E

Everybody doesn't have access to E
She is stunning, she is beautiful, she is free
She walks with no apology, talks with authority, and eyes could pierce your soul
She is exploring her creativity, showing her maturity, and embracing her individuality
She stands more proudly, she is sitting in her feminity, and she is providing herself stability
She shows herself more mercy, she has forgiven herself more gracefully
She is growing spiritual, glowing physically, and mentally she is healing
She is me, I am her, We are E

I spazzed

I spazzed
Cause the weight on my chest got too heavy to hold,
Cause the truth in my throat wouldn’t stay controlled,
Cause the story I carried was never told —
So I spazzed.
I spazzed…
When the pain in my past started pulling me back
When the peace I pretended began to crack
When the love I gave never came back 
Yeah, I spazzed
I spazzed
Cause I broke my silence trying to survive
Cause I swallowed hurt just to feel alive
Cause I kept the peace while losing mine 
So I spazzed
I spazzed
When “be strong” stopped working,
When old wounds started burning,
When my tired heart kept turning 
So I spazzed.
I spazzed
But not out of madness out of release,
Not for destruction I wanted peace,
Not because I’m weak but because I’m me.
And that moment set me free.
So if you hear me say it again 
I spazzed
Just know it’s the truth finally rising,
The storm inside me finally aligning,
The quiet girl finally shining.
Yeah
I spazzed.
