I'm back

The school year is coming to an end, and for me it'll be the very last one. I'm almost done!! I've been at this thing for 5 years now and I couldn't be happier it over. At the same time it means a lot of big decisions, I guess it's time to grow up. I'm in the process of finding a job right now and I'm really nervous about making the right choice, because it not only affects me but my relationship as well. Ah.. choices. In my other life, the poetry thing is going really well, I've had 2 shows since the last one I posted about. Both went really well. I've also been invited to do another event mid april. In the mean time i'm working on a piece for a poetry contest at my university. First price is $1,000 and being published in the graduation book for my graduating class, pray for me :) That's about all that new with me right now. I have a few new pieces that i'll be posting soonish. This one's a bit older and is still untitled and unfinished heh!



Let it be your intellect
That turns heads
‘Cause eager eyes following lips and hips and dips
won’t gain respect.
Let it be the self knowledge
Radiating in your eyes
That gets you noticed
Know this
You are worth more than
Insolent lips raining catcalls
Than hands grabbing and tapping
Because you
are a temple

Let it be your wit
That commands applause
Not that hip swinging you think deserves praise
Find a cause
Let it be your kindness
That wins acclaim
You were born for greatness
no less
be that daughter, sister, mother, friend
who others aspire to be
be wise and see
That this skin is temporary
Your mind is all that will remain
Again

Let it be wisdom, and knowledge
That you find in that quiet
When the fantasies of adolescence
Gives way to the realization
That all along in feeding your heart and mind
You have truly filled your spirit
