Premium Member You were just a heart, an organ that beat enough

You were just a heart, an organ that beat enough,
to feel the need to raise a wall of stone,
a fortress around which the wind whispers forgotten memories,
and when the rain sheds its tears over the cold stones,
you remember you were also flesh, a body that felt enough,
to wear an armor of steel, gleaming under the sun,
a protective layer against a world that doesn't understand.
You were a soul, an abyss of desires and regrets,
that got lost enough, wandering on a path abandoned by others,
a trail hidden by the shadows of the dense forest,
where trees tell their story in whispers of falling leaves,
and you, precious child, have grown enough,
to forget how to love without fear, without reservations.
That is why this castle of bones was born,
a bastion that bears the burden of a survivor like you,
in a world where walls become the only friends,
and the silence between heartbeats is a song of melancholy,
where every added stone, every dried tear,
tells the story of a soul that learned to endure.
And yet, beneath this leaden sky,
where stars are just distant memories,
there is hope that behind every raised wall,
lies the desire to find the warmth of love again,
to dismantle the fortress, stone by stone,
until your heart learns to beat freely, without fear.

Premium Member Stronger Than You Think-II

In a hurtful negligence, you did not read my poetry 
with empathy or even the slightest kindness, instead
you sought to tear me down for what I wrote.

Dear disguised friend, you had me defending what
I wrote bringing me back to past sadness I had long
overcome causing me to second guess my triumphs.

My poems are a testament to my resolve and 
courage in the way I pulled myself out of the
depths of despair while trusting in God’s grace.

Oh, my, unexpected foe, “when you read my poems 
you wrongly judged me, and in a demeaning tone
shouted, “Do you ever write poems that are not sad?”

When I told you about the many hopeless
survivors that I have helped with my
writings you scoffed at me!

What I overcame and fought through would
bring you to your knees so it is time for you to 
silence your hypercritical attacks and criticism.

With God by my side, I’m better now, but you
sought to remind me of forgotten pain instead 
of praising me for showing strength and courage.

Still, you insist on pretending to be judge, jury and 
executioner with harsh remarks and judgments  
seeking to dismantle, disparage and destroy.

Please be aware, the worst insult for an abused
child is accusing them of having some sort of 
blame for the pain and suffering they endured!

How misguided, misinformed and mistaken are you!
It’s undoubtedly your failings and insecurities that
have caused these flawed and bias opinions.

In a hurtful negligence, you did not read my poetry 
with empathy or even the slightest kindness, instead
you sought to tear me down for what I wrote.

My poems are a testament to my resolve and 
courage in the way I pulled myself out of the
depths of despair while trusting in God’s grace.

Now, you can sit with your insular prejudice, 
false accusations, and emptiness as it should
be for your absolute intolerance. 

Today, you can be rest assured God will take my 
hand one last time lifting me up into the Heavens
to be with my beloved Mother, Aunts and pets.

Unequivocally, I am Stronger Than You Think
and I have survived more in one moment than
most have in their entire Lifetime!

Nature's Secrets

Materials are arranged into an element table
As complete, clear, reasonable as possible
All they have been  most ideal
So,  heat balances and explosions stop off

Slowly come the wind and the sounds of 
Flowing waters, birds, and people
Mixing up the fragrance with invisible
And the mechanisms set to be mysteries
As boundless and complicated as the Stella
The stars in the sky are either dim or bright
The earth is therefore successfully  born 

The Creator was worried a lot
Human beings acting as ignorant  kids
Who may Happily dismantle their home
That's to date not actually impossible

So before  went out for a tour
He crushed the mysteries of nature  
And spread the pieces into people's mind

Left no one could restore it as a whole
The mechanisms  still remain though
None of a piece could easily be told

To acquire knowing the essences of nature possible
Only is no one ignored and free speech restored
No matter what they say as long as they say cordially
It should have listened and carefully mapped out

Premium Member Black History Is History

Black History is Our history 
Black History is American history 
Black History is World history 
Black History is The history 
Black History IS History 

Although it is celebrated in February, Black history is not just a month, it is every day history. 
Black History is a reflection of the segregation and discrimination and the sacrifices and struggles for our freedom for justice and equality. 
It reflects how far we have come, from where we were to where we are.

Black History is History. It is written by “We the People,” and in case you didn’t know, we are part of the “We.” Our story matters and our ancestors stories matter.
So no matter how much they want to have “selective memory” and try to dismantle or impose restrictions, take away fundings, or pick, choose or limit how much (if any) is being taught about Black History, it is our job as parents, grandparents, leaders and people to teach our children, nephews, cousins, friends and others about “Our” history.

Black History is History and it’s not just up to the teachers to tell our history. With that being said, parents, Be the change! Teach them at home, individual, in group settings… take them on field trips to museums, monuments, parks, take them on a bus ride, show them videos and books… By doing so, we are allowing the history (our history) of our civil rights leaders and ancestors to be remembered as their sacrifices for our freedom was not in vain.

Black History was then, is now and will forever be a part of history.

The world is far from being a perfect place
Pretty sure that's a well known fact
If it was, world peace would be the name of the game
Instead of killing and unprovoked attacks

It's hard to imagine what that would be like
It hasn't ever happened before
It sure would take a whole lot of getting used to
So foreign, a world without wars

What would we do with our war machine
Dismantle it and sell it for scrap
With no further wars, countries aligned as one
No need for any of that crap

 Is this old guy dreaming, did I nod off for a while
Better belt myself on the noggin
If I happen to survive for another hundred years
More likely to see ghosts and goblins

Premium Member War To End All Wars

War To End All Wars
It will be the war
On corporate polluters
The corporate polluters
Who deprive Our Children 
Of clean air, clean water and clean food
These corporate polluters
Driven by ego and greed
Are relentless
In their pursuit of profits
To sustain their avaricious 
Narcissistic lifestyles
*
Parents and their Children
Will be armed with Love, Courage 
And Determination to 
Dismantle the laws and policies
Allowing rampant pollution 
To harm so many of us
Demand for corporate accountability
Will be heard from 'Sea to Shining Sea'
*
We are on the Edge of Existence
We and Our Children
Will not be pushed 
Over the cliff
*
The Love we have for
Our Children
And their future
Will engender 
A massive push-back
And a fierce stare-down
Of corporate giants 
*
Governments will understand
A Mother's
Intense
Ferocious
Passion 
To Save 
Protect
Their
Children 
The 
Future 
They 
Deserve

I'm not perfect but I'm worth it

#I'm_not_perfect_but_I'm_worth_it
I'm not perfect but I'm worth it, I'm working on it, I go up, I go down,  through your eyes, I see my picture, your soul perfected, believe you me, I'm trying to fit in, but demons in my spirit wakes me at night, commanding me to stray, you don't know my internal battles, I'm at war with myself

Maybe I'm still resistant to accept that you are now part of me, still holding tight to my longly fate, maybe it was planted so deep, with it's roots still echoing to cores of my soul, maybe I'm afraid to let go off my demons and let your halo cleanse me

I'm far from perfection, lean closer and see how dedicated I'm trying to dismantle the walls chocking my freedom to let in, to accepting change and being one with it

No day goes by, without strangling my self to sleep, when how hard I try to be the projected light your eyes, reflects of me, it's not easy believe you me, I turn restless through the night, bashing my flaws

I fear, this golden moment with you might slip through my fingers before I win this battle in me, but believe you me I'm putting the effort and hours to walk with clear mind into our new bond

Wish you would try to listen with purpose, and hold my hand and assure me that we will fight this together, and hear you say perfect doesn't exist for to be human is to err

Wish you bear with me, as I untangle  off my demons, my fears and insecurities, wish you not only understand but assure me that we are in this together, come what may

I'm not perfect but I know there's more good in me than my imperfections, and you too knows that, me taking ownerships of my flaws, it's me with one leg on the staircase to fixing myself, please don't bash me for acknowledging my flaws

I'm not perfect but worth it, I wear my flaws like crown on head, wish life came with manual to nevigate better, maybe I would align with every box in your wish list, a perfect version of me. Allow me to be your Rome, and try to build me each day, I'm fragile, I'm not perfect but I'm worth it

The Scars On My Heart Came From People Who Said They Loved Me

The scars on my heart came not from the enemy
The scars on my heart came from people who said they loved me

Knowing the truth
Hoping the youth may see the irony
Some know how to handle love from a distance and
Some don’t know how to handle love when it is close up!
When the shadow hits the light
Real intentions are exposed that lived in the night

The enemy is easy to handle
But often the one closes to you
Will dismantle your heart!
Then you will see and know
That many of the scars on your heart
Came not from your enemy
But it came from people who said that they loved you!

Darkness

Darkness is my weakness
Crave negativity day to day 
At war with my inner light 
Dismantle the joy my inner child 
Reckless with the will to live 
Stomp my power to the -3rd power 
Don’t have the swag to live,
Live to feel pleasure 
Wishing to go ghost 
Praying to end it all 

Heart hurts; faith locked up 
Locked in darkness 
Tears of sorrow 
Shameful of my shadow 
Looking for my heart to be rip
Ripped away from this pain 
Pain this ungodly body carries 
Reversed to the thought of hope 
Bargain with Satan
Offer seems fair 

Want to spilt my wrist 
Let go of everyone inclination  
Feeling so alone 
Feeling useless 
Screaming someone help me 
No don’t help me! 
Darkness is my love!
Surrender to my captor  
Can’t do this my soul lost! 
God help me!
Lead me!
Forgive me!
Guide me!
Want to live
Live for you!

Crying out for your mercy God!




This is art with a message I do not promote suicide suicide. If your feeling like that please get help remember you have people who do love you. 

I do not feel this way I’m happy I’m blessed it’s just poetry… 

Thank you

Premium Member The Smell of Treason

The air in Philadelphia didn't stir that July.
It settled, thick and suffocating, over fifty-six wooden chairs.
Outside, the summer beat against bolted doors;
inside, men prepared to snap an ancient, golden chain—
to trade an empire’s law for the unpredictable fire and rain.

John Hancock stepped forward first. No hesitation.
His quill scraped hard against the parchment,
leaving wide, aggressive tracks.
"Let the King read that without his spectacles," the whisper went,
a quiet defiance that fractured a monarchy.

They came from the rocky edge of Massachusetts:
Adams, unyielding and fierce, alongside cousin Samuel,
fanning a dangerous patriot flame.
Gerry and Paine moved in to anchor their legal names.

Then Virginia’s quiet architect stood up from the red clay.
Jefferson, carrying words designed to dismantle tyrants.
Behind him, Harrison, Lee, Nelson, and Wythe—
a solemn line backing the grand decree.

Franklin watched through wire frames, old eyes holding lightning.
"We must all hang together now," his voice dry, cutting the heat,
"or we will most certainly hang apart under the gallows' beam."
Morris, Rush, and Wilson nodded,
signing away their vast fortunes for a future they wouldn't live to see.

From the northern vanguard, New York and the Jerseys answered.
Livingston, Hopkinson, and Witherspoon—the fiery priest—
shouted that the land was ripe for birth.

Then south, down the coast to the Carolinas and Georgia’s marsh.
Rutledge, Lynch, Middleton, Gwinnett, and Hall,
joining a pact that smelled of treason.

Fifty-six men from every ordinary walk—
lawyer, merchant, keeper of the soil—
knowing a rope waited for them on the hill.
Yet they stepped up anyway, pressing wet ink into history.

The parchment dried.
The old world felt the tremor.
A new republic born not of kings, but of signatures.
