We are not petting zoos
People think that they can just come up to us and
Touch our hair because it’s different
Black peoples hair is important
It let us out of slavery
It created a bond between mother and daughter
Barber and black men unite
Made us a stronger people
Wig, braids, cornrows, natural, straightened
Hair...
My brain is about to explode
Have you ever tried to stuff a crazy amount
of marshmallows in your mouth all at once?
That’s how my mind is working right now
Life, family, school, and what I would call "other" are jam packed into my mind
I’ve been told to breathe, you got this...
Lost
Quietly sinking downfurther and furtheruntil I have reached the bottomWhat is this world?I am no longer on Earththis is a whole new planet.
Around me I know no oneno familiar faces,nothing looks the same.
I am in a different world;one with no escapeno world I have...
Migrant
It's been 1031 days since I've been away from my home.
Some of us have lost count and moved on,
some of us too busy living and forgot to count,
and some with a disoriented self,
tormented by the constant mutation the mind undergoes,
stood puzzled, not knowing what...

Now together we stand herenext to our wooden house,holding two cups of coffee,we stand together staring at each other.

Be yourself
Makeup here, hair there
Welcome to the world of impression
Sometimes you need to look beyond your looks
Smile
Be yourself
All those cakes are not going to satisfy everyone’s taste
Perfect cannot be achieved
Be yourself
If makeup is your thing then great
Don’t use it as a costume to hide since...
One Last Leaf
Fall;
the most ravishing season of all time,
how mischievously she often knocks on the door.
For the man who dreamed of tan over his body,
she gives the best dressing,
maybe over his wounds.
As the dim green blood drains from my body,
I see blood clots all over, freezing my...
Enlightenment Part III: Acceptance
Overwhelmed with such knowledge, Thoughts no longer his own and acts of pure will,He descended the mountain to his old home.
Everything felt the same.
There was buying, There was selling.
Talking to each person as if talking to the great sky,They responded, offering him guidance and...
Fresh
We once were free now the transition has come
Unfamiliar, strange, Fresh
It’s the time to be the person you want to be
Step out of your comfort zone
Jump into the water which is university
Testing the waters is a must
Whether it’s your 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th year
Fear...
Random thoughts going through my mind like a tornado
Do dogs actually smile?
What is the best way to confront someone?
Have you thanked the earth today?
What’s love actually got to do with it?
Can the earth be saved from climate change?
Do you know where your food comes?
Why am I so stressed out?
Can I really make...
