In 11 years and over 4000 posts later, I decided to go back at them all, and it was an enlightening journey.
You all have witnessed my years of depression. You all have witnessed the depths of my anger. You all have witnessed my desire to hide in frivolity. It’s when in the past few years that I decided to be truthful that I grew. I decided to go back to my first love. Sharing myself in poetry has shed the shackles. So thank you for being here.
Lord
You showed me
What fruits
Can be had
When our anger
Is quelled
When answering
The call
You have
For our lives
It's important to hear this call.
