Ready

I've chased happiness I've chased success, Anything from making me feel depressed I've suppressed my joy, Allowed me to feel a void, hoping to find my voice Away from family, away from friends, seeking a sense of validation, a pat on the shoulder, a sign of appreciation Like a child's relationship with its parents, I…

Exodus

For many like me, it is hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Today I was reminded of that light, That like the children of Israel, I am walking through the wilderness on my way to promise land, Like the children of Israel, I am prone to lamentation wanting to cling…

Rise

They say not to be afraid, They say to be strong and brave, As if that's all it truly takes for one to be ok once more. They say that I would not make it, They said I was living and breathing self inflicted pain, Little did I fully comprehend the evil they were tryna…

The one

This is a letter to you, Bearer of my heart, pulse within my vessels, nucleus to my happiness. I had always imagined characteristics you would posses; quarter man, quarter angel, quarter prince, quarter warrior with a dash of those Idris Elba physic marinated with some Russell Wilson generosity & kindness. My pillow, my best friend,…

Lumier

Sometimes I wake up feeling blue, At times I feel like Imma lose, In all those moments, tears rush to my eye balls fighting to escape, In every instance, I grow weary of the future that lies ahead. See my anxiety gets the best of me, whispering words of regret, fear and pain, Reminding me…

I’ll be ok

Out here tryna make it, but you keep clipping my wings, Out here tryna make it, but you keep on shutting down my dreams, I know struggle, I know pain, wondering if this is not hate. See, in the past few years I have tried to understand you, Studied your reasons of actions and being.…

Spirit

I was told to write to You, to tell you about my worries and thoughts, I was told to reach out to You, to ask for guidance in this time I am most lost. Truth is I shy away in moments like this, I don't know how to tell You that I am not okay…

Soul’s prayer

At a cross road once more, Fearing for soul, I'm sure You know. This time it's bigger than me again and to be honest, I don't know if I be able to or can. You brought me for some odd reason, Knowing the struggles that would come my way and its seasons. I don't know…

Racing

One thought gets my mind racing with no aim to stop, I am afraid, I can not get myself to say. Would I portray myself as the faithless girl who is unable to try Or The trusting faithful child, always greatful for all she has. I am supposed to have faith, be a pillar of…
