Favorite Quote:
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
Marcus Garvey


Yesterday, my life changed.
I let go of a vow,
Not taken by force;
It was brought about by change.
Some may even say,
That I brought shame to my name
I do not

Yesterday, I had fell head first
Into a state of oblivion;
Earth shattering bliss.
But the world came crashing back down
Full force,
Real
I was undisturbed

Yesterday, I took a small hand in mine.
In that moment
I had lost all track of time.
I became spiritually bonded with
Mother Nature.

Yesterday, a new responsibility
I carried on my shoulders
I liked it
I felt the need to set aside
So much of myself
I was no longer my own

Yesterday, for the very first time
Every breath I took was not alone
Every step I made he would come along
I had a purpose

Yesterday, I had become a part
Of a society of women
Something I hoped to be
Wanted to be
What I had desired to be

Yesterday, before the stars
Began to dominate the midnight sky
At the moment when
Dusk kissed the tip of the Earth
I gave birth
To my child

I want to have kids and as a young girl it is not socially expectable to envision myself as a mother and I wrote something that expressed how I would feel about having a child..... PROUD
