POVERTY AMIDST WEALTH
In Africa's heart, a giant lies,
Nigeria, blessed with riches that surprise,

But amidst this wealth, a paradox we find,
Lovely people suffer, while leaders' greed entwines,
Abject penury, a...

I can't take another hourRaise your fist,
Hope I cower,
You want me to stay, but
I can't take another hour.

a beast tearing through its cage,

too wild to be understood,
too raw to...

Cancel life’s gifts wonder and fun?
If anger must stay
Within brain’s array
Do we run with pain in the sun?
To digest bad memory’s lunch
Chop stick therapies help us munch

UnravelingI'm clawing through my mind,
every thought pulling me closer
to the jagged edge, where oblivion waits.
Fatigue wraps around my bones,
a weight so heavy it almost feels like comfort.
But I can't let it win.
If I fall, I'll...

CHILD ABUSE IS AN EPIDEMICChildren today, are the future of tomorrow
Why destroy a life before it starts
A world problem that's overlooked
I can't understand why we mistreat our kids
Society condones this criminal offense
Where not enough attention is given
As parents, home...

I Miss YouHow much I miss you/
Words can not explain/

better in memoryDear younger self,
You are beautiful, your skin was never “to” dark
It is just fine, infact it’s perfect. Don’t base your skin color on your worth.You are enough.

ComeHoming - Matthew 15:4You’re an *******.
Words muttered out of context, out of line.
A rage-shadowed truth,
but with such unexpected forthrightness,
it missed its mark,
serving only to deepen our divide.
Home is no longer where happy is.
I’m not sure it ever was....

A Childhood InterruptedNeedles on the dresser, pipes in your hands,
Chaos as the soundtrack to a childhood undone.
Screams that hurt my ears, objects thrown and broken, tears on faces.
