“It bothers me that it bothers me.”

—

something that shouldn’t bother me.

this makes a lot more sense than it should

After a traumatic instrument such as rape or robbery, your gaze walking down the streets seizes to be affixed on city lights or the names of different restaurants, the mannequins in the stores and beautiful people; you start to see the darkness of the alleys, the grim smile on the faces of people who you start to assume are attackers, you find pieces of you in people and wonder if they’ve been attacked too. The way you see life completely changes after something bad has happened to you. I tried to look at you and see potential love, but instead I’ve been conditioned to see possible lies & ache, neither of which I’m cut out for.

Throwback to late 2013. I had been writing before but honestly, I don't think it was until the rounding up of that year that I began to take myself seriously. Before then, putting my work online in written form or even entertaining the thought of spoken word gave me anxiety attacks. I've met some of the most beautiful and amazing people by way of my poetry. I've learned and I've been inspired more than I ever thought was possible. I've been pushed and motivated in the most tremendous ways. I haven't done half of what I want to and my words have not gone to even a quarter of the places I know God is taking them but I'm thankful. I'm thankful for love. I'm thankful for what I have now learned to appreciate as a gift. Most of all, I'm thankful for criticism and the people that force me to work my butt off! So much more coming, by His grace.

even though you hung on me while I was whispering sweet nothings, I know you still love me 😂 Happy Birthday to my one and only sweet potato, the only person whose trouble I love looking for and the coolest guy ever! Best big brother, best friend, best guy! I wish you everything good, may God continue to shower you with His goodness and love.
