Preach

You have so much to say, so much knowledge to pass on You have so much to give, so much love to transmit Then why is you growth altered by views you can't identify with Views that stunt your growth, your ability to endure and overcome Oh young soul, the date on the calendar on…

The phrase

"You don't need me", were the words that shrivelled out of his mouth A phrase containing more meaning than the four words it contains His expression came from a place of pain, Pain so vivid, we could not escape the urge to share the burden of his heart His expression came from a place of…

Inner monologue

Stop being so weak, she tells herself, I can't keep getting hurt at the hands of my "love ones", I keep screaming with no response, from anyone Tired of breaking down, she is, It's forever the same story; I am not Ok, I feel like I don't belong, I feel confused and lost When does…

Brother

Brother, Can she pull the strings of your soul, Stimulate your mind, And help you find, The king within... Can she be more than eye-candy? Can she be soul food? Acknowledge the fact that you are a soul with a body and not a body with a soul, And that your sole purpose is to…
