Can I show you my poetry?

I’ve been writing, as I’ve mentioned, my whole life and most of what I’ve written is poetry.

Short and rhythmic stories.

The kind that take some of my pain and put it onto paper/screen.

Normally I post every other Friday as of now but I’m thinking poetry will come on a separate post day. Maybe every other Tuesday?

With everything going on in the world right now my brain has been spinning and my writing has really increased. The fact that somethings just can’t seem to be stopped, no matter how much education there is, how many women wear keys in their fingers, how many times we are told “You can trust.” Still the horror stories of the world keeping writing themselves.

And while it always feels like there is nothing we can do about it, there’s no one who will keep us safe, even when justice is served it’s dry and gives a bad after taste, I still feel like I can’t stop writing about it. Because it happened to me.

Because there has never been any justice for me.

Because I know that I suffer daily like others.

So Tuesdays, I’ll start showing the realer parts of me. Things I don’t share ever. Comments will be closed for now till I can wrap my mind around the fact that I’m even doing this.
