They watch, they sit in silence . . .
still broken bits
no speech
. . . from their lips
no "thanks"
not even an emoji kiss
it breaks me
BREAK THE SILENCE!
you "heard me," saw my words,
why not?
why - do - I?
do I not deserve?
does it hurt to forgive
& list
those things still trapped inside you
as you peak & as you ponder
you haven't;
you don't persist
I speak to all those lurking
watching behind the scenes
the ones I reach out to
but still. . . and yet
I'm mean?
Who told you not to speak
that silence is your speech
that meek and minimal words
[Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room]
~ Maya Angelou - Still I rise
This piece is to help those understand that no one is perfect, everyone makes mistakes . . .
But if you never express your hurt, what right do you have to consciously dismiss the love of others, their vulnerability to you . . . their accountability and most importantly,
the time they cared & inspired YOU.
You don't win by your silence.
You win by connecting to your heart, your true self.
That's confidence!
hate me
rate me
curse me
stare -
dig holes deeper
with desperate glares
make fun
move on
miss me no more
wait and watch
admire me . . . score!
fake the funk
you silent ones
hold the gun
shoot & run
black me
black one
black girl power
still standing strong
no "give up" hour
For those who feel like I feel sometimes . . . ignored & dismissed
I challenge you to do thee most difficult thing . . .
continue to spread your LIGHT & your LOVE
accepted or not
