Change of Mind

I changed my mind
when I realized I
was reacting to the rejection
that wasn't supposed to offend

I can't make him love me
like me or appreciate
the time he spent with me
enough

Choosing to ignore
me is a choice
people make
however I'm crossing
over

I'm taking me by the
hand, by the halo
that is my energy
and I'm going to shine

When I see you
I'm speaking
smiling and laughing
because seriously
I love the goodness of joy

I changed my mind

Just A Thought

How did I get here
does it really even matter
if nothing changes about the way
you react to me

I was made from the earth
I am the earth
now that's something powerful
to state

How dare I, right
what you believe
is your privilege
what I receive is my inheritance.

If my tears could talk

I'm standing at the table
Telling pages of my life
Like how I came to be here
Amongst this crowd
And as I reminisce
And reflect
The wells of water mixed with salt
Are rising in my eyes
The tears I shed
Are silent
Without words or sounds
But if they had a voice
They'd tell you not to worry
Because I follow a course set
In motion
By the God of all gods
The tamer of the oceans
Every drop is unique
Has it's own name
But not a verb
A noun
Or adjective
The walk I walk is backed
Up by the promise talked
I am but a vessel designed by
Sovreignity
