For Black Girls Who’ve Written Their Mothers Suicide Letters

she gon’ tell you you’re crazy for letting a man ruin you

she gon’ tell you that your generation don’t know how to keep no man

she gon’ tell you that suicide ain’t going get you into heaven

she gon’ tell you to pray it away

even tho the sanctuary hasn’t swept her into a holy ghost all your life

she gon’ tell you that ya ass shouldn’t have been messing with him anyway

she gon’ tell you that you therapy is for crazy folk

and that you is crazy

and that this conversation better not leave her house

cause in black families we pass down secrets like they recipes

somebody please pass the black eyed peas

that and the lord’s house are the only bowls of prosperity

Black girls, we aren’t allowed to be sad

so when depression turns

loud and angry

then we’re doing it right

following in our mothers

shrink-herself-to-be-loved-by-a-man

footsteps

they expect us to close our throats

when all we can do is scream

although you’ve been told all of your life that you’re her twin

the way she loved you

in scorn

is no reflection of you

cause oh what a lil wine,

candles

and moonlight can do

Black Girl Therapy

Two such as you with such a master speed Cannot be parted nor be swept away From one another once you are agreed That life is only life forevermore Together wing to wing and oar to oar.

If you’re facing a bit of writer’s block, like me, you might want to join in one of the April poetry prompts that are out. My previous post has one if you’re interested. I seldom do them as usually I write like a waterfall... but the last few months have been hard on my creative spirit. Sickness and death will do that. You will discover the true character of people because most will respect your pain and will not want to add to it. But... Then evil will raise its tormented head and continue to stir the pot, and you will view society skeptically. It always comes under the guise of angels and butterflies promoting falsities. Remember that. •Day 1, I’m late• Make sure to tag #fortheloveofpoetry for a chance to get your poems featured in our stories!

Make every brushstroke count. Take your time with her. She is not a race you’re running. She was once a blank canvas and longs to be one again. @tmcpoetry • #tmcpoetry _______________________________ My first poetry collection ‘The Remnants of Love Lost’ is now available on Amazon and Amazon Kindle.

What we are and what we are not.

We come as we go

as we go we became us

us is what we became

what we became was not us

we went as we would

as we would we went

where we went we became them

and where they went we followed

followed the root of all misguidance

all misguided go down that root.

- Khaya

🖤🙏🏾I am realizing that healing comes from within. When you look within, you find yourself and not the world, so really you’re forgiving yourself, the world has nothing and ain’t never had nothing to do with it, i’m in the middle of figuring this all out. Moving out and living on my own brought out emotions that subconsciously I didn’t know I had and so I found myself hindered by unresolved issues from the past, but what does today have to do with yesterday’s pain? So I’ve really been diving deep into the concept of healing and in result I bought the book “The Power of Now” and it’s filled with enlightening advice that makes you look at your own emotions differently and how you can actually be the thing that hinders you from finding true inner peace and happiness ☮️ Its definitely a great read. And is there a final destination for ones healing journey? I think the destination would be coming to peace with what is and what was, maybe we don’t move on, we move forward 🤔 🤯 ✨

I'm tempted to say that I'm not a poetry fan, but that wouldn't be entirely true. What I'm not a fan of is SERIOUS poetry. Adult poetry. Ponderous poetry. What I loooove is what poetry becomes in the hands of some with a silly sensibility, a way with words, and an audience of kids. Alice Schertle's "Button Up!: Wrinkled Rhymes" (2009) is a lesser-known but wonderful example of this. 👟👟👟 A book of clever, funny poems about clothing, written from the clothes' point of view, and illustrated in charming detail by Petra Mathers, this is a fun exploration of familiar objects from new perspectives. I love poetry for short storytimes and for prompting conversation with young kids. This is a great one to add to your library list! ⚫ ⚫ ⚫ #noodlenutsclassickidlit #noodlenutskidsbooks #buttonupwrinkledrhymes #buttonup #wrinkledrhymes #aliceschertle #petramathers #poetry #poemsforkids #poetryforkids #poetrybooksforkids #childrenspoems #childrenspoetry #readpoetrytoyourkids #ilovereading #booknerd #fortheloveofpoetry #booksbooksbooks #readaloudrevival #readingwithkids #childrensliteracy #kidsbookshelf #childrensbookart #teachersunite #kidsbookreview #booksinverse #literacyskills #schoollibrarian #schoollibrary #kindergartenliteracy https://www.instagram.com/p/B3ksymcnh3o/?igshid=fje5veoewfel

Just in case you didn't catch it in my story or in an earlier post, I will be going live on 4/21/19, Sunday @ 11AM CST. I will be reciting some of my poems from 2018 and a few 2019 original poems as well. It is my hope that you will join me while I share my words publicly.
