medicine for the soul.


i am my poetry

every line, every stanza is the story of me

 

you can feel my pain

rhyming to help keep me sane

 

eloquence

is the technique to make life make sense

the trauma of my own rape plays over and over like a breaking news story on cnn

but somehow sounds beautiful and empowering through paper and a ballpoint pen

 

writing can be sexy too

something about a woman whose intentions are true

to empower other women; help them find their own breakthrough

 

we also write to forget

to move on from all the bullshit

we write to relive

to be transformative

 

the greatest part i believe

is the change i see within me

and its because of me

... these are my words; my autobiography

 

i write because it brings me happiness

allows me to move on from my unhappiness

 

dwelled on the closures from others i never got

writing my own endings helped relieve the pain a lot 

 

this is for you

the reader who believes there's nothing more to do

 

your awakening is coming

your purpose is forthcoming
