I wrote you a four page letter,
we've been back, back, and forth, and forth,
I really needed somebody,
and you showed me my worth.
We rocked the boat like
we were one in a million,
and you made me feel like
I was more than a woman.
Hot like fire, when we started,
and our love's still off the charts,
we might need a resolution,
if we can't reach the stars.
You're the one I gave my heart to,
so you better not let me down,
if you can't be the one I can give my all to,
you've got to tell me now so I can bounce.
Are you feelin' me still,
or do we dust ourselves off, and let it go?
Were you just another one hit wonder,
or are you feelin' me, yo?
I can be your babygirl,
you know I'll hold you down,
but if you can't be straight with me,
I've gotta get back on steady ground.
Accident-prone yet bulletproof, resilience courses through my veins. After pulling shrapnel from my own hell-bent self-destruction, all I was left with was me. Through embracing my darkness, I found the light. Here lives a collection of poetry, prose, and reflections on trauma, survival, desire, and becoming.

Loose Rap.
Great Reset — A Poem on Collapse and Renewal
Big fucking deal, about
your sacrificing sheepiness
of rescue ranger superhero.
Career victim, like COVID,
you dazzled when they gazed
down at you with sympathy.
Pucker up then pout as you play-up
their pattern to protect and help the
poor, broken apex predators.
Waiting for the perfect instant,
crimson, sinister scarlet stains
inside your sweater said it best.
You slaughtered me, I'm soaked
in burgundy, murderous; so what
is perilous when the system we
defend was designed to defeat
us and break our spirits—BUT,
we assume that it is broken,
because it's fucking obvious, isn't it?
Our governments love us, so much,
they will always save us, from the
very same destruction they designed
to divide, conquer, and erase us.
Open up your eyes, just think it over,
research their double-edged details,
familiar strangers with the same secrets,
a speck of seasonal sky spray is soon
breaking news as senseless storms
siren their assault during CNN's
Apocalypse Atlantic that became
another buzzword bent on barricading
the one-percent that are patient.
Integrity, and authenticity separate us
from the same CEOs that enslaved us.
Hey sibling sister family, brethren, bratya bruv, aunty, behn-ji, president, professor, mom, and sometimes maybe, my neighbours—we are human family. Isn't it about time that manmade concepts excused themselves quietly then fell off the ticking stock market cyanide, that drooled every time it discussed depopulation?
Return to knowledge, seeker of truth,
or risk the scar of that resistance, the
very same poison their piety's built on.
Best make the most of the mask that
beat us, this bat season steam will scare us, but it cannot take our focus. Real faith is rarely shaken, so take the bait or beat the stakes.
Spectre.
Losing you left me weightless,
now I float through life, a spectre;
a phantom made the day I woke
to find you'd slipped away.
