Premium Member One of a Kind
Why be concerned with transparency People are blind, they really can’t see With distortion and illusion in the word today And bias and lies in what people say Just be who you are, one of a kind The truth will totally blow their mind They’ll be so confused trying to figure you out Their miscalculations will still leave them doubt They’ll still try...

Premium Member God and Self
Self alone is, at the singularity point Self-existent light beyond space and time Renewing itself within itself, It itself does anoint This Self as luminous heart, intuits love’s chime Creating within itself a wave of pure intent Fulfilled instantly, as is the paradigm God, a golden sphere, grants consent The embryonic Self plunges into His heart Now love enabled, exuding an ethereal...

My blood, my comfort
She always hated the sight of blood But now it had become her greatest comfort She felt her blood was the only one who understood What it was like to be judged Both hated on for their colour Both wanting to be hidden Both wanting to be invisible Each cut sent waves of euphoria throughout her body She wasn't a masochist...

Letter to my younger self
Dear younger me, You won’t understand this yet, but the world doesn’t stay kind. You don’t know it yet, but your smile will crack in places, no one can see. You’ll carry weight meant for two instead of one. Still blaming yourself for breaking everyday. One day you will look back, Not with pride, Not with peace, But with a trembling softness...

Premium Member I Saw A Woman
I saw a woman standing there Her clothes tattered and torn I saw a woman standing there Her face looked so forlorn A women full of worry lines Grey streaks throughout her hair A tear was rolling down her cheek But she was unaware Life had been hard, bitterly cruel Her dreams taken away And yet she’d fought with all her might To face...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could Apologies for the opprobrious actions that have been brought For Thee, who descended from the exalted throne...
