Today I’m tired. Tired of being told to be pleasant while people pour their mess onto me. Tired of being humble while the world chips away at me like I’m made of stone and not spirit. They say, “Don’t return the energy.” But how am I supposed to keep giving when the leeches keep draining? … Continue reading Who Sees The Strong One?

The Grace I Give
Journal Reflection: “The Grace I Give” I give grace because I know what it feels like to be overwhelmed, to carry more than I can explain, to be in a space where words won’t come but feelings won’t rest. I’ve made room for people to process, to stumble, to be unsure—because I don’t love conditionally. … Continue reading The Grace I Give
She Bleeds Words
She bleeds words— the kind you don’t say out loud, the ones that sit in your chest like smoke in a locked room, waiting for a way out that doesn’t set the whole place on fire. She carries them quiet, like a story no one stuck around to finish. Heavy words. Unsaid truths. Pages folded … Continue reading She Bleeds Words
Dear Valentine
While society hypes the glamour, The glitz, and all that mundane Shit.. Here I sit with the most simplistic wish. Praying that you’d make it my gift. I won’t fawn over red roses, It’s never really been my gist. Nor will I care if violets are blue. I’d simply love to receive you! Raw, uncut … Continue reading Dear Valentine
Moment
Couldn't have dreamed of a better scenario, A better specimen to have created such a show. An exchange of energy so pure and high vibrational, That nothing about it presented itself as conditional. Any other time, I would have stayed in my lane, But you... you created a moment that initiated a main change. A … Continue reading Moment

The Thought
A thought is nothing, You're a dream! Can't really explain it, Don't want you to think I'm a feen. The years at bay weren't a waste, Because now these thoughts keep up a pace. A thought, nah love, you're the space in my mind, The single thing that occupies most of my time. Told you … Continue reading The Thought

Seizing
I can see beyond the hurt. I can see you're torn between letting me in, or hiding behind the pain! Tell [her] we have beef! Tell [her] we should never meet, because a man like you, should have never been subject to [her] abuse. Whether mental, physical, or emotionally, She'll never be good with me. … Continue reading Seizing
Just a Heart Pour
Your aura drew me in, From the first time I saw you, I knew I’d let you in. Your style, your swag, your smile, Your demeanor yelled “manly”and I’d catch myself staring a while. I played the back, staying in my lane, Because who said I could be worthy of such a human being. Such … Continue reading Just a Heart Pour

Equivalent to holy ground, your energy breeds serenity, captivating and astonishing, stoic and profound. Our eyes meet, Your energy consumes me, Your smile ignites me, my body follows your lead.

Different
All I ever yearned for, Was something different. Something so strong, That would easily bend the polar ends. Something basked in consistency, Dipped with a coat of laughter, Heavy on the honesty, Flaked with a bit of an edge. Different—— I prayed, Flawed in the best imperfections, Standing in confidence, Clothed in divinity. Different—— I … Continue reading Different

Remember when time stood still with just a glance of your eyes? When the blue was an escape, prefect breathing room for an ocean on the … Continue reading Time
