Push Back

If the world is pushing you, it may be time to push back. To take what is yours and declare self  and all the while removing self from the equation. Make your results all about your accomplishments and let people see the hard work. You own this and you need to claim ownership. You were put here to claim ownership and establish what is yours.

Well, what are you waiting for. 

The wait is over and you and I determine the world we want to live in. Ill see you when you get here.

I Wish You Knew

I wish you knew the sacrifices you had to make to get here, you really step in and out of some sh*t. You rocked this life and yet it always has more to ask of you and really why not you. You have always been leading the charge and this time is no different. Are you ready to step up?

What am I even asking you for, of course you are ready. There is no looking back at this point. Truth be told, I am proud of you. You stood tall and continue to stand tall and so there are no mistakes I am talking to you, yes you. 

Thank you for all you have done but you still have some ways to go. Move forward.

Dropping Hints

Its Miami in January and I am dropping hints all winter. Cold weather and a cold demeanor wont make the picture any clearer. The world view is a girls view, pure emotion and no room for logic to seep in anywhere. Sometimes the direction is clear and we just choose not to follow it even when we know better. 

I am literally skating on thin ice, roller blades or roller skates, it makes no difference. A fall is a fall but the come-up, thats something completely different to see. 

Ill see you on the other side.

On-Demand

Most of the time you have to bring it to the world on-demand, they will try to bring tragedy to your door and you need to turn it into triumph. This world was meant for you too, I am talking to myself just as much as I am talking to you. 

I whispered it in your ear and then stepped and your soul take effect. When that didnt work, I yelled at you kicking and screaming. The message has to reach you somehow, not then and and why not now. 

This is the Milky way and this is the milky way. I want you to swim in your abundance and push back against things that should not have been or be. And the allusion is working, you should float and sting like one.

And always be ready to drop it on them. 

Being Consistent

I think I learned some of the secrets to this whole thing, you have to be consistent and avoid the hard pops. One pop, two pops, and three pops drop. You can just as easily fade into oblivion. Or you can be the consistent hurricane that is always moving the things in its path out of its way. Now you need to cross the threshold. Where you aren I reach the point where the world is ours and we live the ultimate death, where we dont care about what people think about us. 

We are already doing it in our poetry, now lets do it in real life. Are you in?

I have always been about Black Poetry Sites

Please tell me you are reading this because you absolutely love black poetry sites. I did a complete deep dive on Poetry Vibe and I am providing my perspective on it. 

If you are reading this for the first time, I wanted to personally welcome to Poetry Vibe, your ultimate destination for exploring the beauty, depth, and richness of poetry. Our mission is to honor and uplift voices that have shaped the poetic landscape. Join us in celebrating 250 years of African American poetry, a powerful tradition that continues to inspire, educate, and connect people across generations. I think we have been writing poetry our entire lives and looking for the write combination of words that moves and inspires us to do more and to be more. I feel the power in my heart and soul and I take a piece of that everywhere. I really live this and not just talk about it.

Exceed Limitations

I am here hoping you exceed all of your limitations. We were all meant for something greater and the truth of the matter is that you have accomplished everything you have set out for. 

Now you need to set out for something more, something that is greater than you. So much so that it makes you tremble when you think or talk about it. 

The time to play small is over and you can truly recognize your greatness. I saw it in you and then hopefully you can see it in yourself.

Floating Images

How in the world did we get here, to the point where we see ourselves as floating images of things we could have been, the acts we could have done and the myriad of other things that just seem to escape us. We are a positive force in this world and somehow it has been diluted. 

We are untreated water flowing in a universe of our own making. There is power in our will to be more than we thought we could be. We boldly created our world and we can boldly change it to a design of our true making. 

We have the power!

Fireball

Im on fire and still on fire for 2025. I came to write excellent poetry and your opinion really doesnt matter. I already think Im great, I just needed a witness. I do want you to know that I appreciate you. The is ours so Im not being greedy about it. We definitely have work to do and I look forward to it. 

I want you to keep your fireball hot and lets keep moving forward. 

This year, all the ones before and all the ones after were meant for us so lets make it happen.

Glass House

I keep throwing rocks from the glass house. I still havent learned my lesson yet. I dont think my ego is strong enough to make it to the end of that journey. That requires faith and I have been exposed to too many things that fell outside the word of God. I was in a spiral of my own design and intertwined in that endeavor was my ego. I was giving it too much room to breathe and I should have just choked it out. 

Left it gasping for air or whatever it was holding on to. I was a willing participant in my own demise and at once I could win if I could just close my eyes.
