February isn't freezing.
Seeds and trees
are now weaponry...
What will become of us all
this spring?

it is raining and puddling up instead.
They're calling for an early spring,
but it feels more like
there was no winter at all.
The days were muddy and mild- humid, even. For the first time,
there was no snow.
Barren tree branches
loom above our heads. They fly about in the warm wind,
like the bony fingers of elders as they scold
misbehaving children.
"Look at the mess you've made!" The trees
say to us. "Look at how sick I've become...
you're only making it worse, little one..."
Their roots, the birds, the sun, and our minds
are all devolving into confusion.
Things don't know whether they
are growing or dying,
the entire atmosphere is being tossed
into a tornado
of uncontrollable change. It's ripping into everything
and sending objects mercilessly
into the ether; humanity stands shakily
at the edge,
senselessly waiting to fall in.
But there is still a chill to be felt in the air,
traces of the season still linger,
for catastrophe
doesn't happen all at once.
It sneaks up,
like a frog placed in a pot of gradually boiling water,
doomed not to feel the heat
until it's being burned alive-
but we are not frogs, and this earth is not yet
a boiling pot.
The same way that climate
does not equal weather, a lost battle
does not mean a failed war, and
the only way out of this
is through. The only thing to do
is keep moving. Pay attention. Compile data and ask questions. Rethink everything
you ever thought you knew, regroup.
Rinse and repeat.
We can teach ourselves how to mitigate,
to stare destruction in the face
and fight it, tooth and nail, whether we
end up winning or not.
Plant native seeds in the soil like life
plants seeds in your mind-
seeds of thought, creativity, motivation. Seeds and trees
are now weaponry.
Sit in the shade of the forest while you still have it there,
for the first step to saving the earth
is simply
reconnecting with it. Take care
of yourself, keep away from toxicity.
Tend to both your internal
and external environments-
body and earth-
and realize that one can directly influence the other.
The world we know is shifting fast,
so think about what
you are going to save.
Humanity itself is coming to a crossroads.
A battle between good and evil,
stasis and destruction,
life and death,
is upon us.
The futute of our existence
hinges on the brittle branches of leafless trees. Every moment in history
has culminated into this one:
Healers or killers? Heroes or cowards?
A brave new world, or no world at all?
The choices are up to us.
What will become of us all
this spring?"

Connect to your environment, connect to yourself, and save them both. It's really that simple. But not that easy...

call me baby
today you call me baby and i felt my heart melt.
you’re giving me all the reasons to fall in love with you; oh boy i’m head over hills for you.
it’s shameful how loyal i am to you. i don’t lust this is love i have to put the blame on you.
today you call me baby and my heart melt, but i fear i’m not the only girl you call baby.
so please don’t call me baby for that isn’t my name. just keep it simple and plain for my name is jane.

after dark
My mind goes in places i do not want; it roams the darkest streets I've never seen before.i stay awake way passed the healthy times im supposed to be asleep. everyday i wake up go to school to try to piece my life together.
Im fairly happy during the day, but my mind is sick at night. I have no where to run i have no where to hide. Drugs? Alcohol ? im as sober as it gets, but this void i cannot fill. How do i maintain the perfect person everyone sees.
I'm falling apart in the inside, please believe me i try not to think about all the dark things that drag me into depression. As i said before my mind is sick and after dark i cannot contain the thoughts that bring out the worst in me.
Its this thing called life that keeps attacking me but day after day i try to pertain the person that everyone around me adores. Im breaking mommy and i wouldn't dare put this burden on you.
I’ll be very selfish of thinking to take my life away; i won’t front as if i never thought of it before. It seems like after dark im not safe alone with my thoughts to roam. After dark my mind goes in places i do not want..

It's never too late to take back control. 2020 and Beyond. Make it count. ������
#questions #freewrite #newyear #2020 #writersnetwork #readwriteunite #writersworld #mirakee #writerstolli #pod #poemExistential Questions for 2020 (and Beyond)
Does magick exist?
༻❦༺
How do you get excited to travel
when everyone is from everywhere, and there's no place on earth that hasn't already been touched by us?
༻❦༺
Whose idea was it to stuff us into these separate bodies anyway,
knowing that we all are made up of the same consciousness,
and where we come from we are one?
Is it some kind of cosmic irony,
a joke among the stars,
that loneliness has always been
the most visceral,
the most harrowing,
of all human emotions?
༻❦༺
Is love so elusive and fleeting
because these human bodies are
the real barriers to it?
Is loneliness in fact more natural for these bodies
than love?
༻❦༺
When it's clear that someone you love
can't join you any further on your journey,
how do you muster up the strength
to go on without them?
༻❦༺
How can I manifest my art,
transfer blood cells and brain matter
into terrifyingly vivid reality,
when these fleshy hands
are just so fragile? Is there even a point
to beginning?
༻❦༺
Are we all just little pieces of God,
hilariously unaware
that the individual we are seeking to worship
is ourself?
༻❦༺
Why do we keep asking questions
to which we know there are
no answers?
Is it because if we found out about them, we would no longer be human?
༻❦༺
Why would our souls be so willing
to rip themselves apart from each other,
to experience what it's like to be a mortal individual,
if we didn't have the privilege
of complete free will to choose our destiny?
Will you still say it was never up to you
when you're old,
on your deathbed, unfulfilled
and teeming with regrets?
Who was supposed
to make sure you had none?
༻❦༺
Do I still have time?

Wait of the Earth
Music is the lively
Energy that fills me.
Transporting me distant
From this dying planet.
Where all I do is lay,
While all we do is waste.
And all you do is pay
These personalities.
All you do is tweet,
“Another livestream!”
This was an awesome wait
The great tree-planting feat.

Anger flows through my chest
Down my spine it lay to rest
For if I choose to not let go
Forever a ghost will haunt me so

Drowning
Under water I gasped for breath,
as I slowly sank to my peaceful death.
The person I had been was no longer me,
So forward I must go, for I am finally free.

Nothing else to say but this.
#freewrite #confessional #life #pain #trauma #heal #talk #social #writersnetwork #readwriteunite #writersworld #mirakee #writerstolli #pod #prose #poemAntisocial
When I'm around other people,
I can never seem to find
anything to talk about.
The way society speaks has become too safe,
too disingenuous.
We fluff each other up
but our words
hold no weight,
so I don't do well discussing
light topics
with people who are expecting
light responses.
I couldn't truly tell you
who I am, what I do, or what I aspire to be.
Those questions are
too loaded. They don't have friendly,
digestible answers.
Idle chatter and gossip are a chore for me, because nothing
about my brain is ever idle. It is
the kind of brain
that can scare people away-
for my life is a series
of instilled fallacies and unspeakable, uncomfortable truths. It is one of
secrets, false realities,
phantom pain and misplaced memories.
Alienation, isolation, dissociation, self-deprecation.
I am the product of a childhood
I can't remember,
a series of events I don't recall
living through,
sensations I have locked
too far away to reach.
I have seen Evil
behind the eyes of a woman,
and felt it in the hands of a man. I have met it
inside of myself.
I have suffered far too much,
I am constantly being haunted
by things.
I struggle to find my own shadow
in between all of these spectres.
I am
an amnesiac,
a banshee,
a lonely little girl,
a lost boy, a zombie.
A dead-eyed people pleaser,
a moody witch all in black,
a vengeful monster,
a blank slate, a puppet,
and a blooming rose garden.
I am somehow all of these things
at once.
It's really no wonder
why I'm so bad
at small talk.

Shoot for the stars
Shoot for the stars and don’t look back
I skip a lot of words
My mind moving faster
moving faster than my body sometimes
Trips over self
Cause I was suppose to be there but wasn’t there yet
Shoot for the shooting star
Flying across the globe
Be the star everyone wishes upon
Finding myself trying to grabbed the man from the dark
Without grabbing the wrong
Satan songs
& his thoughts
Don’t delete this
It’s a free write so let go
I’m trying to release demons that have enter my soul & hidden in crevasses of dreams and songs
Maria Maria
Santana grooviest song
Want my guitar to sound like Maria Maria
Kiss me Maria maria
oh sexy notes of the song
Dance around Me you beautiful sound
Morning 5:31 and I have too much going in my head
With constant negative
I’m Shooting for the stars with weights on my back
Trying fly with all this holding me down
Is it me who causing my downfall
It’s only me to blame who else
Who else could it be
For the reason your still no one
Don’t blame the crooks in the river
Or the one ray of light joyfully not shining on you
You have to create your own light
Fight the demons or lose
Fight the war inside and stop being a pacifist
Fight or go away
Go crazy as you rot away
Fight get up
And fight
Take back what’s yours
Your body and soul
Jazzy sounds
And relaxing phrasing
Sets your soul in loops
I love music like no other
My soul is music
I Needs music -

Beautiful Disaster
There she lay.
In all her chaos.
Her head constantly filled-
With existential dread...
She tries to calm
Her racing mind.
However, with a heavy heart
She continue to lay...
Not knowing...
Not knowing when or if
She'd find the will
Or the strength to finally
Get back up...
And when she finally
Does take the leap to get up;
Nothing will stop her.
She will rise;
Higher than her own
Insecurities ever held her down.
A prisoner of her own mind..
She fixes her crown.
A crown of thorns
And she remembers;
That life,
Is just one colossal
Beautiful Disaster

My goal is to post a freewrite on Mirakee a day, even if it’s cruddy or crazy, whatever it is I’m posting it. Enjoy y’all day #freewrite #SoWhat #Jazz #weekend
Free-write (So-What )
How should my weekends look like ?
Should they be productive or relax
Should I read books or play the game
All I know is I need haircut like today
But what does a relaxing weekend look like to me ?
I should go outside for at least two hrs or so
What about Brooklyn ? idk it will happen one day for sure
Do you wanna go
Yeah I do
But I also wanna do hundred million things too
But what do you wanna do ?
I honestly don’t know
But haircut is the most important
That’s for sure
I wanna play my guitar and learn how to play,
“so what “
I don’t get it
If miles was using modes and notes, so why are the guitar covers using complicated chords and stuff ?
Keep it simply
Guys keep it simply
The beauty in all things is simplicity
Idk but it don’t make sense to me
All I know is I had to write this morning
Write everyday that’s what they keep saying it’s the only the way to improve even if it’s not considered poetry
Momma said I fall on myself every year I guess that’s true before I break out of the gross lazy blues
So what du-du-du -duu
I like ya ummm
And I wanna love ya du du du du
So what ummmm
I don’t give a fuck sha-bang
About what others say du du du du
I want ya ummmm
Pretty mama du du du du
You so fine ya cha pow
If I had ring, I would wife ya hmmmm
So what du du du du
That I don’t know ya ohhh
But my soul do ummhmmumm
And that’s enough boo ohhhh
So what du du du du
Just Kiss me du oh du oh du oh oh oh
Tonight, come on girl
And you feel du du du du
How I feel cha bang pow boom
So what
This jazz has me feeling
So good
So what
About how others feel
What I’m suppose to be doing this weekend
Idek I guess how ever you suppose to feel -
A little song
there you go
with your rainbow kisses
there you go
got me feeling different
& there you go
baby your love I miss it
baby I hope you are listening
cause this is a commitment
to the colors of our love
& the aura of our feelings -

Incarceration
I’m alive, but I am not living.
I’m awake, but only breathing.
Flowing with the current; treading water.
I’m ready to let myself drown.
Incarcerated; daily, links are added to my chains.
Years of passive acceptance built my prison.
Held here by my own fault.
Now there is no escape.

m&m pancakes
Your red rimmed eyes pleaded for me
to marry a different kind of man
I remember soft cocoa powder like dirt slipping through my ruffled socks as we hid in the back yard
rushing to grandma's
gritty voice crackling over the phone
innocence pooling off of my tongue
begging to go back
you still wiped at my salty eyes
sobs taking away the gift I was given
threats bombarding my utopia
I remember m&m pancakes in the morning
freckles interrupted by
purple bruises and gnarly cuts
my dad's soft baby blues
reveled the lost, veiny glare from the night before
distrust and forgiveness mangled my heart,
I thought I was his little girl.

In the dark in the shadow of this nation
There’s a voice sayin’ “you’ll never be free in the land of freedom”
We’re so tired of this bullshit
And we wanna break free from this bullshit
Family separation
Little children in cages
Little children being rape
This nation is known for it’s hatred
& it’s also known for it’s trauma trauma inflicted on people people
This nation is built on its trauma
& yes ima spill all the drama

tick
My bones snap, pop
my life has just begun
inside it feels it was meant to be severed
cranking up the dead beat muscle in my chest
just for it to keep me up at night
tick, tick, tick
my mind paints an ominous night
conjuring up Nostalgia,
she'll tickle at my ribs, choking for air
her mouth hovers over mine
exhaling bittersweet memories
tick, tick, tick
Regret presents herself pressing on my sternum
it concaves pricking into my lungs
tears biting against clenched eyelids
tick, tick, tick
Paranoia will set in,
wrily tongue slithered into my brain
whispering soggy lies
but I'll always believe them
soft blue hue tints the window
tick, tick, tick
Anxiety comes with the day
knobby fingers tightly wring my dial
tightly strung up my strings.
then, swiftly snips off my voice
like a dainty strand of hair
sitting up, my bones crackle,
cracking, crinkling through my day
warning me...
tick, tick, tick

Logic does not equate to intelligence. Reason and emotion complete each other.
~~~
Sometimes Logic speaks, but he doesn't understand. He will wax poetic and lecture using purple prose to distract you from the fact that he is confused by true nuance. He loves to challenge the world, and at the same time cherry-picks who gets to challenge him back. His words are empty, and you know it- he continues not to see how scared this should make him.
Sometimes Logic talks, but she doesn't like to listen. She persuades herself to lock away her emotions and send them in a rocket to the moon on her mind. In a mental chamber of her own creation, cultivation of thought stops. Growth falters behind stagnation. Her reasoning becomes her delusion, and her delusion becomes her downfall...
#prose #freewrite #logic #feeling #life #pod #writersnetwork #readwriteunite #writersworld #mirakee #writerstolli/❤
Sometimes to gain understanding, one has to close off the mind and open up the heart. Stop thinking and instead, start feeling.
Always, to listen, one has to stop talking,
but there's no room for reasoning with someone who's too afraid to do so.

Love is a Black Hole
I am not sure when time and space
Started to suck so much
But I imagine it started with the tracing
Of dimensions through blips of data
Hurtling through at incomprehensible speeds
Until it didn't matter where I was or where I was going
Or if there even was an I left for me to be
