MASKED






MASKED


Slithering he slowly enters your life
He baits then watches
Waiting, waiting patiently
His strike as swift as lightning
Multifaceted he is
Exploiting weaknesses
Everything one would pleasantly dream of,
Yet the most poisonous of all.

Tempting are his charms
Trusting, his bait
For she sees with a pure heart
Ignoring the faults of all
Though not oblivious to these flaws
Human we are
Who is human if one can't change?

His words construed
Masking untruths as truths
Companions cowering at his feet
Smirking,
The thrill of the chase
Waiting, waiting patiently
Set at an unlevel playing field.

Renew your mind, my child.
It's all about the mind.
Engage your mind, my child.
It's all about the mind.

It's a mind game
The best man wins
Get better at it.
With elegance and candor 
Outwit him
Therein your strength lies.

Head bowed, tears dripping down her cheeks Most nights she cried herself to sleep, knelt in reverence Left alone, none to comprehend Sickly her emotions are  Murmurs to herself,'Lord help me! Help me accept who I am.' Dreams of the world she could help create Vivid are they! Heavy, burdensome... A better me, a better world to create Left to despair, distraught. Then light shines forth, Sees who she truly

I AM...

I  AM... I am a proud African woman  Aflame abroad and beyond Igniting souls to reach within for their inner beauty. I am a wild flower, even in beauty, there resides  thorns with which to face the world. I am free,  having been set free from the turmoils of my mind. But even in freedom, I can never be free until  I  am free to be uniquely expressive and positively enact change.
