Leaving behind a life never wanted, finding the way to a better
life alone, meeting people, conversing, feeling what it means
to be human once again.
...
Mind wandering down paths of yesterday, searching, but finding
that life has been wasted all these years, having been forsaken
time and again because of a man's perverted sense of self and sex.
...
Ridding self of all the emotional turmoil and hatred that's been
mounting throughout the years, getting rid of the anger, pain
and hurt of being raped at last.
...
Decorating an interior mind with delicate pictures of balance
and creativity, producing many portraits of success in life.
Stretching beyond imagination into inner dimensions of ingenuity,
...
Moving slowly at first then suddenly forging into a new mode
of thinking, one that had been lying in this mind awaiting
recognition through a poetical interlude.
...
Racing through measures of time, thoughts flowing generously
into funnels of rhythms, acting like whirlwinds, touching
down at intervals in order to spew their ideas onto land-
scapes of expertise.
...
Invisibly feeling an intense emotion overpowering within,
pushing energy into sublime dimensions, watching as it
explodes into colors of sound as it lifts spirits interiorly.
...
Processing life through coded rhythms, defining meanings and
definitions of survival in a tumultuous world filled with
evil and corruption.
...
Living in depths of mourning throughout the years,
going about necessary duties and errands, mind
always swimming in sorrow.
...
Pointed ideas are poking through the mist of sadness, insist-
ing on being thoughtfully heard and expressed, eventually -
hopefully, being written down in poetry.
