Saving Yourself

The is no greater lesson in life
than the realization that only you can save yourself;
from the drama
the pain and regret 
the words left unsaid 
- actions that cannot be erased 

Save yourself from the darkness 
the faceless demon that eats away at your youth 
it creeps in and sucks the life out of you 
your dreams once colourful 
now, empty and invalid 

Save yourself from the misery 
of loving people that don't reciprocate;
situations that leave you emotionally drained. 

save yourself from the anger and frustration 
the doubt and confusion 
of loving too soon, too passionately 

save yourself from the meltdowns.

#LOVELETTERS


Dear Soul,
learn to walk away from people
and situations that are toxic
to your physical and mental health
walk away from friendships and partnerships
that no loner feed your soul
that strip away your esteem
leaving you exposed to the elements of the world.

Dear Soul
learn to take care of yourself
pay attention to your thoughts
let them feed your growth
let them heal your soul

Dear Soul
make loving yourself a priority
whisper love songs
write poetry
dance
read
be happy
just let go
and live.

Words Heal


Words heal
words comfort my soul
when all is bleary
and the world is too loud
too demanding
too much

Words heal
words come to my rescue
they leap from the pages in my book
made love to my eyes
feed the cravings in my soul
and bandage the empty spaces
left behind by friends who stopped trying
and lovers who couldn't stop lying.

Words heal
words save
One day i will write about how words saved me

The Audacity of Hope

Hope and Heal 
Hope,
the one constant
when the world rages on
threatening to choke you

Hope,
when the walls of life are closing in
struggling to breathe

Don't stay broken
Hope
and heal

#LOVELETTERS


Dear love

Please come pay me a visit
I want to be able to taste the passion
In my mouth when I eat
I want to celebrate my milestones
And uplift my spirits
I want to drink from your cup of ambition
Passion and determination

Come back into my life and fix me

F.E.A.R



I thought it would crush me until I was ash and cinder
My lungs were begging for air
Bandaged in fear, I couldn’t breathe
It held my tongue back when I witnessed an injustice
It hushed my voice when I wanted to scream for help

Frozen, yet the world kept on spinning

F.E.A.R

After deciding that this year I will be submitting my articles, poems and short stories I stumbled on a publication that was accepting works of fiction and poetry under the theme FEAR. How ironic? the one thing that has been keeping me from submitting, because I feared the unknown and this caused me such great anxiety attacks. So in the end I decided to redefine fear and break it down into something I could feed my soul everyday to stay motivated and on the right track. So here goes nothing. I have submitted my first article of the year, I will be submitting my short stories and my poetry. I'm proud of my journey, I'm content with the place and space I'm in. IAM DONE TALKING. HERE IS TO ACTING.
