POETRY

Mix and Blend.

Struggling I’m muddling through

Caught up in the instance of you

Reality bites. Like wind in the kites

I keep gliding in and out of this ruse.

But whose to blame?

Should I hang my head in shame

While pointing fingers

Calling names?

Or should I recognise my lane

Is nothing more than

that what I've trained myself to accept

Through neglect of self respect due of traumas I’ve yet to transcend

We mix and blend.

Love is a Verb

Don't be absurd

Trying to tell me the thing that you heard

Actions have always been deafening cries

Stuck to the words of a lessening sky

Limits are tired

Limits are tired

Tests laid to rest by the depth of my sighs

Love is a verb.

Show me, show me, show me

You cannot overthrow my walls with stories tall

And actions small

Hear my call.

Those invited to the ball

Have balls of steel and hearts of gold

Soft and tender, strong and bold

I won't be told

I will not scold.

But to stay fabulous when old

Never past it

Everlasting

Standing true within my soul

Authenticity is gold

Cannot be bought, cannot be sold.

Love is a verb.

Bloom.

Let us leave the past in its righteous place

And march forth into a new light

Renewed by the knowledge of our higher selves

And our connection to all that is

Let us rejoice in the glory of living

Hide not in the shadows of our former selves

For every moment is a new beginning

And we pave the way to our harvest.

Let us sow seeds of Forgiveness

Of Compassion and Kindness

Of Love and of Honesty.

But let us set boundaries

Speak our truths and stand up for what we believe in

See through the lies and deception before us

And use our discernment to decide where we put our trust.

We must not be sheep, blindly following orders from people we have never even met, people we do not even know, people we have not even laid eyes upon.

For how can he who has never walked in my shoes, dictate to me how I should live.

I am a free soul, a free spirit, a free mind and a free being. I have the right to decide how to live my life, I have the right to decide what goes into my body,

I will not be manipulated in to thinking otherwise.

I will not give my power away.

I will rise up, no matter what is thrown at me

I will rise up, no matter how hard the fight

I will crawl through the dirt and be cleansed by the earth

Because I know my worth.

I will rise up

With roots anchored deep in the core of her womb

I fear no tomb

I will rise up

Because I’m here to bloom.
