Camouflage Not Needed
I vanish from sight
Disappearing into the landscape
Trapped in a world of my own design
Caged without chains
Your words are
not enough
Flood my brain
Stay silent
Awakened by the radio
Emerge from the wood
Your camouflage not needed
Contribute
I pondered for days
For what
For whom
Stay silent
Let it die
Something changed yesterday
Listening to voices
Heard cause shared
Through willing ears
An evil geniuses design
Floods the streets, a $5 high
Women forgetting they
Are mothers
A great grandmother's praise
Raising esteem and belief
a Hashtag births a movement
Of lives that matter
Emerging from darkness
Simple
Pulling open a curtain
Allowing light to fill the room
I spent the day engaged in play
600 words not more
One, a collection
Something to explore
Tupac's words flood my ears
The words of a mother too
Contribute share
Not just for you
I don't play the lottery
Because I will not win
But life is no lottery Or perhaps it is
One won a long time ago
Staying silent
I choose to abandon
To celebrate my voice
In His glory
That's just the way it is
Things'll never be the same
