what it was like to dance in the water sprouting from the ground

running barefoot, laughing at anything out of the ordinary

but what was ordinary was always new

we climbed trees til we scraped knees or had bee stings

hiding under woven blankets soft enough to tuck heads in beds

sleigh rides down blank white sheets giving rosy cheeks

what it was like to not have to worry about a thing

to not...

you come around me and my whole energy shifts

don’t even realize how much you’re always missed

tryna play it cool, i don’t even think you’ve noticed

im in love with you

i hate to sound so cliche, but i’m in love with my best friend

& every moment we share, i couldn’t dare imagine life with anyone else

sometimes it feels right, other times too good to be true

but i can’t tell you

coming clean ...

they run deep like the vines of a willow tree

my roots race across oceans, valleys

east, south & west

thru green, black & yellow my roots traveled from islands

they escaped execution on polish lands

sailing over to new beginnings,

willingly and forcefully….

my roots came from the motherland

from plantations my routes took north

& here i am.

so deeply embedded in me is everything

a blend of a...

blinded by the light love glared on us

reflections of each other danced across our skin

what felt like fate was casted out by shadows

it became apparent one day what was once so pure was now tainted by flags discarded once before

only brick walls and grey skies lay surrounding me now

with crystal blue icicles hovering above

the sun doesn’t shine this way anymore

it’s clear love changes like the...

i should’ve kissed u when i had the chance

i wish i would’ve told u i loved u when we were in the moment…but i thought i did

with each time our lips met.. it wasn’t ordinary

i don’t just hold anyone the way i held u

the gentle touches across ur back, tickling ur spine as if it were a field of dandelions

but telling u how i truly feel, it’s always been my biggest fear

what if u don’t love me the ...

we struggle as a whole

but we struggle alone

there is power in numbers

but we choose to move on our own

united has been stated in our societal norms

but we’d rather stand divided and cause our own troubling storms

is there a such thing as peace on earth?

i’ve hoped and prayed since i was a little girl

but the reality is duality & there has to be a balance

for the law states for every action ...

Life without you

what would it be like?

i can’t even begin to imagine where i’d be

who i would be

you’ve given me a life worth living

you gave me hope when i felt lost

you gave me strength when i felt defeated

the joy you’ve brought into my life is completely unmatched

and the love… oh the loveee

it runs over me like the warmth of the sun when it peaks from the clouds

you’re so pure in every ...
