A Diamond in the Night's Sky




There she is. Sitting outside on this calm and rainy night, reflecting on herself. Reflecting on all the things she could have done. All the things she could have seen. All the places she could have been. Sometimes she doesn’t realize her worth until it’s too late. Sometimes those dreams and aspirations are just that. Dreams. She knows she can be amazing but she doesn’t believe in herself enough to pursue. She gets frustrated because no one believes in her but how could she be upset when she doesn’t even believe in herself?

Have you ever been in a room full of people, but felt so alone? Like no one was really there. That’s how she feels most of the time. She questions herself on this almost every day. Why am I not enough? Why am I not amazing enough to SHINE? Why must I fall here in the background when I know this is not where I am meant to be?

As much as she would like these questions answered, she cannot. And it frustrates her. Enough to make her fearful of change, yet accepting of contentment. It frustrates her to lie on the waist side, all the while another queen is fulfilling her livelihood. She sits there in regret as the clock of life continues to tick tock and the rhythm of life becomes just a little slower. 

Now she’s at a point, where she doesn’t know what to do. Who is she? Where does she belong? Is this the life that higher power chose for her? Where to go from here?
This diamond wants to shine bright but she doesn’t know how to.

These Underwear Have Meaning

— When was the last time I’ve cleaned out my closet? Not the one where my graphic tees and sweats lie. The one where my broken friendships haven’t been removed. And my unhealed family traumas haven’t been folded. I’m trying to make space for new connections, And I haven’t even decluttered the dresser to my ex’s mistreatment. Even a bit scared to open the bins to self awareness. Because then, I’ll actually have to face my misconduct. So I keep the door shut, And hope you’ll accept my mess.

Skinny Dipping

I decided to take a dip in the pool, only to find out ALL these n***as are just like you. You see, It wasn’t about the shiny things  or the places you could take me, I just wanted you to date me, exclusively. When I ask why you don’t take me seriously, You get all reclusive and talk about how it used to be. Why is it that I’m begging you to show me some emotion, That’s something you’re not exposed to. But when I go out and do my own thing with other guys, You then realize, That you ain’t ready to lose me. Keep me just within arms reach, But far enough so I don’t get too attached. You rather go be with her, her, & her, as if the love between us can be matched. I’m so f*ckin tired of this merry-go-round you got me living in. The emotional roller coaster is too much to bear, So I rather just go sit in it. That pool with them other n**gas. Because at least with them, I ain’t gotta pretend, to be heartless, Or to let my soul spark shit, that’s never going nowhere.

I Hope This Finds You Well

Hey you, With your fine ass. You know I always compliment your skin, And how perfect you are, In the physical. But let me take this moment to show you some appreciation. When we first started out, I didn’t want more than an emotionally unavailable connection with you. But even you wouldn’t let it be just that. In a time where I was hurting, you gave me space. You even told me you recognize that I am going through my healing phase. Now, you could be just that damn toxic, but you’ve always handled me with care. Even when you confuse me with your actions. You see, it’s the little things you do for me that keep me invested. Like having a positive response to every defeat I have inside my own head. Showing me a new way to live and to be healthy. Pushing me to excerise and take care of my body. I was so mad at you for pushing me to my limit this one particular day, But I couldn’t even address it because I knew it was all for my improvement. Even when you don’t say anything, You build me up. ...
