Love my mother so I wrote her a poem. Every year I write her a different one. This year’s just came with a slideshow. Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. 🙂 She’s my first best friend. I didn’t pick her, she picked me. She’s changed my diapers, wiped my snotty nose and…

& Metaphorically Speaking II
Your love constantly pulled at my heart strings creating an array of knots that took me years to untangle. How did we get so intertwined… Your love was like constantly trying to swim upstream without a paddle with a block anchored to my foot exerting all the energy in the world yet getting nowhere Why did I…
& 11:11
It’s 11:11 and instead of making wishes I’m up smiling thinking about the art that’s gonna be bomb when I’m done processing the hurt you put me through …again. I thought we were done with the back and forth the junior high games… Why can’t you make up your mind Why are you so freakin’…

& No Apologies
No Apologies It only took me 26 years but I’m madly in love with myself. I love the rich cocoa complexion I was so blessed with The bright smile that somehow survived candy as a food group and every other curve on my body makes me smile in the mirror. I’ve grown to realize that…
& Your Words, My Life
When I was a kid, I hated my cocoa colored skin. I didn’t have a reason either. Turns out I hated it because everyone else hated it. I got pushed and shoved and called names that I still remember to this day. I still vividly remember the fresh tears rolling down my cheeks after one…
