Lately I just don’t know what support looks like. Maybe because I’m hiding away hoping someone sees if I’m okay or maybe I’m just tired of the feeling I gain knowing I have to put on a mask. Either way I know I’m coming to a crossroad ..

Forgiving myself for what I’ve done on the past hasn’t always been easy. I often let my needs that are in front of me be the center of my focus. That way I have no problem with staying away from what hurt me before. As of lately I’ve been challenging that narrative. And it’s been hard ..

The ability to keep your own individuality within this universe of repetition and forced thought has never been easy. But when you want to finally slump down and give in to your evils a notion from your dreams remind you that power comes from light and keeping your prayers together. That’s called God ..[#HeartMelanin]..#vsco #vscocam #vscogrid #vscophile #editoftheday #teammelanin #melaninmonday #melanincuratedwithlove #afropunk #makeportraits #weallareportraits #ThoughtPoetsOpinion #dreamtrapping #hmm https://www.instagram.com/p/B0HbjSDAROV/?igshid=6da129m97ex7

Not knowing who you can trust is a fear everyone has. Don’t try to argue me on this. All around you wish they could have someone they could trust with their own life and happiness because they know you have the same wants for them. But that vision doesn’t exist in this lifetime. Think I’m lying? When someone knows they’re taking you for advantage watch how mad they get that you’re not calling them out on it ..

I’ve been the most forgiving with the giving of love from my soul but I can’t continue to let the scars surround what I’ve protected my entire life. I cannot let my eyes become shattered with the broken trust of others that I wanted. I can’t keep letting myself be finessed by my own artificial light ..

As much as we forget the hardships in times of peace they keep me on my toes. It keeps crashing to the reality that still makes me create. I think the clouds would agree..

The sparks that fly from my imagination represent angels that protect my true strength that’s cultivated and built from love that only the left hand of God thought of holding. The emotion through my powers represent the unbreakable ghosts and clouds the stars gave me at birth. I can’t be controlled. I can only inspire as I journey through these moments in time. I can only inspire ..

I know I have shadows stronger than my own that want my destruction depicted through history books. I know others don’t want to ever see my smile unless it’s manufactured by their efforts. I can’t let my spirit be captured by none of those elements. I have to forever remain flowing ..

I’m not beyond tears because my heart is still in everything I can produce to this world. Sometimes that’s not a good thing. I’m not beyond the blood that’s been shed from others no longer here because I’m always a second away from dying myself. But if you share my complexion and my light you already know this as well. I guess I’m here to say that at times I don’t know who my guardian angel is. I don’t know where my peace resides ..

The more time passes the more I realize that every word said to me cuts deeper than the action. The more I center myself to come into blessings the more I become aware of any pain I still hold. And any pain that comes in ..
