice
giving rise to my not accepting
less than i deserve
embracing the abundant
and the truth
ROYAL
I WILL NOT RUN FROM MY PAST
RATHER I MEET IT WITH RESOLVE
IN THE KNOWLEDGE IT DOES NOT DEFINE ME
OR DICTATE MY PATH
BECAUSE THIS, IS MY EMPIRE
AND I WALK IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF KINGS
