Redux
Not one of us isn’t screwed up.
The only difference is how many scars life left inside us.

Begin again with every lesson learned.
Try out a new skin of knowledge.
Become whole.
Just do.
My Essence
Redux
The majesty of my ethereal being is within
gifting me an enlightened puissance.
I am perspicacious.
I’m those things that matter
to myself, my family, my community, and my world.
It’s not fleeting.
I remain who I am in the face of darkness and doubt.
This caring, this is me.
This strength, I share with you
as we all march on.

“Men are every bit as sneaky and calculating and venomous as women are widely suspected to be.” Lili Loofbourow
“Did I do that? OH! I’m sorry, that was not my intention.”
“Ugh, I suck. Can you forgive me? “
Eyes of innocence before me for the 1000th time.
Him being purposefully confused to purposefully confuse me.
Slick like oil.
An engineered game well-played to my detriment.
I am maneuvered purposefully, skillfully.
Me still loving, trusting and believing.
Directed by his intention I question myself.
My judgment is slipping.
Damn it.
For the last time.
My Self Evolving
Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #170 & Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Journey
my life, this winding and criss cross journey
enduring the setbacks nature often offers
forces an accounting of my true self’s mission
while i critiquely reflect within my soul
the revelation – the person i see in the mirror is not me
it hurts that i’ve lived with this stranger for so long
i vow…
no more continuing to plod along how others want me
i’ll take the reins now to forge paths more to my liking
my destiny means claiming my glory and being wholly present

A fleeting moment A glimpse of disapproval veiled in silence stayed with me long after you’d forgotten all about it… Today I decide to move ahead shaking you and your views out of my system you do not exist for me as much as I do not exist for you

Your Weekly Prompt – Identity – July 13, 2020
~*~
I
Am me
No one can be me
It is my unique identity
I was gifted with it when I was born
I will keep this identity till the day I die
In between this time, I can develop, hone and refine it
I can make it better or just exist in what I started with
It can be work in progress or it could be a finished product
It has to be my choice what I want my identity to be
You know me by my identity
I am the only one
That is me!

Reverence
what is that we value
a look, a position, the message
whatever it may be
i do hope we take substance
in consideration
because without that, what matters?
because what we feel, think, hear
is not up for discussion
…the truth is most important
Reblog – The Girl with the Key by Dorinda Duclos
This piece can take you in many directions, but for me, it resonates that this is a story of a woman who is in control of her life. What does it say to you?
Cloaked in red, she stands in prayer
What lurks behind, she is unaware
Within her hands she holds the key
To unlock this forest’s mystery
But she is the only one to know
Will never let these secrets go
Though another lies in wait
For that perfect moment, unlock the fate
Of all who dwell within these woods
To release the forest’s ghostly goods
At last she senses, this maiden fair
Of who he is, she best beware
As he creeps closer, where she stands
And reaches out his unearthly hands
In hopes he can retrieve this key
Believes it belongs to only he
One more step, he is oh so near
And just like that, she disappears
Never able to uncover the mystery
It is locked away, the key, with she.
