Option 3
Am I ready for the things I acquire ?
Used to mediocre things
Not having enough money to buy what I need
My goal has always been the finer things
Wearing what I want, living where I want
It seems small but those are big to me
I don’t live above my means
Watched people go down that road
It’s not a pretty scene
I’m scared about what I would do when I acquire what ...

Young And Ready
She sees the world as an ocean
And she wanna dip her toe in it
I told her if you go to far
You gon need a boat witcha
She grabbed a boat
She's ready to go
I told her make sure there’s a
Life ring and a lifeboat
Just in case cause you might need those
She responded “that’s fine”
Bags packed
Excited to go on this ride
I untied the rope from the pillar

You're a Big Girl
You're a big girl
With every decision you make
You don't waver in front of people
With the choices you've made
You stand your ground
With a smile or one turned upside down
And you're outspoken when bystanders look away
Sugar, spice and everything nice
Is not all what you're made of
Your sweet and sourness gives you power
That keeps you from going the wrong way

Wounds of liberation
Imagine being totally untethered
After feeling chain linked
I feel split
That part removed
That half is trying to renew
But it hurts
To grow scab over wound
Missing you is mourning you
Leaving you is still losing you
And I’m just as lost
As I made you
If it could be
I would make it be
Should I be chain linked again
I would make it good
Should ...

When His Words Become Hands
His words could become sharp as corners
And trap you there
Flailing in his grasp
They could pinch your skin
Until you cried
And cried
Throughout your shifts
They could catch your wrists and stop you
From moving on
From moving
They could lock the doors, no leaving
They could shame you and shrink you
They could come flying in from an open window,
A buzzing phon...

Boots 3
On the cold winters morning thermal boots are pulled on
The radio announced…ground frost and the promise of snow later in the day
And yet she is happy…
Happy because she is doing what she loves
The market is freezing in December
Icy winds blow and there is no sunlight to warm frozen hands
It’s the people you see
Fellow workers on the market, pleased to see her
Customers sto...

THE LEAVES
The leaves of the tree
Behind the house of glass are falling
With each step of the wind
They liberate themselves from the branches
From the complexity of the connections
Connection of the root with the trunk
Of the trunk with the branches
Of the branches with the leaves
The leaves liberated themselves
From the connections
From the dependence
The leaves of the ...
