Harmony in Imperfections
We could be a melody, full of imperfections,Our harmonies blending in unique directions.With each note we play, a new story is told,Creating a symphony, beautiful and bold. Our rhythms may clash, our tones may not match,But together we create a perfect patchwork.In our discord, there lies a hidden beauty,A song of love, woven with complexity.… Continue reading Harmony in Imperfections

Unveiling Strength: Black Women’s Resilience
In the shadows of society, we stand,Black, marginalized, with dreams unplanned.Our voices muted, our struggles unseen,Yet still, we’re objectified, as if we’re not even human beings. We’re strong, we’re resilient, we rise above,But society sees us through a lens devoid of love.Our bodies judged, our worth defined,By the male gaze, our value confined. But we… Continue reading Unveiling Strength: Black Women’s Resilience
Bodies
My body, your body, her bodyWe are somebody, skin and boneBreathing, moving, feeling deeplyIn this world of flesh and toneMy body is a vesselA home for my spirit to roamScarred and imperfectBut uniquely my ownYour body is a storyA dance of curves and linesA map of experiencesEtched in every signHer body is a mysteryA universe… Continue reading Bodies
Garden
In the garden of my soul, a delicate flower blooms,Petals of strength and beauty, dispelling all glooms.A treasure within, so deeply revered,My essence, my worth, so crystal clear.Like a precious gem, my value shines bright,Unwavering and true, even in the darkest night.Guarded with care, this sacred space,My inner sanctum, my saving grace.Just as the flower… Continue reading Garden
Caged
Am I the bird in flight, or am I the cage,Enclosing my world in steel, silent rage?Perhaps I am both, the foundation and the bound,Yearning for freedom, yet the door cannot be found.My wings, once strong, now clipped by fear’s embrace,My feet tethered to earth, longing for open space.In this prison of metal, a paradox… Continue reading Caged
Faded into the shadows
The darkness introduced me to heartbreak, a familiar faceSeems you’ve left your mark once againI was drawn in by your hollow promisesA fool to believe there was ever a spark to beginMy heart aches for understandingDestiny already etched in stoneAnother disaster on the horizonWe set off on this journey as friends, now lost and aloneI’m… Continue reading Faded into the shadows
The girl that lives inside me
The girl inside me, she crept in like a thief in the night A festering word, poisoning my soul with blight Infecting my organs, a dark force taking hold A shadow in my heart, a story left untold She lingers in the depths, a haunting specter of pain A relentless tormentor, driving me insane Whispers… Continue reading The girl that lives inside me
wounded
In the silent depths where shadows roam,My pain resides, a silent tome.Time’s passage fades hearts, leaves them lone,Life’s twists alter destinies unknown.The agony I’ve borne through years untold,Echoes louder than tales of old.A haunting addiction, consuming whole,A gnawing disease, taking its toll.Where lies the promise of “ever after”?In this world, distant laughter.I harbour a secret,… Continue reading wounded
