  • Endless Turmoil

    Why can’t the chaos within my mind end? Why can’t the insecurity, the doubt, the madness end? To live a life hoping for an end is not a life at all.

  • Naivety Exposed

    Once deemed naive, I believed, A falsehood dismantled, I perceived. Youthful, yes, innocence intact, Still learning, my knowledge not exact. From the world, lessons unfold, Cruelty veiled in tales untold. Equality preached, feminism’s plea, Yet, the benefit eludes me. Uproar surrounds, I stand amid, For my white friends, the doors unhinged. Black and brown, women…

With each word, we paint a vibrant scene, Where every page turns like a movie screen, From laughter to tears, and all in between, In…

  • Having faith in adversity

    I’m on a boat, Rocking so harshly, Seas in tempest, Clouds dark and stormy. Rain battering down on me, Lightning strikes frequent, Roiling and roiling, Cresting and cresting. Tossed to and fro, Holding on for dear life, To the steering wheel, Hoping for calm, no strife. But not knowing the direction, Or if there’s a…

  • The harm of numbers as a woman

    I want to repel and expel the Thoughts Of Age Weight Academic success As they are all numbers All redundant lies that we are Fed by institutions and culture and media That tell us we should or shouldn’t That there is no grey only black or white That the quantitative has a sure fire Qualitative…
