Today I want to share with you

Future Poet - The person and the brand.

I am a mother of 2 children (boy and girl). They fill my world and are my world.

I have self -published 2 books. Future Poet’s Whispers Of Real Desire Shared (poetry book) and Level Up (quotes/affirmations book). Both are available on Amazon in paperback and ebook formats.

On a more personal level I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) 👈🏾 That right there is the only unwanted thing in my life! However with all adversities you must find some positivity. So the idea of Future Poet, the brand, was born. I became fixated on having to prove to myself and everyone else that my life was going to mean something and not be finalised by MS. It had taken enough of me already and I refused to merely exist.

So slowly, I began to share my writings on various social media platforms and built a website. As the brand developed I made sure to separate myself and MS from it. I could keep this one thing free from MS. Hence the monochrome designs of all of my products and the clean image of my website.

I was determined to show my products and Feb 2018, I took a leap of faith and went to Spring Fair (the UK’s largest gift & home trade show.) The show was an unforgettable experience but immediately on my return personal matters required Future Poet to be put on pause.

I reread my own books, FP WORDS and Level Up, and realised I had done them an injustice by never marketing or promoting them properly. My impatience to prove myself and to succeed had also caused an injustice to my brand. I was focusing on too many products at once, not asking for help and had completely separated myself from it. To say I’m glad for the hindsight is an understatement. I just wish the lessons learnt weren't so costly!

During this hiatus, I've reflected on my successes and lessons (failures) and even contemplated ending the business altogether. But then I remembered why I started!

So today, with this post I start again!

The brand’s mission to inspire, empower and uplift will always remain but this time Future Poet, the person, will be on the journey too! 💜

Some of the hardest words written Come from the softest of places within A revelation of a feeling A confession once held in hiding A secret known but openly denied A thought shared and read with surprise Some of the hardest words written Come from the deepest of places inside A subconscious place of depth within us Memories and thoughts striving to be revived To be surfaced and expressed Flames of feelings struggling to stay alight Some of the hardest words written Bring instant relief Once laid bare They can change fear into strength Pain into confidence Thought into action Generate a new life from despair Some of the hardest words written Come from the consequences of our decisions Creations of our intuitions Experiences felt with our empathy’s precision They are our truth Our mind’s birthday suit Some of the hardest words to be written Still remain to be seen They are still thoughts, hopes and dreams Tears, fears and inner screams Embedded in our self esteem Unworded feelings Some of the hardest words written Can never be spoken Vocally the words are choked on From the beginning of a sentence Or suggestion of conversation Comes stutters and hesitation Mental and emotional confusion Hence why some of the hardest words are written And not spoken Copyright © Future Poet 2017 All rights reserved.

Your words are dancing with mine Rhythmically, in step We dance around the obvious subject Pretending what we see is not there Ignoring every fibre in our bodies Every suggestion, every dare We continue to move in time As though the feeling is not there

True story

The day I pushed myself

To meditate and ignore

My noisy voices of defeat

Through closed eyes

I saw things I thought I’d never see

I learnt more about myself

Than words could reveal

I felt the heaviness

Of the depressive shadow that clothed me

I could barely breathe

Through the density of the smog

Of my lack of confidence and uncertainty

I was smothered by my vulnerabilities

And I had chosen to become a victim of my circumstances

Losing all notions of the feeling ‘happy’

My focus was purely driven by my flaws and misery

In that darkness

I met myself

I was introduced to me

I didn’t like what the eye couldn’t see

And with faith being the last breath I had

On exhale

As my tears of pain, regret and sorrow released

I felt freed

In that moment

A burning desire for life reignited within me

Belief, I began to feel

As the answer to everything I had questioned was shown

In the vision of me

This dawning encouraged a different surge of energy

I chose to live again

Because the voiceless whisper reminded me

“I am the source to the changes I want to see in and around me!”

Start and end the day right!

[futurepoetsblog]

Silence

I have stayed silent for so long that I’ve lost the urge to speak

I have lost the want and need to communicate with you

I am no longer bold I am severely meek

But quietly I continue to accept your disrespect

I allow you to believe you are right in everything

So I no longer feel the the blows of your words that sting

When you raise your voice

And stand in my space

While the spit from your rage grazes my face

I hear and see the lies you present to others

But at home I’m presented with your drunken slobbering stature

Vile words and disgusting behaviour

I have one more day and this last night

Of pretending the stench of alcohol on your breath

Your slurred words and abusive touch is alright

I had considered leaving you a note explaining why I’d be gone

But why state the obvious

How could this relationship possibly not be done?

I’ll take that silent victory

Once I’m through that door

Silent tears deep inside me will no longer fall

As my freedom and my self respect return

I will cry loudly with tears of joy

I will love myself the way I’ve always yearned

My absence coupled with my silence

Will leave you waiting for my words

But you will be waiting a long time

Because all bridges to you have been burnt
