There is nothing I can do about love not reciprocated. There is nothing I can do about it at all. You give, you push, and you pour into. It’s taken, catapulted and watered greatly yet never invested properly. How is it that us women are left with the dead end of the stick? How are we so giving and then…
She poured it all out. Gave him the better parts of her igniting his fire. He was her Earth this vast monument of potential that lead her to water him-freely. Never wanting a drought, she poured from wells hidden deep within. The more he expanded, the frailer she became. She was his host, giving ample nourishment to his dreams. The more…
Nothing on this earth is promised to us, not even the air that we breathe. Every day I wrestle with the question “Why am I here?” and always there is the cliche answer of “because you have a purpose.” Do I have a purpose; what is purpose actually?

Burdened, tired, lacking oxygen, living only on 20%, but, no one sees, everyone is living a life that is not their own, lacking authenticity. There’s a cry from the…
You created us, created us in your image while at the same time creating evil. You birthed us into a world that did not have our best interest at heart. Image-that which resembles and looks like you, if that is the case, why do you hate the very thing you created? Us the dark-skinned ones, You set us up for…
“You look intimidating” “You look mean” “I was scared to approach you” are just some of the things that men have stated to me over the years. And I’ve never quite understood the hesitation from them. Many haven’t even met me yet have already come to a conclusion about me before I have ever had a chance to open my…
Last night I dreamed, I dreamed of you. A face of uncertainty, Deep within, behind the surface I Witnessed a depth of confidence that gravitated towards me, capturing me. I floated in the air eyes closed Breathing in your truth The truth of your plea for me a request so pure begging me to let you rest. “Let me rest,…
I think that I am the only one on the planet that is vexed to my soul that I have not received gray hair. I’m legit upset, I know y’all laughing like is she serious?
