I dropped two classes
I have to focus on me
More self care the aim...

Welcome back, dear me
 let’s sip vintage wine and merry be 
awakening to  a radiant dusk exactly as is,
 caressed by this new freedom igniting
 a dance   a swing  with  a playful breeze 
and  to soak  in ...

Residing in restfulness:
Find self-compassion.

Do not call me
strong Black woman for
it is not a compliment
It is a title given to us
boxed inside expectations that
weigh us down
We are not superheroes
yet we are branded with
an "S" on our chest
forced to steer clear of
the kryptonite called failure
Black women aren't
supposed to fall
We're expected...

Tick-tock,
tick-tock,
Every wasted second,
A step down from the top.

Memorize every word,
Understand every line,
Solve every question,
Be productive all the time.

"I'm not prepared"
"I need to study more"
Sleep deprived and mentally exhausted,
Burning out,laying on the floor.

Stop overworking yourself please,
Nothing is worth more than you,
You'll give a hundred exams in...

Practise self-care,
i hear everywhere,
On the ether somewhere,
But I cast a glance,
Obesity is their chance,
I suggest this, no less,
Low fat jelly is the best,
Have you tried to exercise?
Reduce those thunder thighs,
Being fat is not self-care,
Your lard butt is not debonair,
Life coaching us with a grin,
Yes, double...

I did something different
Resulting in concern
They didn’t understand it
And they didn’t care to learn

I made a thoughtful choice
Each time I had a chance
And redefined myself
Despite each sideways glance

I continued to transform
Until I was unrecognizable
Until they weren’t surprised
And I felt unanalyzable

Comfortably the exception
I am finally free
Because...

Eating Badly with diabetes is a Suicide Mission.

I know, because Artur Anczarski, says so.

He is the Prophet, he is the Saint,
And nothing he says, is ever quaint
(it simply ain’t)

As for exercise and diet, ‘you don’t do either!’
(which is not – anymore – entirely true, but...

Hello there before you read the poem/song that I'm about to post I want you to know why I
wrote. I have the disability called Cerebal Palsy. Nothing makes me angrier that people
giving me pity or pointing out or exploiting my weakness. That is what this...

It’s going down
I’m a clown
I’m a fool
I have no self control
Obsession
Depression
My mind’s possession
All these questions
I’m dramatic
Erratic 
It’s problematic
I think I’m an addict
A tragic
Fanatic 
Misunderstood
I’m no good
I berate
I fluctuate 
In this mental state
But I’m stable
Not disabled
Capable
I’m able
To endure
I’ve got a cure
This disease
Please
Relieve
This pain
I’m not insane
Just a train
Wreck
What the heck
Reflect
I’m...

There are days when I feel a heaviness, struggle to rise, go down low
As if worn out, my mind bends itself twisted and I move real slow

Even my shadow feels alone and forlorn in my abandoned shape
Hiding my smile inside a crack because my heart...

In teaching what I know,
Emotions from frustration to joy will flow,
If the lesson passes through the emotional filter,
The course work will be off kilter,
Each lesson pulled down from above,
Shall be a lesson of love....

If I could dream those eyes, bright stars!  I’d be a Man, again!
(By which, I mean, awake to every need)
If I could sheathe the sword in stone, I’d learn to couch the pen,
And write words that suggest, but never bleed.

If I could muse my...
