"Life Is Fiction, Competition & Contradiction"

Poem.

I want to come down off this ride

But suppressions lead to depression that is so alive

I confide in my mind, I haven't cried with my eyes

But I can weep with my heart

It all starts at the part where Im here, then I'm there

Refraining from mind breaking heart fractures

Cause my life has been nothing like peaceful green pastures

No lesson from no pastor, my vices have been opened like a box made from alabaster

I've defied gravity because I've been so high that my feet weren't alive but my arms touched the sky which is infinite like the magnificent love of God

Wrong of me to use come parallels, but if thats my description let me use my own comparisons to tell

But yes, I've been high

Both literally, and figuratively

Both mentally & spiritually

Both legally and illegally

Then I've been low

Burdens in tow

Im usually stuck right in the middle

Finding peace, which is often little, yet so big to me

Sometimes I Want To Run To A Rock Tall & Full Of Daisies And Thorns

Just Like Me

I Am Like The Rose That Grew From Concrete

Therefore Adversity Remains Obsolete

I Would Like To Fall Into Midnight Showers

Then Bathe In The Liquid Blessings That God Breathed Through His Being

I Am Seeing Reflections Of My Perceptions

Through My Distorted Sense Of Direction

Sometimes, I Just Want To Run

Sprint Into A Voyage With A Compass

No Accomplice

Just Me, My Heart & My Spirit

The Sun Rises

I Can See It, I Can Hear It

I Just Wanna Do The Best, So You Can Be The Best.

Mid-Night

I Want To Spend The Night In Wonderland

Tip Toe On Mushrooms & Breathe Complete Euphoria

I’d Like To Run To My Own Utopia Where Peace Illuminates My Heart Beat

And Love Runs Through The Bones Of My Feet

Make Love From Fireworks, Swirls & Twirls Of Possibility

Comb The Moisture Through My Wooly Hair From The Clouds

Eat Cannabis Sandwiches & Then Laugh To Myself At The Things That Only I Can See

It Would Be … Just Me

No Heartbreaks, No Second Takes

Living Off Fate

In My Dreams, Because The Reality Isn’t Real

Im Drifting With My Little Wing

PSA

I am really and honestly fed up with the way everybody around me is still consumed with trying to find these perfect matches or just a space or time filler. NO. I just don't feel like that. I just don't feel like looking especially cute because I'm S I N G L E . I'm good, I chose to be this way. I'll admit, at one point I was hung up on love. Times passed, things haven't changed, but I have. If someone calls me pretty, I'll say "thank you=)" but that shouldn't be incentive for me to consider you. Harsh?. No I'm being real. I'm just not interested in the search for bait, or the energy to even talk about how much I do or don't have. I'm just letting things happen, letting things BE.

Oh! My Hair Is Strawberry Blonde =)

Happy Father's Day =)

I Love My Baba. It's Father In Swahili. I Don't Remember A Time In My Life Where He Was Ever Absent. Through All The Hardships, He's Been There. My True #1 Fan. I Get Everything From Him. His Mind. His Heart. His Spirit. His Face=) I Love Him.

I Love Her.

&We Both Love Our Kitties.

In My Tiff About Love These Few Days I Realized Somethings As Simple As This:

I Love You.

I Love You, Raw & Genuine.

No Lust, Wishes Or Romance Attached.

The Reason Why Im So Stuck

Is For That Reason

I Carry You In My Spirit

Things I Do, I Just Want To Share With You

Never Want To Lose The Bond

The Simple Bond

I Love You Selflessly

No Desire Attached

You Hold This Light

In My Heart

But I Feel I Give It The Fuel

Cause You're Not Even Really Present

Its Just That I Hold You Close, Right There.

Thank You For Showing Me

Exposing Me

Helping To Liberate Me

Tapping Into The Higher Me Which Met The Higher You

There Is No Explanation For My Situation

Except That Fact, That I Genuinely Love You.

Nearly Nude Nights

Me & My Favorite Cousin Sarai Just Took A Walk Through Her Neighborhood. We Walked & Talked. We Ended Up Walking For A Half An Hr, With No Clothes On. Just Undergarments. That Didn't Match. Cars Drove Past. But We Didn't Care. We Were Unclothed Because We Wanted To Be. It Was My Innate Reaction To Try & Cover Myself When Cars Rode Past & Think Of Lies To Say If A Policeman Stopped Us & Asked Us Why We Had On No Clothes. But Then I Realized, Who Are These People? Laws Are Questionable. Rules Are Made To Be Broken.

We Are Such A Lustful Society That We Outlaw Nudity. How Can One Punish Me For Simply Walking In My God Given Skin?

By The End ... I Felt Free.

But My Cousin Had Lost Her Pants On The Way. So She Had To Take The Kente Clothe From Her Head & Wear It As A Lapa.

I've Been Depressed Lots Of Times. Too Many To Count.

Lovesick

I am so sick of talking about love. I don't know how or when it became the topic of every conversation. Maybe because I was in it for the majority of my teenage life. But every single conversation that I have with my friends revolves around it. It just reinforces the fact that I have no significant other, nor any one could be even deemed as a potential. And I mean, hey, thats life. I've come to terms with the fact that sometimes, you really just have to be alone. I'm not going to settle because the idea of being with someone is all people ever speak about. I just can't deal. We talk about politics, religion, hair, music, deepest thoughts ... than dwell on the fact that we're all not in love.

Well .... I'm in love with me.

Today I Was In Such A Good & Beautiful Mood:) & I Felt Pretty.

I'm Not Ready To Love.

I'm Not Even Ready To Like.

I Do Wonder If I'm Seen.

Whose Behind The Eyes?

What Kind Of Heart?

My Soul Is Beautiful.

So No One Deserves It.

I'm A Virgin To This.

Whole Dating Thing.

I've Been In Love, That Is All.

So Its Hard For Me To Just ... Be

UntoldStonerStories.

I fuck with Wiz. But as of lately I've been listening deeper and deeper. Right now, he's Hip-Hop's poster child for "stoner music." But all he does to me is just rap about smoking weed, the action. He never goes in depth into what the drug does for him. What thoughts it provokes, how to reveals himself to himself, how he sees things differently, his world when he's elevated. That's what I'm looking for when I listen to artist like him. He's a dope artist, no shade. But ... I just wish he would dig deeper. There's no way he smokes as much weed as he does and gets no results. I'm just curious as to what they are.

DCReturn

Back to DC today 

Salif Keita was awesome:) 

I was with 5 women that have raised me into the queen I am becoming

On the way to DC, my aunt asked me did I ever feel as I was different amongst my friends? or in general?

I replied, "I'm always that different friend. But all of my friends and I share the same sense of appreciation & rebellion" 

Which is very true. 

Made me realize ...

I'm surrounded by revolutionaries. 

&It cannot be any other way.

There must be balance, yet the people that I surround myself with must be innovative & ready to always embark upon some type of change.

But anywho

I'm sure that hardly no one has had the type of upbringing that I had -- which has molded me.

But me & Sarai got up on stage with Salif Keita & gave him money !

He blew us kisses. 

Much love to him.

I'm ready to get back in touch with the culture.

I need to bring it to Spelman.

I'm thinking of staying in DC for about a week next month.

Something about it always lures me in. 

Working tomorrow this god awful stifling job =/

Then spending time in the sunshine.

Pictures coming soon ... 

Peace

This morning I woke up
Refreshed.
New shoes on my feet
Sun shines making heat
Loves not on my mind
Only peace =)

Jumper

Every time that I'm up on something high, I think about jumping. Initially, I scared myself. Maybe I had some subconscious depression I had been suppressing. Then I realized while I was in DC sitting on the  ledge, looking over the river that it has nothing to do with any suicidal thoughts. Im always on bridges, cliffs, roofs or balconies wanting to jump simply because I want to be free from all fears. Free from all limitations & boundaries. The crazy thing is though, I know that i would die if I jumped off these high ass places. But I never really care. I just want to jump, because for some reason I feel like free falling would be peaceful. I never really worry too much about outcomes of my actions in life, hardly at all. Sometimes I trip myself out.

If I could
I would get high
Write poetry
Write songs
Freestyle whatever I wanted
With all the people I loved
At least once a day
...Home I feel so confined.

Who said that big lips weren't beautiful? 

Well, they were wrong.
