Grieving a loss, of a mother.

A feeling, like no other

you can feel yourself losing

sense of reality

it will make you question your sanity.

Her laugh was contagious

the joy within her could be felt for miles.

her smile

lit up rooms

how the sun’s warmth

kisses the sky each morning.

The memory of her embrace

in your time of need

will forever be your comfort.

Within her eyes

family always would come first.

her love was dispersed equally

she cared so deeply

and the beauty of your aura

will be forever remembered.

Wrote for a close cousin whom lost his mother, may this bring peace and solace to those who have a faithfully departed parent.

“You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated. In fact, it may be necessary to encounter the defeats, so you can know who you are, what you can rise from, how you can still come out of it.”

Metamorphosis

Do you see the texturized skin

shedding away from the existence of the woman I once was.

Disappearing before my eyes,

layer after layer— peeling away.

Shedding of the insecurities, the toxicity of thoughts,

ideals,

and let’s not forget toxic behaviors.

Shedding of conforming to social norms

and becoming a woman

I was proud of.

Shedding of expectations

and standards

of others

and carrying the weight

of the disappointment

they may bring.

Shedding of body dysmorphia

Will I ever see myself the way others do?

With such admiration

and appreciation

of this shell of a body.

At one point a woman I wanted to become

And now that I became her, what’s next ?

The evolution of self is endless

They say

you must make space

for grief

in the process of growth.

But while shedding your skin

Don’t forget to have grace and compassion

to forgive yourself

for the things you had to do —to survive.

To thrive.

In a world

where we are taught to hate ourselves.

Never be afraid to begin again.

Don’t apologize for waking up one day and being a new version of you,

People get threatened by not recognizing the person they once knew.

Do you see the texturized skin

shedding away from the existence of the woman I once was

Just lying there on the ground

not weeping or making a sound.

Keep shedding those layers

of who you once were

and no longer want to be.

When you look in the mirror change

Not what you are but how you see.

Have patience within your phases of becoming her.

Mourn her and give her a proper burial

so you won’t miss her when she’s gone.

The shedding of this skin means she no longer belongs

Let her go, enjoy your bliss.

Next is Metamorphosis.

(UN)Defeated Love

Tell me i am not difficult to love

Validate

my

feelings

Am i asking for too much ?

They say to not put a time limit on love

But —

How can it be 3 months and you’re still

not sure if I’m enough?

Are you fucking me for fun ?

My feelings aren’t fully invested, I’m terrified

And yet I’m still not willing to run.

Is it me not loving myself once again

Or you just wanting the benefits and only being friends.

If that’s the case just tell me I can take it

You acting like ur into me to get what you want,

just stop, you can’t fake it.

These triggers are bringing out my traumas

And ugh I can’t shake it.

There’s more to this then you’re willing to say

To win sometimes you have to lose

And I’m getting to the point

where I have to choose …

You or me

I have to love myself first

It’s just not meant to be.

Tell me I’m not difficult to love

Because I know I am not.

Just as easily as I walked into

Your life I can walk out and clearly you forgot.

I can’t rid of this feeling of not wanting to let you go

But after all this time of growth

What with it do I have to show?

If I continue this … I’m not respecting myself

I’m not willing to play the hand that I’ve dealt.

I’m not going to continue to feel this way

If I’m choosing to stay just know

I’ll leave if I have to, if not now someday.

And when I walk away

Don’t be surprised

I don’t want to see tears in your eyes

You gave me no choice

Tell me you want me to stay

Tell me you wouldn’t have it any other way

You have to want this just as much as I

So tell me the truth, speak it from your heart

A real man knows what he wants from the start.

Either we want the same things or we will grow apart

I can’t take another defeat.

I just want to believe

That I’m not difficult to love.

Love this ❤️

Sometimes you need to invent

A destiny where you frolick

Under sunshine,

Sparkling like a red diamond

Every inch of yours

As authentic as a child's smile,

Where you grow and enrich

Like the colours of autumn

Night after night,

And there's no cap

On how loud your laughter is

Or how many skills

Make up your might,

You have to create a small picture

Like a warm and loving postcard

And find a pleasure that contrasts

Sharply with what prevails

In your mind.

Audio to my poem, “Triggered.” Enjoy 😊💎

Triggered—

your hostility was explicitly

nothing more than toxicity

I believed in us, even though you hurt me

you never did it maliciously.

As much as I told you to move on

Your heart wouldn’t let you get rid of me.

Removing you from my life

i knew

had to do

expeditiously.

You liked playing the blame game,

Your words never matched your actions,

You showed no shame,

From that moment I knew

we were nothing more

than a dying flame.

Triggered.

Our initial connection was strong, But…

we took turns using our hearts like a ping pong

Yet no one ever wanted to admit when

they

were

wrong.

Triggered.

You exposed my insecurities

As if you were trying to ruin me

And it took me awhile to understand what you were trying to do to me.

It was too early for me to feel this way

Each week that I cried

I knew

I

shouldn’t

stay.

I’m sad to say but instead of choosing me

I chose you at the end of the day.

Triggered.

You loved me as if I was property in your possession.

I deserve love with no obsession or aggression.

Without question, you were another lesson.

We never compromised.

My peace.

I sacrificed.

My heart was paying the ultimate price.

Triggered.

You were the epitome of incantation

And what sickens me is your manipulation.

I am no longer allowing your exploitation.

I am disappointed that I put myself in this situation.

Besides your lack of communication, disrespecting me was your biggest violation.

For your actions there was no justification,

Losing me will be your biggest L,

With no exaggeration.

Triggered.
