Unplugged
We did it.
Pulled the plug on a thing that had become lifeless
To prevent the emotional despair from intensifying.
Are we murderers?
Or did we save lives?
Time could never tell because the two people who were
Involved in the operation had come to a mutual understanding.
An agreement, if you will.
Perhaps one of the only agreements that they reached
Which was followed by action.
For 40...
I Love Publicly.
soulready:
Public speaking for me is like making love. You need to use the right words to bring your audience in, gain their trust and finally please them to the best of your ability. Strategically, I study you as I see myself planning every sentence, every breathe, every expression designed to make you feel…
And finally, solely through the power of my energy, my presence and my speech, my...

❦The Death of a Queen❦
She was like my own. The love that I felt-feel for her was strong enough to conjure up the perfect strands of DNA that would link my existence to the wonder of her womb. She taught me soooo much about strength and confidence and courage. She led by example. I formed a relationship with her son in high school, but she was its foundation. Meaning that she prayed for what was to become of us, and...

Time--less
(Written some time last year; inspired by Drake’s single “Timeless”)
I quit, so there’s no need for you to fire me,
I’ve learned early in life that nothing worth having is really free.
I committed to paying dues, and constantly turning down dudes
To be with you
Someone I liked and then I loved but that’s just it for me
The rest of “us,” the storybook ending is really a...
This is serious: in the next 72 hours, the 'Kill...

Said the Shotgun to the Head
“She kissed as if she alone could forge the signature of the sun.
I closed my eyes although I never knew the difference.
I stood before a brighter light at lesser distance,
And then a feeling.
Almost as if nothing were ever bound to repeat itself ever again,
As if history has been as masterfully created as the great pyramids
And to reconstruct or
Relive any given moment would have...
people spend more time daydreaming about the life...
Yep, I’m guilty of this sometimes

Remember This?
This is how spending quality time with a best friend used to look…us sitting on her bedroom dresser, me laughing, and her covering her mouth to hide the (then) seemingly not-so-photogenic expressions of fun.
I thought that capturing moments like these with a camera would cause them to never end. I guess that was wishful thinking…

A Part of The List?
“I love this!! Standards vs. Requirements. Hell, we always have to meet or adhere to requirements for “structured” things in life.—education, careers, religion, etc. Love is one of the most powerful forces of nature, and thus doesn’t adhere to rules.” (Con’td from reply to womyneosoul)
I believe that trust itself should be a standard that we apply to...

Familiarity
I know this feeling all too well- Unpreparedness. Anxiety. Fear.
All one in the same.
I have entered into a room, primarily filled with freshmen, and I find myself in
The same boat that landed me here in the first place.
“Hope is the thing with feathers.”
If Emily Dickinson were here, I’d tell her thank you, because
“Hope” is all that I have left…

That feeling in my stomach...
When that woman in my life who has taken on the role as a mother— more specifically the mother of a best friend that I had from high school. Back when I was struggling with who I was and the environment in which I was placed to live. Someone nice enough to offer me free room and board in her home…

A Recollection of High School Reds
Cold was the temperature in my room when I awakened this morning. Cold because I was sooo hot last night that I turned on the air before bed. Hot and then cold.
But something happened to me during the middle of the night that resulted in my resorting to the fetal position that I know and love. Except it was something even more tragic this time— Not a bad dream, or a restless night....

Tell My Age
23 days less than 4 months from being 20 years of age. That makes me 19 and on the rise, being that the day has already begun, and I have been spared for at least 3 hours and 38 minutes past midnight. Age, I’ve learned, is merely indicative of the amount of years that one has lived atop the earth and managed to evade the grasp of the Grim Reaper: death’s persona. But I wonder why people...

What is your Agenda?
I once took the time to ask myslef, “Yo Phyl, what is your agenda?”
Myself said, “Pulling things out of the universe and bringing them to life.”

Conviction
Written: Tuesday, February 15, 2011 @ 1:04 AM
I heard of a hearing today that I could not stop.
A trial of thee accused, and rightly so, and I couldn’t be there for you.
Why do I feel as if I am responsible,
For it,
For you,
For now.
I listened to shed tears from break-ups and make-ups,
I left you to go away to a place from which I can’t return often,
You cried out for me and...
