Disillusioned
She remembers her childhood.
The thrill and new penny feeling of being outside when the sun has set! When shadows drew shadows that grew shadows.
The intoxicating sense that she wasn't being a “good girl”, that she was doing something forbidden. A feeling only, she had no words to define this.
All things were alive and friendly, all things and all people loved her. Never had she known low morals, harsh judgements, base emotions.
Why, an eight or nine foot tall mouse with a silly name and gloves was exciting and fun! Something she laughed at and clapped her hands with joy! A super friend she could play with…
…not a terrifying diseased rodent, protecting itself from fingerprint analysis, with idiot, inbred eyes and needle- sharp teeth hungry for her blood!
No, to her child eyes, her still under warranty, blue eyes, the crescent moon was a smile on the friendly face of the night sky. The two brightest stars, the eyes, that look at her with approval and decency.
A Montage of calendar pages rip away and float off screen …
…and we watch as the young blue eyes subtly change. They slowly lose focus and begin to look past us into the distant past, the soon to be future? Who knows.
She remembers her childhood.
When she believed no one meant her any harm. When she trusted that the dark night face of the sky, the crescent moon, was a smile. Looking down on her with love.Now…
...Now…
That bright crescent moon looks like a sneer. A sneer on the face of the demented, psychotic sky…
…leering at her.
LEERING. At. Her.
What is it that you're under?
Life is beautiful
Yet you make it roar ?? like thunder
Trying to get through this journey
Trying to make a change
Somehow things still feel the same
Its strange
How you'll spend your whole life
Trying to impress
Unsure ?? of your purpose
Thinking did I really deserve this
Pressure
Lets break it down
Treating yourself unworthy
When we all deserve our crown
Being put down
Without having the will power to get back up
Lying in a state of comfortbility
Not realizing you were stuck
Yep that's us
We as human beings
Lacking alot
So confused
But God never forgot
Pressure through our peers
Did more trying to be accepted
It brings you to tears
All these years
And then you finally develop into your own
Now realizing that the only approval you need
Is the one on the throne
Pressure of trying to be of the world
Yes that's us
Putting up a big ole fuss
Over unnecessary stuff
That we can't control
Pressure of being afraid
Knowing that if you're not like others
Sometimes friends will trade
Yes they will
We may experience hurt
But we have to learn to forgive
And just live
Pressure to belong
In an unfit song
The words just don't mix
Time for revision
Have to do it quick
Practicing a new step
To follow
Even when your not content on which direction to go
Go with the flow
Pressure in relationships
That don't belong
That are old
Still holding on
When you know your past life
Is renewed the old you is gone
Pressure is surely what you make it
You can overcome it
You can face it
Being under it doesn't make you feel any lesser
These are my thoughts
No Pressure

There are days* when… I need God’s favor so badly
Due to frustrations attacking tremendously.
I thank Him for His sure presence marvelously
Engulfing me with His constant love supremely!
There are days when…I lose my joy of salvation
Caused by selfishness, disobedience, deception.
Then I recall Christ’s great work for my redemption
Cheering me up toward peace-filled jubilation!
There are days when…I struggle with discontentment
And I crave for God’s wondrous replenishment.
He then supplies me spiritual empowerment
With His instruction that cures my envy’s ailment!
There are days when…I desire for God’s revival
Being discouraged at my earthly survival.
He comforts me, granting His divine approval
With His might to prepare me for Christ’s arrival!
There are days when…I must stay long in God’s calmness
As a weary servant in His kingdom’s business.
I praise Him for His offered fellowship’s closeness
With His grace for my faithfulness thru His kindness!
*Psalm 90:12 So teach us (LORD) to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Who am I today:
an open book to everybody
reflects the values instilled
in my heart by my first mentor...
the man my older brother is now:
conscientious, concerned, caring father
as testified by his family and those around him
exemplifies the commitment that reared his being...
the charisma my younger sibling exudes constantly:
cheering in his nursing and health-practitioner roles
radiantly exposing nurturing bliss with serenity-glow
bearing zealous compassion that attended to him, verily undeniable...
the virtuous wife and mother my sister is through the years:
gracious homemaker who feeds festively by her sumptuous meals
jubilantly affirmed by her dear husband and children
exposes approval-seal of the hands that molded her personality...
the best Dad whom we regard as the almost perfect leader in our sight:
human fortress, tenacious anchor midst travails and tribulations
leaving us precious legacy surpassing earthy wealth's heritage
he himself attested that his influence was a partnership-product with her...
The WOMAN* behind us all
helping us become what God wants us to be:
our MOTHER, so inspiring.
We thank and praise the Lord for her.
*Proverbs 31:30 ...A woman that feareth the LORD, she shall be praised.

Everyone hates my poetry
Because it doesn’t wear makeup.
Because it stares too long,
or not long enough.
Because it mentions the body
like a room that remembers
every man who left his name in dust.
Because it’s too sad,
too loud,
too holy,
too raw—
because it does not ask permission
to bleed
where others would politely weep.
They say I should whisper.
I scream in stanzas instead.
Line breaks like broken bones —
each one healed wrong on purpose.
I rhyme “fxxk” with “forgiveness”
and call it a sacrament.
I flirt with ghosts.
I give grief a seat at the table.
I write what I can’t confess.
And then I press send.
And wait.
And wait.
And wait.
?
Go your own way, they say.
But I was never theirs to lose.
I won’t be your throat,
your mouth,
your Sunday-quiet muse.
Dance in the avalanche —
I’ll be drinking full-blooded wine.
You butter your toast,
I’ll bleed ink and call it divine.
I’m Dracula,
you’re limpets —
clinging to shores of should.
Sinister mercy monsters
with teeth made of wood.
You won’t take mine.
I’ve bartered them
for metaphor.
For myth.
For the kind of flame
that never asks to be understood.
I sit on a throne
shaped like an electric chair,
burning truth until
only the bones of beauty remain.
You?
You live in living rooms.
You collect pretty things.
I braid your betrayal
into a lei of lunacy —
my madness in bloom.
Say I’m too old.
Too female.
Too much.
There’s something in the water.
Damn right.
I am the water.
I merge with ocean light.
The moon kisses me goodnight.
Why do I need your approval to feel seen?
Must just be a throwback trauma dream.
Your eyes — not galaxies,
but black holes,
sucking the light from my becoming.
I offered constellations,
you brought collapse.
But still—
I orbit my own flame.
Still, I rise in ruin’s dress,
sequined with scars.
I chew the fat
with better men than you,
men who don’t flinch
when a woman burns through.
Men who sip my fury like wine,
and still
ask for another glass.
You?
You watered me down,
then called me “too much”
for the mess you made.
?
And still I write.
Waiting Anxiously To See,
Choreography Created by Me.
Where Did It Originate From?
I Can't Say That I Really Know.
Music Seems to Provide The Flow.
At First, I Might Do It a Certain Way.
The Next Time I Might Add a Sway.
Will It Meet My Approval?
Only If The Dancers Dance
Better Than Their Usual.
Dancers Say That I'm Hard To Please.
Just Dance Full Out, Don't Just
Give Me a Tease.
Make Every Step LIVE.
Show Me All That You Have To Give.
I'll Be Watching, IN THE FRONT ROW.
Dance From Your Heart.
Show Me Passion, Emotion, Let It All Go.
Make Me Feel Something Beyond My Expectations.
Capture Me With Sensation.
I Want To See You Glow.
Thats Why I Chose To Sit In
THE FRONT ROW.

Away from hopelessness-caused transgressions

Thank You for enriching me with Your blessings’ wisdom
Against lying and slander uttered at random
Away from wealth offered by materialistic freedom
For me to desire Your approval in seeking first Your kingdom.
Thank You for enriching me with Your blessings’ bounty
Against lack and scarcity’s difficulty
Away from crises of prayerless spirituality
For me to love You with my devoted sincerity.
