(Experimental rap story thing, don’t take it so seriously — it’s just practice)

It was late one night

Raining

Cold

I was five

My parents told me everything would be

fine

Parents lie

I was six

I was sick

Homeless again

We lived with some fiends

I mean friends

I was seven

She musta thought I was seventeen

Cousin and me started puffing leaves

thick as thieves

Healing of pain

With a grasp of your grace

Peace, serenity and tranquility

All wrapped in a blanket of gratitude

From negativity and vain

Our selfish acts and thoughts

Our hidden darkness which we cannot escape

Breathing in and out

To disregard anxiety and worry

Our faith and believe that is something greater

The ones who watch over us

And protect us from evil and misfortune

When we came ...

my guardian angel?

someone will save you,

when you get to be too much.

someone will help you,

when you’re losing your touch.

and that little angel?

she’ll guard you for lifetimes.

keep your life away from crimes.

she’ll hold you close like a friend,

never letting your life end.

she can’t save you from your tears,

but she’ll guard your health.

she can’t save you from people,

but she’ll save you from yourself.

Belonging

I know where I belong.

With those people, in that space.

My church is my everything.

My family, my safe place.

I see most my favorite people there.

I speak up and sing out without a care.

My confidence is at its highest.

It's the best, but I guess I'm biased.

But here is my favorite part:

During worship when, together,

With lifted hands,

And hearts changed for the better,

My church sings to him; j...

Anatomy In Verse

Anatomy Of A Beginning By SuperGimpChick

Chapter 3

In these quiet halls, hormones hum like bees around a sunlit hive,

The body keeping time with a patient, precise music.

Cycles are tides—moon-touched, predictable, insistently new—and the map unfolds without a map makers hand.

Ovaries: two small orchards tucked in the hush of bone and blood,

where eggs begin as possibilities and then wake or drift to sleep again.

FSH, LH, estrogen a chorus mo...

I don’t know how much I believe

But if I had to

I know I’ve met my guardian angel

Only once

Roller skating and I can’t remember their name or a another thing

I just remember they saved the day....

Back To School

Addy Marie

Summertime was oblivious.

Nothing outside of the present moment mattered.

Of course time kept going,

but no one wanted to see.

What day was it?

It's not like it mattered.

Summertime was peaceful.

No people, except for the ones that mattered.

Refreshing.

You can't pretend to be blind forever though.

Eventually the leaves start to change.

The sun says its goodbyes a little earlier.

The heat of it ...

For TheOtherAuthor

Love ya! ♥️

I wore my hair low.

I let it’s shiny white color flow.

I couldn’t wear a hat.

I would get detention for that.

I looked down at the floor.

The other kids talked, laughed.

I knew people stared.

I knew I was the weird kid.

The weed.

In a field of wildflowers.

It would never change.

Mother won’t let me dye it.

It seems to get brighter everyday.

I feel it mocks my miser...

Angels In My Life

Doctoria Lynn

My angels sit and watch me

They hold me and they touch me

They see that what I need

Will be where and when indeed

They love me and they hold me

When I’m wrong they scold me

They cajole and poke me

Until I go where I need to be

I live a charmed life

Because my angels

Protect me from strife

And lead me aright...

Angel

I don’t think my angel really cares

It doesn’t care how I am feeling

Because it doesn’t make it better

I don’t think my angel cares

Because i have no energy

and no motivation

I think my angel barely cares

Because they never send me signs

That it will be alright

I think my angel forgets me

Because often i am left for days

In a daze of confusion

I think my angel wants to care

They seem to pu...
